Planet Oil (2015) Climate Wars
As we entered the 21st century, the world was guzzling oil, coal and gas like never before. In this concluding episode, Iain Stewart argues we face a stark choice. Do we continue feed our addiction--suck Planet Oil dry--and risk catastrophic climate change, or do we go hell for leather for alternative energy sources; nuclear, renewables, to make the transition from our fossil fuel past to a low carbon future. In which case, how do we make that shift?
