Protecting the Climate: Why Science and protests are failing
Can the climate still be saved? Neither the warnings from climate researchers nor public protests have prompted sufficient action from politicians and big business interests. Why? This question is the subject of this film.
One factor is the sluggish political action of governments in almost every country in the world. This can often be traced to large fossil fuel companies, which have prevented the implementation of effective environmental and climate protection measures, fearing for their profit margins.
"Fridays for Future” and "The Last Generation” want to see an immediate change of course. But, in large parts of society, they tend to provoke anger, which can serve to increase society‘s lack of understanding. Have there ever been successful forms of protest? Perhaps other approaches are needed to convince people.
Ultimately, however, each individual person -- and their human brain - may be at the root of the problem. Why? Solving complex problems in the long term is not the human brain’s strong point.
In this documentary, numerous voices from the world of science weigh in, analyzing the ‘climate protection problem’ from different perspectives. The film shows which hurdles still need to be overcome -- economic and political, as well as very human ones - and how science can help.

Envisioning A Livable Future
Envisioning a Livable Future is an online, serial conference marking the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s encyclical Laudato Si’: On Care for Our Common Home. This groundbreaking document called climate change “one of the principal challenges facing humanity in our day,” proposed an analysis of “the human roots of the ecological crisis,” and advanced a new ecological vision for the challenges ahead.
The conference seeks to inspire lively interdisciplinary dialogues aimed at:
Raising ecological consciousness,
Drawing attention to climate-forward initiatives, and
Encouraging both personal discernment and social action.
Following the four spring 2025 events, fall 2025 events will address investment and finance for a greener future, the promise and perils of technology, and the role of the arts.
The 4 Spring Events take place on-line from 3:30 to 4:45 Pacific time:
Wed. Jan. 29: The Current State of Climate Science
Mon. Feb. 17: The Contribution of Catholic Social Thought
Tues. Mar. 11: The Political Economy of Climate Change
Wed. Apr. 9: Environmental Politics
