Owning the Weather

Il clima nelle nostre mani

In this information-packed, visually brilliant documentary, Greene's analysis looks into man's relationship with climate starting from routine life to the latest discoveries concerning climate change. U.S. projects could succeed in changing meteorological conditions in certain parts of the world for agricultural or military purposes. As numerous experts agree, this fascinating prospect could raise philosophical and ethical dilemmas: can man intervene directly and invasively on world climate? What would the outcome be? Legitimate doubts given the hazards of global warming.
