Before the Flood

      This was a documentary special on National Geographic on Sunday night, it tackled one of the most serious and must underrated issues of them all, climate change and how fossil fuels effect the environment.  This documentary was narrated by and stared Leonardo DiCaprio, who has talked about this issue for many years, as the documentary shows.  He interviewed many US and world leaders and took us around the world and showed us the most polluted nations in the world and how even in the most polluted nations they’re still doing a better job to enforce renewable energy, than the US.  That’s the best way that we can fix this problem is by renewable energy like solar panels or Wind mills and getting rid of fossil fuels.  I remember for me personally when we were driving to California I saw more oil mills then I did Wind mills and we drove cross country so I saw many states. California didn’t have as many because they are environmentally strict but they did have many wind mills. In the movie Leonardo made a great comparison by using the painting the Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, Leonardo said “We are no longer living in that spoiled depiction of Eden(left), we are living in that second panel human kind before the flood(middle). What haunts me the most is that last panel(right) with the charred blackened skies, the plant we have collectively left to ruin, the question is can we change are coarse in time.” 

It is up to us to fix this!!!
