A Beautiful Lie

in 2003, there were over 20,000 deaths in europe
...and more than 1,500 deaths in india...
caused by an extreme heat wave

filmed entirely on location 200 miles north of the arctic circle
greenland's massive ice sheet is shrinking

we are at war
with our planet

help help help help help

over the past 50 years
the average global temperature
has increased
at the fastest rate in history

the artic ice sheet is losing as much as 36 cubic miles of ice a year
a massive ice shelf the size of rhode island broke off from antarctica in 2002

make change

92 percent of the lewis glacier, mt. kenya's largest glacier, has melted in the past 100 years.

global warming is already causing damage in many parts of the united states

fight

numerous long-term changes in climate have been observed

ignore/suffer

changes in arctic temperatures and ice,
widespread changes in precipitation amounts,
ocean salinity,
wind patterns,
and aspects of extreme weather

droughts
heavy precipitation
heat weaves
tropical cyclones

the arctic's ice cap is declining at 9 percent per decade

over 100 million tons of garbage is floating in the pacific ocean

snow cover and ice extent have decreased

the u.s. is ranked #1 among large nations as a global warming polluter

the u.s. is ranked #1 among large nations as a global warming polluter

the us contributes 25% of global warming emissions,

despite representing just 5% of the world's population

there have been 0 bills passed by congress to cut global warming pollution

(zero)

make change
[insert 30 seconds to mars arrow]

losing glaciers reduces the amount of usable fresh water on out planet

live, die, bleed

take control

over the past 20 years,

regret

the u.s. fire season has increased by 78 days

greenhouse gases have atmospheric lifetimes of decades to centuries

killing our planet

help now

the 10 hottest years on record have all occured since 1990

save

disruption of habitats could drive many animals to extinction

recycling one aluminium can saves enough energy to power your television

u.s. temperatures yould be 3 to 9 degrees higher by the end of the century

what are you doing to save your planet?

in the 2 years since 'a beautiful lie' was release nearly a fourth of the arctic ice shelf has disappeared...

this represents a loss of sea ice roughly equal to the size of california and texas combined or nearly five britains...

the time to act is now
