The Baha'i Community is celebrating Earth Day 2019 by a 2nd showing of the PBS/NOVA documentary: "Decoding the Weather Machine". This will occur Monday, April 22, at 7pm, at the Indianapolis Baha'i Center.
Greenhouse gases are being released and the climate is changing. What can Baha'is and their friends do to help mitigate the impact?
The first step is to educate ourselves. Watching this PBS/Nova documentary, "Decoding the Weather Machine" is a great first step.
Nova is a long-running, award-winning documentary series that focuses on science - the speculation, history and researchers associated with it and its many applications.
Description of this episode of Nova:
"Disastrous hurricanes. Widespread droughts and wildfires. Withering heat. Extreme rainfall. It is hard not to conclude that something’s up with the weather, and many scientists agree. It’s the result of the weather machine itself—our climate—changing, becoming hotter and more erratic. In this two-hour documentary, NOVA will cut through the confusion around climate change. Why do scientists overwhelmingly agree that our climate is changing, and that human activity is causing it? How and when will it affect us through the weather we experience? And what will it take to bend the trajectory of planetary warming toward more benign outcomes? Join scientists around the world on a quest to better understand the workings of the weather and climate machine we call Earth, and discover how we can be resilient—even thrive—in the face of enormous change."
If you are interested in climate change and what you can do about it, please come to this showing of "Decoding the Weather Machine". We will serve snacks and have a short discussion after the film.
