YEARS OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY



Showtime's Years of Living Dangerously is about the changes of Climate Change. It is about how people are living with those changes now and how they may live with them in the future.

The first episode has Harrison Ford learning about deforestation around the world and palm oil in Indonesia.

Don Cheadle learning about droughts in Texas and Mexico and a scientist who is also a devout Christian attempting to educate fellow Christians on Climate Change.
Journalist Thomas L. Friedman travels to Syria to learn how the civil war there started because of four years of heavy drought.

This documentary series is produced by James Cameron, Jerry Weintraub and Arnold Schwarzenegger among others.

I like the feel of this show. It attempts to bring the emotions of everyday life effects of Climate Change to the audience. It tries to show how Climate Change effects jobs, living, economics and politics. But what it also shows is that Climate Change is here now. It is no longer something that will happen decades from now. Now is here.

DIRT! The Movie

This is a documentary about the economic, political, and social effects of Dirt(TOP SOIL).

I have to admit watching this show I remember how much I take for granted what Dirt provides.

I like the story about the hummingbird and the wild fire. I wonder where the story originated from. "Be like the hummingbird against the fire, do the best you can."

I'm really interesting in Microbial fuel cells, that is really, really cool.

The thing I always have found fascinating is that many religions, mythologies and so on, tell stories of how man came from or was made out of clay. What makes it amazing is that so many cultures have come to this realization or believed this. Also now we know from science that biologically and chemically it is a very true statement.
