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.
