Which are the latest challenges about climate change after the Copenhagen Conference?

"Public Enemy No. 1: Carbon" provides a unique opportunity to hear the current situation straight from the cutting edge scientific community and the environmental negotiators themselves. 

This exclusive documentary delivers the latest facts and provides politicians and decision-makers with solutions that can ultimately save our planet…
Global warming is increasing at an alarming rate and the scientific community is joining forces in an attempt to avoid the dramatic consequences. This documentary follows  the carbon cycle to illustrate the crucial role that this fundamental element plays in the life of the planet and is supported with impressive animation sequences. Human interference with this natural cycle has turned this vital element into public enemy No. 1. It is an excess of CO2 that is causing irreparable damage to our planet and will continue to do so if we do not change our lifestyles.

This 52' HD documentary focuses on:
- Real solutions to reduce CO2 emissions
- Existing causes of climate change and the direct link with the earth's energy problems
- Political and economic hurdlers
- Whether man can succeed in limiting greenhouse gas emissions and at what price
- Whether the international community can reach a consensus to avoid the worst

The film features unique interviews with top scientists and negotiators who are working relentlessly for the future of our planet. Nobel Peace Prize winner and Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Dr Pachauri shares his opinions. Todd Stern, the principal advisor to the Obama Administration and chief American negotiator to the successor of the Kyoto protocol, COP15, states his case. Also appearing in the documentary are the former EU Commissioner for Environment, Stavros Dimas and Michel Jarraud, Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, Greenpeace and others…
The scientific community has the solutions to save our planet, now it is up to the politicians to make the right decisions.

What if this carbon crisis is an opportunity for us to reset the global balance?

"Public Enemy No. 1: Carbon" is from the producers of "The Gulf Stream and The Next Ice Age" which was successfully distributed worldwide.
