In Reply to: A Reason-able response... posted by rditmars on June 16, 2006 at 15:52:10:
... chiefly the loading up of the atmosphere with carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels."Leaving aside this man´s poor understanding of how plagues propagate, and on how interdependent animal species, and plants, are, their life cycles being so tightly interwoven..., and how our lives depend on both, then it´s not the worst article I´ve read. Lacking any rigour, but not blatantly lying...
On the matter of the intrinsically cinematographic qualities of that film, he probably is right: I haven´t seen it, but his description seems to fit with the way most propagandistic films are made. And this film was made as an attempt to make people aware of the not so long in the future consequences of irresponsible, stupid, bratty, greedy behaviour.
All in all, not that unbalanced...
Thanks for bringing it here.
