"What is precious? This earth of ours, this garden we must tend, these people we love."-Lucy
I recently watched a documentary entitled Earth 2100 broadcasted on ABC. The show tackles the many possible challenges the world will face if people do nothing to counter climate change.
It follows the life of Lucy, a fictional character who lived through the worst outcome what the world will become. She lived through what experts in different fields of science and engineering say about a possible doomsday future for the world.
The documentary approaches the issue of climate change in a different way. By addressing the "What will" rather than the "What is", it inspires more people especially reactive people (those that wait for something terrible to happen before acting) just like me. It combines the elements of story telling, vivid images and graphics, with informative interviews from scientists and world expert.
I have seen several documentary, read a couple of articles and even sit through hours of talk about the earth and its future. Some entertaining, some just seems like repetitions, while other just focuses on educating. This tv special is one of a kind. Aside from Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth, this documentary, Earth 2100, not only informs and entertains, but above all inspires.
PS: During the last few minutes of Al Gore's An Incovenient Truth, I got bored and ultimately stopped watching. I had to re-watch the entire thing. With Earth 2100, there are no dull moments.
personally there are many logical fallacies in the movie. #1 less vegetation and water=less bugs. #2 water would go up 30 ft in NYC and NOT RECEDE. flaw #3 Mexico would get cooler not hotter, meaning americans would go to Mexico. there are many more flaws, like the Mayans lived in rainforests where there is no drought... i wrote down two pages worth of logical contradictions, like where would Lucy get gas with a shortage and water with a shortage... the list is long....
