A sensible contribution to the Global Warming Debate

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2007)

Roland Emmerich's film was and still is a massive visual contribution to the Global Warming Debate as well as its seamless blending of computer graphics and actual action. I am working on a genetically modified Amenity Turf as one small contribution to more efficient carbon fixing as well as providing much more land acreage for us and our children to get enjoyably healthier throughout Europe. So many commercial schemes are now being offered to offset Carbon production but for once this film concentrated on the purification of sea water by the melting of the ice cap putting the high cost of similar desalination in the Arabian Gulf into perspective] and its effects on currents and then ambient temperatures. Having helped develop very cold chambers for human athletes the freezing effects in this field were stupendously accurate as were the predicted timings of death which would happen in under eight minute in our unit which of course goes down to much lower Minus Degree Temperatures than occurred in New York elsewhere in this film. But above all this film hopefully makes everyone who watched all of it think about what they would do under a similar scenario and perhaps that it was not as unlikely to happen as we all previously thought ? Not in my lifetime should become as universal as not in my backyard ? So next time any of you smugly pay Hundred Dollars or so to Carbon Offset a recent journey to a third party allegedly intending replanting any of the 20% of the Brazilian rain forest which has been converted to Cattle Ranching or Maize and Soya cultivation, think again just who your payment will benefit and whether you could and should contribute more directly and practically ? And thank you Roland Emmerich for composing and directing this quite excellent and still timely addition to our fund of available feedback.
