Description
Summary:
This film offers a wealth of scientific evidence for dire climate change predictions--but it also shows how business, local governments, and citizens can take positive action to reduce future dangers. With in-depth discussions of what may lie ahead, including increases in storm surges, hurricanes, water pollution, forest fires, and epidemics, the program promotes the urgently needed use of alternative energy sources, such as biodiesel, clean-burning coal, and wind and solar power. Interviews with leading climatologists and environmental health experts enliven the film's two-pronged focus on perils and solutions.--Container.
