Stegner Center for Land, Resources and the Environment & KUED7.
TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE offers a wealth of chilling evidence that the greenhouse effect is steadily worsening and the Earth is warming faster than at any other time in history. This is more than just a sobering preview of what will happen over the next century if unbridled consumption of fossil fuels continues, it also explores creative and potentially lucrative energy options that can lead to a better quality of life and increased prosperity in the future. Encouraging viewers to think outside the barrel, the film's experts give viewers an extended look at the innovative ways Americans can reduce global warming and literally change the world with Earth-friendly options. TOO HOT NOT TO HANDLE travels across America to meet ordinary (and not so ordinary) citizens who are already using creative approaches to cut down on petroleum consumption. We can make a difference.
