And the ways in which we are wreaking havoc on planet Earth are far more frightening than anything dreamed up by Hollywood: --Injecting poisons into the atmosphere causing our children to choke and wheeze in an epidemic of asthma. --Dumping toxic chemicals into the oceans, killing 90 percent of the big fish. --Poisoning our food supply with pesticides, mercury, herbicides and more. --Hacking down whole forests vital to the sustainability of life on Earth. --Burning huge fossil fuel reserves, creating emissions that disrupt the fragile atmospheric balance that regulates temperature and makes Earth habitable. -- Contaminating our drinking water, melting our icecaps and killing off species forever. How would we react if an alien species did this to our planet? “Would we be outraged? I’m sure we would,” Leonardo said when I asked him this question at a Beverly Hills press conference. “We face a convergence of crises, all of which are a concern for life,” he says in the documentary. “Every living system is in decline – the forest cover, the soil, the oceans. There isn't one living system that is stable or improving. And those systems are required for life." Life on Earth in peril? In a fiction film, people would be gathered around their TV sets, brows furrowed in worry, clutching their children to their breasts, anxiously awaiting some glimmer of hope for how humanity can fight back. But this is real. So is public anxiety even higher? Not according to the Project for Excellence in Journalism. Their analysis shows that so far global warming hasn’t even ranked with Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton in the top-ten news stories. ]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/leonardo_dicaprios_the_11th_ho.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/leonardo_dicaprios_the_11th_ho.html Wed, 22 Aug 2007 23:07:01 -0800 Michael Bettencourt]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/fringe_nyc_2007_dirt.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/fringe_nyc_2007_dirt.html Sun, 19 Aug 2007 14:15:27 -0800 Michael Bettencourt]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/fringe_nyc_2007_bombs_in_your.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/08/fringe_nyc_2007_bombs_in_your.html Sun, 19 Aug 2007 14:12:29 -0800 Michael Bettencourt]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/06/potomac_theatre_project.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/06/potomac_theatre_project.html Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:44:50 -0800 Les Marcott ]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/the_us_vs_john_lennon.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/the_us_vs_john_lennon.html Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:09:45 -0800 Les Marcott]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/leonard_cohen_im_your_fan.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/leonard_cohen_im_your_fan.html Sun, 25 Mar 2007 20:08:09 -0800 Rich Yurman]]> http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/trip_to_the_lighthouse_springs.html http://www.scene4.com/qreviews/2007/03/trip_to_the_lighthouse_springs.html Thu, 08 Mar 2007 15:31:13 -0800 Daryl H.
