Description
Summary:Every episode starts by displaying on the screen the global temperature increase from the 1.55°C in 2037 to the 2.59°C in 2070, as well as pointing out some of the consequences that climate change has brought about in those years: number of species lost, sea level rise, deaths from extreme heat per year, number of displaced people because of climate change, the global cost of climate change or the total global population or the atmospheric quantity of CO2. [...]Bilton's daughter and Diane Lane's character, the CEO of Alpha, unite against him and are portrayed as the future of the company, but it seems too far-fetched that both women will bring change without completely rejecting the corporate model. [...]we are left at the same place where everything started, with a world on the brink of collapse that needs a radical shift of human understanding of their relationship to the land and other species so that we may ensure our mutual survival.
