The 11th Hour

The 11th Hour film was directed by Leila and Nadia Conners.Some of those represented in the film were Richard Heinberg, Stephen Hawking, Thomas Hartman, David Orr, Sylvia Earle, and many more. However, the narrator was Leonardo Dicaprio. In the film were several representatives that spoke on the subject of global warming and the human society balancing with Earth's nature. A argument made in the film stated that "We [humans] are not separate from nature, however we have convinced our selves to be the dominate nature figure." People are apart of nature, but people have not recognized this yet and have began to take over nature because they think nature has no rights like humans. People have participated in over-whelming deforestation, in mixing natural greenhouse gasses with unnatural gasses, and in carbon dioxide wasting. These activities have been taking place because the human species have a desire to sustain a mobilized world. The result to this kind of human thinking had caused problems to global warming, eco-systems, the ocean life span, and failure to the industrial systems. All of which, according to the film, rates of decline are steadily increasing. The collapse that the world is about to experience is the result to human ignorance in terms of the Earth.

Most living systems are not stable, including Earth itself. Humans have increasingly pushed unnatural greenhouse gases into the Earth and has caused it to heat up and global warming disasters to occur more often then they normally would. Dicaprio argues that people have failed to realize global warming is real because they don't know what it looks like. Global warming are those droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, massive heatwaves, earthquakes, and floods that the world has experienced in the last 10 years. The difference is that these are all responses to damage that they humans have placed upon Earth; this is man-made global warming. The only way to fix what is occurring is by repairing human nature's relationship with nature life.
