The Human Element: A New Vision of Nature

People are a force of nature. We alter earth, air, water and fire, which in turn causes those elements to push back and change the terms of our own lives. This feedback cycle is the most important environmental issue of our time. James Balog reveals these issues in a captivating multimedia presentation, providing a fresh look at the human impact of California wildfires, melting glaciers, sea level rise, hurricanes and altered air while celebrating the amazing beauty of the world.
