Has anyone seen this program? I doubt they'll ever show it in America.
From SBS:
THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT Presenter Marcel Theroux discovers that the real war is not on terror: it is between nature and humans. Left unchecked, global warming could bankrupt the world economy within our children's lifetimes. Marcel travels through Europe, India and Chernobyl to talk to scientists, insurers and even the chairman of the global oil giant Shell, all of whose comments share a terrifying echo: if we are to avoid cataclysmic climate changes, we must massively reduce carbon dioxide emissions immediately. This Channel 4 documentary investigates this compelling issue that is relevant to all who inhabit this planet. In the words of Sir David King, chief scientific advisor to the British government, 'Global warming is the biggest problem facing us this century... bigger even than the problems of global terrorism'. (From the UK)
EVEN THE CHAIRMAN OF SHELL, LORD OXBURGH SAID 'IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT WE ARE SEEING WARNING SIGNS THAT WE NEGLECT AT OUR OWN PERIL.'
The facts are undeniable: clear increases in the incidence of extreme weather patterns, a 40 per cent reduction in the size of polar ice caps and villagers who have to move further inland each year as their homes disappear under water. Sea levels could rise 40 feet. This is within OUR lifetime. We're talking world famine. An environmentalist on the show said that, as dangerous as it may be, nuclear power is our only hope-Another Chernobal would not be as serious as what would happen if we did nothing. They mentioned alternatives like wind and solar power, but the problem is, time is short. It's not enough. At the end they said we have 2 choices, we can stop using electrical appliances or we can start building nuclear reactors.
Yes, I know, it's all a hoax. And even if it is true, don't worry. The Christians will be sucked up in the Rapture and the rest of us will be rescued by aliens.
