(2010)
directed by Peter Byck
With most movies about global warming we either get doom and
gloom or some sort of false science, it's not really happening nonsense. Carbon
Nation may be the sole exception.
Carbon Nation forgoes the doom and gloom and instead shows
us potential fixes for the Climate Change crisis. From wind farms in Texas,
geothermal plants in Alaska, to using your plug-in hybrid as a back-up power
source for power companies. It also shows the green retrofit that was done to
the Empire State Building and how some changes in farming can reduce the amount
of carbon in the air.
I really enjoyed watching this! They continued to use real
world examples of how everything done in the movie impacted the environment. I
think the Climate Change message would be easier to get across in terms like
those used in the movie. The filmmaking made it easy to watch and entertaining.
The complaint out there is that the movie doesn't mention the huge political
and finical opposition to the green movement. All things that are showcased
throughout the film are wonderful and inspire hope. However we do need leaders
to help push these things along and make them cheaper, cleaner, and better.
It is streaming on Netflix right now. Watch it.
