Ice on Fire

Director:

Can we reverse climate change? Ice on Fire explores the many ways we reduce carbon inputs to the atmosphere and, more important, how to "draw" carbon ...down, bringing CO2 out of the atmosphere and thus paving the way for global temperatures to go down. Reversing climate change is urgent, given that the world passed 400 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere resulting in climate instability across the globe. We have heard the predictions but now climate related events are a daily reality - summer 2018 was the hottest on record, storms are stronger, droughts are longer, the arctic ice is thin or non-existent and antarctica is melting faster than predicted. Through visiting visionaries and scientists young and old, the film explores the deep hope that we can turn away from the brink. And, just as we figure out drawdown, we face an added complexity, the release of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas in the arctic, that is now entering the atmsphere. As the film says: "Is it game over? Or is it game on? As we have at hand, the ability, the capacity, and solutions that can reverse global warming...not mitigate, not reduce, not stabilize, but reverse.' Show More

Details

Ice on Fire is a thought-provoking documentary that delves into the urgent issue of climate change and explores potential solutions to reverse its effects. The film highlights the pressing need to reduce carbon emissions in order to stabilize global temperatures, but it goes even further by examining innovative methods to actively draw carbon out of the atmosphere. With the world already exceeding 400 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere, climate-related events have become a daily reality. The hottest recorded summer, stronger storms, longer droughts, melting arctic ice, and the faster-than-predicted melting of Antarctica are all alarming consequences of climate instability.

Ice on Fire introduces us to a diverse group of scientists and visionaries, both young and old, who offer a glimmer of hope. These experts propose various strategies for drawing down carbon, including nature-based solutions such as reforestation and regenerative agriculture, as well as cutting-edge technologies like direct air capture and carbon storage. However, the documentary also uncovers an additional challenge: the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the arctic.

As the film suggests, reversing climate change is not only possible but essential. It emphasizes that our current efforts should not merely aim to mitigate or stabilize global warming, but to actively reverse its effects. With the capacity, ability, and array of solutions at our disposal, the question raised is whether it's game over or game on when it comes to combating climate change. Ice on Fire provides an insightful exploration of this critical global issue and leaves us with a sense of empowerment to take action.
