FILMS ON WILDLIFE AND ENVIRONMENT
The Green House Effects - AD 2048 (46 min; dvd; English)
The Ozone Alarm - AD 2048 (49 min; dvd; English)
Films courtesy: Centre for Science and Environment
Set in the fictional future of the year 2048, this two-part Norwegian film focuses on the damage human activity and man - made chemicals can inflict on the environment. The films look at what the world would be like if the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming continue unchecked. TV news bulletins in 2048 report an appalling litany of disaster stories: epidemics of "˜supertyphus' spread by rats, plagues of grasshoppers devouring food crops and famine relief camps in Europe while in the Middle East, hundreds are killed fighting over the last remaining fresh water supplies. The films end on a positive note that world leaders still have time to ward off the catastrophe
