Emission impossible
24 Minutes: English
This film on the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) store takes a look at the southern hemisphere's view on global climate change.

The film starts in the United States where a fraction of the world's population contributes a quarter of the greenhouse gasses. The film reveals that although climate change is already having a devastating impact on the poor,  majority of Americans accustomed to cheap energy appear to care little about global warming.

Change in the air
22 Minutes: English
This film from the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) store reveals  that though accounting for just four per cent of the world's population, the gas-guzzling United States produces close to a quarter of the world's greenhouse gases. This has been making the United States a target of bitter criticism from other nations that claim they are adhering to the Kyoto targets. It appears that the US legislators do not seem to care. However, evidence indicates that this  attitude of indifference maybe  gradually changing.
