The first time I saw this, I realized how little we are if we compare ourselves with the whole Earth, but we feel so powerful that we think we have the power to destroy it. As you can see, there is a huge boat going through the ice, breaking it. And you also can see the ice is melting. Warming is expected to be strongest in the Artic, and would be associated with continuing retreat of claciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme weather, including heatwaves, droughts and heavy rainfall events, exctintion of species because of the new temperature, and changes in agricultural yields.
The global warming is the result of human activity and the industrialized countries, but some countries think the global warming is because natural causes. What do you think is more reasonable?
Two years ago a lot of countries signed the Kyoto Protocol to stabilize the concentration of greenhouse gases to avoid us to suffer the consequences. In November 2009, 187 states had signed the protocol, and they have to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, adapt to the effects of global warming and do some geoengineering to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
The documentary was beautiful because the photography was AMAZING, and it's easier to understand how is suffering the Earth, and we have to be a little conscious about that... if the Artic melts more than that, falling down the biggest icebergs that control the temperature of the Earth the consequences will be worse than the catastrophies that are happening right now: earthquakes, floods and droughts...
