Run Time 45 minutes


The March documentary is Earth Under Water, which is based on research by NASA astro-biologist and paleontologist Professor Peter Ward and a group of respected American climatologists. This short (45 minutes) film explores the escalating consequences should the atmosphere’s CO2 levels treble over the next 100 to 300 years, as has been predicted.  Step by step, it paints a chilling picture of the world as the sea levels rise from between one and 70 meters.


The film also questions experts and politicians about what measures can be taken now to stop the current rise of CO2 emissions, and explores how extreme engineering will buy us time.
