Overview
Using what we know about climate change today, we travel to 2100 and see what the consequences of global warming will be for the world at the end of the 21st Century if we don't start acting today.
The science is based on the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Report from 2001 and is timed for TX to coincide with the release of the next report in 2007. The script follows five stories, showing how different social groups across the world may have to deal with the consequences of global warming. In northern Europe people are struggling with extreme heat, drought, flooding, plagues of locusts and other predators. We follow climate refugees from Africa and see how Europe is dealing with the influx. In the US, states squabble over water resources and organized crime gangs control them. In Canada, scientists struggle to protect dwindling biodiversity as flora and fauna across the globe become extinct. The total flooding of The Maldives brings yet more climatic refugees and calls for the global community to help displaced nations.

Great educational dvd - A fantastic resource for middle years students studying humanities/climate change. Not only a doco but a re-enactment which captures the interest of kids in a way which brings the concept alive.
Climate was onlyone aspect (albeit the primary case) - the effects on jobs, tansport, were eye opening. Even cary for our kids. Challenges and opportunities. Yes, inspiring.
i wont put my full review in so i'll be short and easy. its an inspiratinal movie that should help everyone to go green and save our planet/ home.
