The Big Freeze

1. Explain how the film shows the interdisciplinary relationship of the sciences.

The film showed the interdisciplinary relationship of the other sciences by relating different sciences to another. The Big Freeze is a film about the climate change that is happening and has happened to the earth. We’ve all been wondering why these things happen and what caused it to happen. These past few years, especially in the Philippines, programs have been implemented like the eco bags, The Reuse, Reduce and Recycle to stop the climate change we have been experiencing. The film entitled The Big Freeze is also close to one of the possible scenarios predicted by scientists in which the Universe may end. It is a direct consequence of an ever expanding universe. The most telling evidences, such as those that indicate an increasing rate of expansion in regions farthest from us, support this theory. As such, it is the most widely accepted model pertaining to our universe’s ultimate fate.

The climate change we’ve been experiencing made lots of theories and stories about the nearing of the end of the world. That is why a lot of Geographers are clearing that some things that people are telling are not true. What is happening to the Earth right now happened through the times. It’s just that we are starting all over again.

Geographers believe that this particular “problem” occurs from time to time, from century to century. This documentary film focuses on the drastic and gradual climate changes since the formation of the earth. The film starts with sky-touching mountains and hills of the northern hemisphere. Geologists believe that these mountains were topped with ice.

However, the climate theories of geologists explain that our planet has undergone severe climate changes ranging from the heart-shivering ice cold to the body piercing scorching heat.

    When listening to a political debate, you will usually hear the words “global warming”. Hearing those words, most think of droughts, temperature or weather changes. Glacier calving is rarely thought of, but after watching this video I cannot think of global warming without seeing the video of the Ilulissat Glacier calving. The monstrous force of nature is shown in full effect during the video. The powerful image is plenty to convince anyone of the strengths of…

    I believe it supports our definition of geography, for both the film’s and definition’s main points/ideas are in relevance to a cause(human activity) and effect(on natural environment) type system. Global warming, an obvious interaction/problem between human activity and the natural environment is also covered in this film. It states that there is a hole in the ozone above Antarctica, larger than Europe caused by chemicals used daily. Such chemicals are being released more and more each day; faster than our trees and oceans can absorb. Having less and less trees each day could also be an important factor to take into account. The rainforest is disappearing due to deforestation,…

    Abstract—by its spectacular special effects, the movie The Day after tomorrow shook the World and made people sensitive to Global Warming phenomenon. Despite the undeniable quality of the film, we have to figure out what is plausible and what is definitely not. To do so, I will first describe what kind of elements maintain our specific atmosphere, then I will present how scientists explain1 the Global Warming phenomenon, its causes and its forecasts. It will be followed by a comparison between accumulated scientific…

    The author raised the fact that we have observed for many years important climate changes as a result of our increased pollution and production of carbon dioxide. To address this important problem an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was created. However, even with all the cumulative research data of more than 1,000 panels of scientists, we are still not able to predict with precision, the actual changes in climate!…

    When watching the last video, “Chasing Ice,” I got to see more of an explore side of ice. With watching “America’s Ice Age” I get to see more of the scientific side of things. How scientist can look at ice with mysterious marks and see evidence of past floods, or how they can look at mysterious markings in rocks and see the movement and direction of a past iceberg is incredible. It makes you think what every day ordinary people like myself, overlook. I will say since I have started this class I look at the trees, the sky, and landscape of my own community differently. I constantly find myself thinking of the unbelievable way our world was formed. I might not completely and fully understand it all yet, but it is…

    The video Six Degrees Could Change the World by National Geographic personally had a significant impact on me. I knew that “global warming” was occurring as we speak and I knew that there were some dramatic effects from it.. I could not, however, even fathom how fast it was happening nor that some of the effects demonstrated were even possible. The amazon, ne of the wettest places on earth, could turn into an arid savanna.…

    The first reason is because global warming comes and goes. The earth naturally heats up and cools down. Thirty years ago we thought the biggest threat was global cooling and now the biggest threat is global warming. Through out history there has been numerous cooling and warming periods and we are now going though on of those natural warming periods. We also experienced a warming period during the Medieval Warm Period around 1100 AD when Vikings settled into Greenland because it used to be green and the perfect place to grow crops (1); grapes suitable for winemaking were also reported growing in England (2); and the tree line in Scandinavia was 100–200 m higher than present (3).…

    Global Warming has been an intriguing and worrisome subject amongst environmentalists, scientists and society alike, especially in the last few decades, but is global warming a topic to raise concern or just a normal phase in the nature climate cycles of Earth. In order to determine who or what is to blame for the recent change in the Earth’s climate, we must first review the findings of both sides. We must take into account the normal cycles of climate change that our planet cyclically goes through as well as the abnormal changes that have taken place since the industrial period when the impact on the climate could be attributed to humans.…
