COMPARISON OF TWO MOVIES ON GLOBAL WARMING

Mother Earth is a unique planet. For us, it is the only known plant that supports life. Life exists in the narrow zone of contact of lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere (known as biosphere). What ever surrounds the earth life is called environment. The Ecosystem of planet earth is delicate. The biotic components of this ecosystem like flora, fauna and micro organism depend on the physical components like land, air, water, sun. It is important to maintain the balance between the physical and biotic components. Pollutions of physical components of nature will destroy life and destroy wild life and ultimately destroy man.

Man’s short sightedness has lead to artificial ways of living which has severely damaged the environment. We are facing a threatening problem from global warming. If we don’t regain our balance by reorienting our way of living we may have to face severe consequences. The destruction that would follow will change the entire political map of the world.

Artificial Intelligence (2001), Waterworld (1995) and The day after tomorrow(2004) are some of the movies that have tried to deal with the subject of Global warming.
