'Sun Come Up' explores life in a warmer world
The serious consequences of Earth's changing climate are
the subject of a powerful documentary film nominated for an
Academy Award, the U.S. film industry’s top prize.
"Sun Come Up" is the story of the Carteret Islands off the
coast of Papua New Guinea, where filmmaker Jennifer
Redfearn says Islanders have had no choice but to move to
higher ground.
"We documented some of the destruction that is
happening from rising sea levels, more frequent storm
surges, from the lack of fresh water sources and how the sea
has contaminated some of their gardening land."
Our planet is warming. Average global temperatures
have climbed about one degree Celsius since the last
century and at an accelerated rate in recent decades. And
scientists believe the global warming trend is responsible for
an increased severity of droughts, floods, and storms across
the globe, and slowly rising ocean levels.
