"The 11th Hour" by Leonardo Di Caprio

New documentary “The 11th Hour” resounds with the surplus of alarm the total heating and offers perspicacity in the causes and the effects of total pollution.

The documentary one starts with the length of news of the hurricanes making rage, floods to take houses, people drowning. Others, on their tops of roof, speak in favor of the assistance. These images are not new. Nor is the message, which they evoke: the extreme phenomena of time can destroy the human life. Like the documentary one of profit of Oscar "An Inconvenient Truth,". "The 11th Hour” warns against the total heating. But the hearth exceeds the change of climate. It treats the human dynamics that contributed to these changes since the industrial revolution.

To make this, directing Nadia Conners of film and his sister, Leila Conners Petersen, person interviewed more than 50 scientists, ecologists, authors, professors and other experts in climate change. One of them is an ecologist Kenny Ausubel. Ausuber indicates that the human society exploits nature with such a degree that it risks exhausting it. It says, if people continue to live in dissension with nature, their existence is concerned.

Leila Conners Petersen says as provocative as it was to collect all these interviews that it was not difficult to convince these people to give their entry on the total heating. “Much of them felts an urgency about the situation right like us,” it says. “And the fact that the Lion was implied they felt “Oh My Gosh! Now, we will be heard!”

The "Lion" is not the any other than actor Leonardo Di Caprio. He is the producer and the presenter of film. Being held in front of a mountain, Leonardo Di Caprio informs that the end of a healthy planet is near.

The scientists such as Patrick J. Michaels, comrade elder of the environmental studies at the institute of Cato, are in disagreement.

“Us (of the criminologists) soaps, I let us think of a pretty small range of error, how much it will heat into 20 to 50 years to come or thus,” it says. “It is not only much. It will be about the eight tenth of a degree Celsius or thus. It is absurd to turn that in the end of the history of the world. It holds the history on its head,” it notes.

The scientists who warn against the total heating are as vocal as the total doubters of heating. They say that time becomes exhausted and the change must occur on all the social standings, of the administrations to the companies to the local communities well to the bottom with the individual. In spite of his scenario of day of the last Judgment, the film realized Nadia Conners says the ends of film with a message of hope.

“It is a time very full with hope,” it says. One of our lines preferred in film -- the line of Paul Hawken, “which incredible time to be constant -- because it is this generation which obtains to change this world. “And very that us must be reorganized”.

Although not the film most visually enthralling, “The 11th Hour” has a sobering effect. At the same time, it inspires the televiewer to rise of his seat and to go to do something to make with this a better world.

just saw 11th Hour myself, the "Nature's Operating Instructions" extra feature was especially interesting... apparently there is some amazing technology built into nature, a lot there that we should use as a model for our own technology
