Review your 'GOTS' & 'NEEDS"

Film notes:
-Talk about climate change has changed drastically in the last 20 years
-There is no such thing as 'clean' fossil fuel use
-Almost all human activity results in release of CO2
-Politicians ban even the use of the word 'climate change'
-Massive campaign of disinformation to confuse the public
-Fossil fuels interests invest millions in US politicians and senators
-300 million Indians without electricity; coal is cheap, so they rely on it 
-The poorest of the populations are affected the most now
-Richer countries need to invest and set an example for developing countries
-1 billion rely on ocean fish as their protein; ocean acidification is causing the death of coral reefs and fish populations globally
-oceans take up 1/3 of the CO2; ocean can't do it's job fast enough with the fast rate of CO2 emissions
-we're taking away the ecosystems that help absorb CO2
-in the last 30 years, 50% of coral reefs have disappeared
