Directed by Ruth Chao, Red Ice (2014) argues that the sudden melting of the Greenland ice sheet triggered "a red alert on the Poles" and provided evidence for the escalating threats of climate change. And the repercussions for the rest of the world could be dire.
According to the film's description, the Polar regions are being affected by global warming much more intensely than any other part of the world. The global mean temperature has risen around 1.1 ºC since 1990; however, in the Arctic it has risen more than twice that amount. Global warming threatens to change that whole fragile ecosystem even faster than in the rest of the world. The situation is becoming more and more dramatic each year and we are approaching a point of no return, the film claims. Cities and even entire islands could end up under sea water. And Europe and the U.S. could suffer extreme weather outbreaks and colder weather more frequently.
Directed by Fran X. Rodriguez and Ruth Chao, The Climate Footprint (2014) explores the history of the COP climate change summit and the fight against our most challenging and powerful enemy. Under the framework of the United Nations, 194 countries meet once a year during two extremely hectic weeks at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
According to Green Planet Films, Surviving Earth is an independent Australian documentary featuring Prof. Tim Flannery, Prof. Ian Lowe, Dr. Ian Dunlop, Prof. Paul Ehrlich, Bindi Irwin, and Uncle Bob Randall among others on the topics of resource depletion, climate change adaptation / mitigation and over population. An epic, ominous and perhaps life saving radio interview occurs with director, Peter Charles Downey on a small-town country radio station about his new documentary movie, Surviving Earth. The film questions “are we slowly committing mass ecocide by killing our host, Mother Earth?”
These documentaries begin to address the repercussions of Anthroprocentric climate change.
