<font face="Calibri"> </font> <font face="Calibri"><b>10 of the
best climate change documentaries to see in 2023</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">These films screened at the recent Wild &
Scenic Film Festival.</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">by DAISY SIMMONS</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">MARCH 2, 2023</font><br>
<font face="Calibri">What happens when you watch 20 or so
documentaries that grapple with climate change and its many
impacts — all in a row? I set out to find out at the 21st annual
Wild and Scenic Film Festival, held in February in Nevada County,
California.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">I braced myself for a heavy affair. After all,
the climate crisis is exactly that: a crisis. Doom and gloom can
be hard to avoid. But as a fest vet, I also knew I could count on
the morale boost that comes with seeing great people, doing great
things, everywhere, every day.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">This year was especially galvanizing as the
festival came to life in person again for the first time since
COVID, with filmmakers, activists, and people who just like nature
converging to watch a bunch of films about the environment and
climate change.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">“CommUnity” was the festival theme this year, a
concept that came roaring to life throughout the nine film venues
scattered across downtown Nevada City and Grass Valley, sister
towns in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The film selections included
a wide range of films focused on people with different
backgrounds, and ASL interpreters stood alongside presenters on
stage at several screenings.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">The sense that we’re in this together reached
far beyond the theater walls, infusing activist workshops,
environmental vendor booths, and even shops and restaurants where
people seemed ready, eager even, to talk about the films they’d
seen.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">One evening at a popular pizzeria and brewery
in downtown Nevada City, I sat with a friend to scarf down a
broccoli lemon pizza and an Emerald Pool IPA, named for the local
river’s sublimely green waters. The festival was all the talk at
our communal table; the couple to my left were retirees who had
volunteered as ticket takers at a previous session. They ended up
taking our advice on what to watch with their passes that night.
And the group to my right included a staff member at SYRCL, the
organization behind the festival (making her an obvious VIP in our
midst), and a trio of her friends who’d traveled from other parts
of the state expressly for the occasion.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">Through conversations like those, a few key
themes began to take shape. The following are the major takeaways
from my time at this year’s festival — with film recommendations
to back it all up.</font><br>
<blockquote><font face="Calibri"><b>Take-away No. 1: Women are
leading the way</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">Women may have been underrepresented at
COP27, but a smattering of new documentaries serve as a
counterpoint.</font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Ever wondered what might happen when a Muslim
chaplain, French biologist, Qatari princess, and eight other women
set out to ski across melting Arctic sea ice to the North Pole?
“Exposure” answers that question with an intimate, action-packed
(and true) story of resilience, survival, and global citizenry, as
the team navigates everything from frostbite and polar bear
threats to sexism, self-doubt, and the haunting shadow that this
could be the last expedition of its kind over the disappearing ice
cap. <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.exposure-film.com/screenings">https://www.exposure-film.com/screenings</a></font><br>

<font face="Calibri">In “Powerlands,” we journey across three
continents to see different modes of power in play: coal and wind,
corporate, and military — as well as the power of community
resistance. Young Navajo filmmaker Ivey Camille Manybeads Tso
follows the trail of extractive industries exploiting her
homeland, charting a trail of community displacement and
environmental devastation in rural Colombia, the Philippines,
Mexico, and Standing Rock. Throughout, she learns from Indigenous
women leading the struggle against the same companies — lessons
she brings home to the Navajo Nation. (Teachers, check out this

<font face="Calibri">“Sisters in Arms” follows six young climate
activists around the world: Adelaide and Anuna in Belgium, Luisa
in Germany, Léna in France, Leah in Uganda, and Mitzi in the
Philippines. Woven through scenes depicting their forms of
activism — from organizing climate rallies to launching community
tree planting campaigns — we see footage from the late 90s, when
another prominent youth activist, Julia Butterfly Hill, took a
stand for the redwoods in Northern California. Linking her
leadership with theirs, the film draws a clear line between the
willingness to take a stand and the strength that many women have
found in sisterhood.

