screening 'The Great Warming'
::Film Description::
It's been called "THE BEST FILM ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING EVER
PRODUCED." This dramatic and enlightening 80 minute documentary
narrated by Alanis Morissette and Keanu Reeves, revealing how climate change is
affecting the lives of people everywhere, with stunning footage from around the
world.
Produced by Stonehaven Productions, The Great Warming is
not only about our global environment, it also looks at the influence of climate
change on politics, religion, science, education, energy and economics. The film
interweaves startling statements of fact from scientists, opinion-makers and
social leaders with a blunt assessment of America’s leadership – or lack of it -
in what is clearly the most critical environmental issue of the 21st century. It
examines evidence that human activities are provoking an unprecedented era of
atmospheric warming and climatic events: more drought, wildfires, flooding,
polar melting, more powerful storms, more variable weather… and unprecedented
health impacts.
The Great Warming also showcases exciting
initiatives aimed at reversing the trend toward permanent damage to our planet,
as well as scenes documenting the emerging voice of America’s Evangelical
community urging action on climate change from pulpits across the country.
