- 5 years ago
Years of Living Dangerously is an American documentary television series focusing on global warming. The first season was broadcast in the US in 2014 on Showtime. It won an Emmy Award as Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series. Executive producers included James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Season 1 Episode 4 - "Ice & Brimstone": Ian Somerhalder follows Anna Jane Joyner, the daughter of prominent Evangelical preacher, Rick Joyner, as she works to persuade congregations and preachers in North Carolina (including her skeptical father) to join the Evangelical fight against global warming and the Beyond Coal campaign to shut down a coal-fired power plant. They meet with Inglis, gulf coast workers, Hayhoe and former skeptical scientist Richard A. Muller, all of whom provide Rick with information about impacts of climate change. Anna asked her father for his support in an open letter in the Huffington Post, writing: "We are the first generation that knows how serious the stakes are, as well as the last to be able to do something about it in time.Lesley Stahl visits Greenland to investigate the effects of global warming in the Arctic on global sea levels and the rush to develop oil and gas reserves there. Greenland's ice is melting five times faster than it was 20 years ago, but businesses hope to gain trillions of dollars by exploiting the arctic. Scientist Heidi Cullen explains that "if we don’t leave 30 percent of our oil and gas reserves untapped, large parts of our planet will become unlivable." Stahl meets with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has called climate change "perhaps the world's most fearsome weapon of mass destruction". Kerry says that, to make meaningful progress, "the people need to demand that our elected officials take responsible action to craft a real energy policy."
This video isn't association football refereeing related but I decided to publish it anyway because the extreme environmental emergency needs urgent action. Spreading awareness is one of the things everyone can do to protect the planet. Other ways include but are not limited to:
* visiting https://www.greenpeace.org/internatio... and signing the different petitions;
* voting for candidates that are most environment friendly (never ever vote for Trump);
* adapting your lifestyle;
* switching your search engine to Ecosia - every 45 searches means a tree is planted somewhere on the earth; 100% renewable energy used.