<font face="Calibri"><b>Rockies Repeat (20 minutes)</b></font><br>
<font face="Calibri">“Rockies Repeat” brings viewers to the Canadian
Rockies, where a team of Indigenous and other women artists have
come together to reinterpret the work of early Banff painter
Catharine Robb Whyte, who painted the glacial beauty here nearly
100 years ago. But now, instead of the icy landscape she’d so
lovingly rendered, the artists are met with record-breaking heat,
wildfire-smoke-clogged horizons, and a visibly disappearing
glacier. Expect rousing music, breathtaking scenery, and a shared
conviction that a melting glacier isn’t just an environmental loss
— it’s a powerful loss emotionally and culturally, and bearing
witness to it is part of what makes us human. </font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Living up to Paris agreement commitments is
no simple undertaking. Doing so requires restructuring the

Phoenix, Louisiana, the passionate leader who helped his community
rebuild after Katrina. Now he’s doubling down on helping his
congregation and neighbors protect their homes from future storm
surges. When asked the question more people are hearing every day
— “Have you considered moving?” — he is resolute in his desire to
stay. “This is our home. Our blood is here.” If he has to rebuild
again, and again, he says, that’s what he’s going to do. And, he
counters, what would be the point in moving? No place is immune to
climate change... trailer

<font face="Calibri">The personal becomes political in “Dear
President Biden,” as activists across the country take turns
voicing their stories, concerns, and requests with President
Biden. In general, they appreciate the Biden administration’s
climate progress to date, from rejoining the Paris agreement on
his first day in office to passing the Inflation Reduction Act,
aka “the climate bill,” and earmarking infrastructure bill dollars
to support the clean energy jobs pipeline.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">But they’re also upset about setbacks they’ve
seen, in the news and their communities, including auctioning for
offshore drilling a record-breaking 80 million acres in the Gulf
of Mexico and opening up more public land to fossil fuel
development. The film also takes aim at the administration’s
investment in carbon capture, which removes carbon dioxide from
stationary pollution sources like coal power plants — but that
some climate researchers argue is dangerous and helps extend the
life of the fossil fuel industry. </font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Even the recognition that we need to move from
coal to solar is not at all simple, at least for people in
Appalachia. In “Devil Put the Coal in the Ground,” an affecting
feature-length film featuring music from Steve Earle and Iris
DeMent, we see how coal mining ravaged public health across West
Virginia — but also how it formed the fabric of many communities.
It was the job passed down from father to son, over generations,
that enabled working-class people across the state to provide for
their families. To one town judge, cutting out coal may sound like
an easy solution — when you don’t live there. But for people and
families in coal country, he says, “It’s kind of an existential
loss.” It’s losing out on the vision you had for your future that
had been based on everything your family had done for generations.</font><br>

<font face="Calibri">Adding another layer to the complexity: The
clean energy transition depends on critical mineral extraction,
which can be done responsibly with respect for local and
Indigenous communities, economic justice, and environmental
impacts — or not. “Sagebrush Gold” examines dueling points of view
over lithium mining in Nevada.</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Calibri">On one hand, there’s the soft-spoken industry
representative who speaks with conviction about the climate
benefits of lithium mining here. There’s also the motel owner who,
in her “Colbert/Stewart for president” T-shirt, suggests that
concerns over the cultural impacts of the proposed mine are a
NIMBY issue and that the mine is a necessary part of the shift
away from fossil fuels. On the other hand, Indigenous leaders,
ranchers, and biologists are actively protesting the mine, railing
against its ecosystem impacts and potential consequences for human
health, too. Although the mine in question during filming is on
hold as of early 2023, there are thousands of lithium mine
requests pending in the state.</font><br>
<blockquote><b><font face="Calibri">Take-away No. 3: We can do hard
things</font></b><br>
<font face="Calibri">We’ve established that facing the climate
crisis isn’t easy. And the feelings people have about it
probably aren’t either. The following films take those things
up, mash them together, and remind viewers that humans are well
suited to taking on big challenges when we take care of
ourselves and each other along the way...</font><br>

