FIND OUT ABOUT THE SCIENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE NEW DVD
Produced and directed by Kathryn Kelly
This documentary film fills a significant gap by providing a
wealth of scientific information on climate change and the oceans.
It's not that easy to find out about the science of climate change
without politics intervening. Did you know that more than 90% of
the heat from greenhouse gas emissions goes into the oceans, not
into the atmosphere?
The scientists you'll hear interviewed in the film, who are
international leaders in their fields of climate research, explain
in graphic terms how increasing ocean heat, changes in currents,
sea level rise, ocean acidification and feedback effects in the
climate system may affect your life in the not too distant future.
If you've got kids, their future is important and you'll want to
know whether climate change is a real threat to them. This film
will inform you.
Nine scientists have contributed to this film, so there is variety
in the voices you'll hear, including James Hansen of NASA, who is
recognised as one of, if not the, foremost climate scientist in the
world.
James Hansen tells us that 'you can't tie a rope around an ice
sheet' and Will Steffen shows us how, with a one metre sea level
rise and storm surge, while you might be able to have a coffee in
the second level of the Brisbane airport, your plane won't be able
to come in or go out because the runway will be under water.
The length of THE INERTIA TRAP is 45 minutes and the Extras on the
DVD provide 88 minutes of more detailed information - invaluable
for teachers or students. Ask your local library to get a copy as
well.
A further DVD of a presentation by Professor Will Steffen at the
Australian Academy of Science, also available from Ronin Films,
provides a comprehensive overview of the climate change issue.
