Thin Ice - new film release this month

It's not a secret that scientists involved in climate change and global warming research have been under attack for a number of years now. Some have been insulted, some have been threatened with physical violence, some have been threatened with hanging or prison. A new film created by a scientist about the scientists has been produced and is due for release on 22nd April. Here is the trailer:

Home - the movie


Just finished watching Yann Arthus-Bertrand’s 'Home' which was released today on YouTube and shown on Sky Movies.

The narrator (Isabelle Delannoy?) along with the music make the film compelling to watch, and the imagery is stunning. The movie is about planet Earth and its development from a lifeless planet until today.

The one issue that is disappointing is the list of sponsors and funders, many of which are probably contributing to the problems that the film portrays. Despite this flaw, it is still a film that must be watched and you can do it here.
