Interesting Details On Films About Global Warming

By Paul Kerr


It seems that people are coming from all directions to create movies about global warming. Many people are moved to educate people regarding the subject and want to reach the widest possible audience. Books do not hold the appeal they once did. Now, people wish to sit down and watch a movie to understand subjects like global warming.

Although Al Gore has a book by the same name, most people know An Inconvenient Truth like a feature length documentary movie. The film boils down to a power-point presentation that Gore has given often on the subject of global warming. Al Gore simply presents facts inside a low-key, personable way. The film includes some biographical details about Al Gore, too.

The 60 Minutes documentary, The Age of Warming, which aired April 1, 2007, is a must-see for those interested in global warming. Inside it, correspondent Scott Pelley explores Antarctica to find evidence of global warming. There, Pelley finds that the Adelie and Chinstrap penguins are being endangered by loss of habitat. He also finds glaciers that are in the process of rapid melting into lakes. It's an eye opener.

Some fictional movies happen to be made with the theme of global warming. One is The Day After Tomorrow, starring Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal. As the science may not be precisely or even nearly right, the effects are fantastic. It is a good old-fashioned disaster flick with all of kinds of natural disasters. Bring out the popcorn, but don't expect to be educated.

An Earth Story, starring Ross Gelbspan and John Hutchison is yet another of those documentary-type movies. It tells the storyline about all those scary predictions of global warming due to global warming. The sub-title is definitely an Alternative to Extinction. That alone should explain how dramatic this movie is. The solutions to global warming are equally dramatic.

Not quite a traditional movie, Dr. Elisabet Sahtouris' Crisis as Opportunity: Living Better on the Hotter Planet is unique. Instead of being distraught and woeful, Sahtouris views global warming as a natural evolutionary process. She sees it as a beneficial challenge that will help people learn how to live together as they not have before.

Energy Crossroads: A burning have to change course, is a documentary movie about the energy crisis. It deals with the amount of oil that will be left later on and the different ways to overcome that crisis. However, a great part of this movie is devoted to a study of how energy issues are associated with global warming. It points to climatic change as one of the reasons humans desire to make changes.

There is a set of movies called the Secrets of the Millennium. Probably the best of this series is the one with info on global warming. It is titled Strategies of the Millennium: Man vs. Nature: Who'll Win? It dramatically exposes humans' desires to control earth, while letting things get free from hand environmentally at the same time.

Many celebrities make their own movies on global warming. Some of them are not available for viewing yet, and some of them can be seen on the internet. One example is global warming films by Leonardo DiCaprio that can be viewed on his website. Because the reality of global warming takes hold, more movies will certainly deal with the subject.