psychotherapist Anderson Todd’s candid confession of his struggles

<b>AI Is Essential for Solving the Climate Crisis</b><br>
July 7, 2022 <br>
By Hamid Maher, Hubertus Meinecke, Damien Gromier, Mateo
Garcia-Novelli, and Ruth Fortmann<br>
The changing climate will have a major impact on environmental,
social, and economic systems around the globe. We are already
experiencing many of its environmental effects, from longer droughts
to more destructive storms.<br>
<br>
Mitigation is therefore critical, including efforts to achieve
net-zero emissions by 2050. However, minimizing the harm will also
require increasing our efforts at adaptation and resilience—from
immediate crisis response to long-term planning. Further, these
efforts will require support from activities such as research,
finance, and education.<br>
<br>
AI as a tool is uniquely positioned to help manage these complex
issues. Due to its capacity to gather, complete, and interpret
large, complex datasets on emissions, climate impact, and more, it
can be used to support all stakeholders in taking a more informed
and data-driven approach to combating carbon emissions and building
a greener society. It can also be employed to reweight global
climate efforts toward the most at-risk regions. (See “Addressing
the Needs of the Global South.”)<br>
- -<br>
<b>The AI Opportunity</b><br>
Global public- and private-sector leaders surveyed see the greatest
business value for AI in the reduction and measurement of emissions.
However, there are many diverse ways in which global leaders can use
AI to achieve their goals.<br>
<br>
Mitigation. AI can be employed to help measure emissions at both
the macro and micro levels, reduce emissions and greenhouse gas
(GHG) effects, and remove existing emissions from the atmosphere. In
BCG’s experience, for example, AI can be used to help reduce GHG
emissions equal to 5% to 10% of an organization’s carbon footprint,
or a total 2.6 to 5.3 gigatons of CO2e if scaled globally.<br>
Adaptation and Resilience. AI can be applied to improve hazard
forecasting for regionalized long-term events, such as sea-level
rise, and for immediate, extreme events, such as hurricanes, among
other possibilities. These applications include the management of
vulnerability and exposure, such as by developing infrastructure
that can minimize the impact of climate hazards.<br>
Fundamentals. AI can also be used to bolster efforts across
climate research and modeling; climate finance; and education,
nudging, and behavior change, such as by powering personalized tools
to estimate an individual’s carbon footprint or making
recommendations for environmentally friendly purchases. (See the
exhibit.)...<br>
- -<br>
<b>A Call for Solutions</b><br>
While there are still numerous roadblocks to implementation, we are
excited to work with AI for the Planet to help new solutions push
past those roadblocks and achieve their potential at scale. We
encourage all interested parties to participate in our first call
for solutions—including those at any stage of maturity, given a
working prototype, and from any sector.<br>
<br>
Recognizing that all individuals, communities, and organizations
have a role to play regardless of their formal role in AI or climate
topics, readers are further invited to consider how other emerging
technologies can help fight climate change and to remove obstacles
to scale for those as well.<br>
<br>
Finally, we encourage readers who are engaged in the climate or AI
communities to share the roadblocks, frictions, and pain points they
face in engaging with climate analytics, AI solutions for the
climate crisis, and other issues. This vital support will inform
future publications and, more importantly, help us prioritize our
efforts to address these pain points.<br>

<font face="Calibri">"Politicians are weighing in on the subject
as never before, especially with the advent of a Democratic-led
Congress. It appears likely, if not certain, that whoever is
elected president in 2008 will treat the issue seriously and act
accordingly, thereby bringing the United States into concert
with most of the rest of the world. Just last week, Senator John
McCain of Arizona, a presidential aspirant and the co-author of
a bill mandating stronger action, asserted that the argument
about global warming 'is over.' Back in the day, such words from
a conservative Republican would have been unimaginable, even if
he were something of a maverick."</font><br>
