Acerca de esta película

Trace the geologic story of our home planet, beginning with its formation four-and-a-half billion years ago and continuing with its evolution to the present. Shot in top geologic hot spots on all seven continents, interspersed with footage of earthquakes and volcanoes from Nepal to Antarctica, this film features a diverse group of leading geologists who reveal the latest thinking about how the Earth works, from the core to the crust and up into the atmosphere. Earth: The Inside Story contrasts Earth's geology with that of other planets in our solar system, dramatically underscoring how unique our planet is, and delves into the unpredictable sequence of geologic and cosmic events that happened before we humans made our appearance on Earth just a few million years ago. Working up to modern times, the film lends scientific perspective to a question people are asking in light of recent news coverage of major earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and extreme weather: Are the Earth's natural systems undergoing a period of intense upheaval?

Fossil fuel burning is not the issue. Agri-Business accounts for over 55 percent of all, that's right all green house gas emission. 3.5 times the amount from fossil fuel consumption and they require A LOT of food and water! You wouldn't believe how much we pump into a cow,pig,chicken or other animals so we can eat them. But everyone loves a steak right I think we are going to steak the environment in the heart!
