Films:
‘Before the Flood‘ Leonardo deCaprio. This is a powerful, stunningly beautiful film. It touches all of the climate change bases in a way that sticks in the memory in a way that the dry facts and news coverage cannot manage. Whatever you may think of Di Capriccio’s performance as the guide and interviewer, you’ve got to give a lot of credit to someone who has access to Obama, the UN, and the Pope! The film is worth watching if only for the scolding by the Indian environmental official for American indifference and the sometimes lyrical depiction of the present and future condition of the Earth by a courageous former astronaut. (Thanks to Katherine Thorndike and Ron Lawler for providing this link and description of the film.)
