This disturbing report on climate change examines the costs to the planet of the vicious North-South cycle of developing Region debt and unsustainable development. Six billion tonnes of carbon dioxide are deposited into the atmosphere every year and 3.2 million tonnes of oil are spilled into the oceans. The humans that inhabit this planet are waging war on the earth, but Nature, claims the film, is taking its revenge. Every year hurricanes and earthquakes devastate communities around the world. In south India, the introduction of renewable solar energy plants have paved the way toward greater co-operation between North and South.
