Subject: [PSCI-COM] Illegible mailing list inputs
Hi all,
A lot of the messages I receive on this mailing list are pretty
illegible as
they include computer formatting commands between the words. Does
something
similar happen to anyone else (I use Microsoft Outlook Office 2003 to
view
my mail)? If so, is there any way to remedy this?
I suggest in the short term than list-users continue adding URLs to
their
messages as this at least allows me to move to a linked (readable) site.
Also if anyone needs a skilled code-cracker then look no further, I've
become pretty adept over the last while :-)
Thanks and best wishes,

Yes, I've been following this thread with interest. As Mike says there
are
hundreds of science-related podcasts out there, but I think it would be
feasible to index the leading ones on the Psci-com web site
(http://psci-com.ac.uk). I've gathered together the ones mentioned in

arrange for a new section to be created (which will be added to, of

A similar 'resource' thread occurred on Psci-com a few months - that

Subject: Re: The pod thing (was RE: [PSCI-COM] Cybersurgery: robots in

I have just finished writing my dissertation on Science Podcasting (with
particular reference to the charity sector and the nascent Cancer
Research UK podcast). The main challenge as I see it is figuring out
the equation of money vs audience vs content vs quality, throwing the
extra factor of the quality/reach of your competitors as well.=20
Making a podcast is easy and cheap. Making a good podcast is hard, and
can be expensive (for example, you need good content, do you want music,
mixing, packages...). You can get round this by paying people to do it
for you - the RSPB do their podcast through Podcats (www.podcats.co.uk)
Making a consistently good podcast that people regularly listen to and
engage with is a real challenge. I am learning fast.
One of the interesting things that I turned up is that basically you
need to run a podcast pilot for several episodes. Don't just try one and
see how it goes. These things are generally slow on the pickup.

Hi Tammy,
There was an episode of Spooks recently which touched on the issue. The
government was trying to suppress a report on climate change and
environmental activists were trying to force it to release the report.
Ice Age 2 also managed to draw parallels with the current situation,
too!

Subject: Re: climate change programmes
Are they only considering telly for these "fictional representations"?
I've done a little research into futuristic children's literature, and
found climate change coming up again and again in recently published
texts. Julie Bertagna's Exodus is probably the clearest example, but
there are loads of other references to "flooded" worlds, etc (a book
called "Vampirates" probably the oddest one).
contact me off list if they want any stuff on children's lit and I'll
dig out my notes.

Hi all,
I have a student who is doing research on media coverage of climate
change. She is interested in
fictional representations of climate change - bar 'Day After Tomorrow' -
can any of you think any

From: Rachel Clarke <[log in to unmask]>
Subject: Re: climate change programmes
Some of these might be useful...
Soylent Green in 1973 was set in the year 2022, the film depicts a
dystopia, a Malthusian catastrophe that takes place because humanity has
failed to pursue sustainable development and has not halted population
growth. New York City's population is 40,000,000, with over half
unemployed. Global warming, air and water pollution have produced a
year-round heatwave and a thin yellow smog in the daytime. Food and fuel
resources are scarce because of animal and plant decimation, housing is
dilapidated and overcrowded, and widespread government-sponsored
euthanasia is encouraged as a means of reducing overpopulation.=20
And I think one of the Highlander films - Highlander II the Quickening
deals with the depletion of the Ozone layer. In 1995, the ozone hole had
been significantly expanded and covers most of planet Earth. In Africa
millions have died, due to the effects the unfiltered sunlight has had
on them.
Blade Runner explores the future implications of technology on the
environment and society by reaching into the past using literature,
religious symbolism, classical dramatic themes and film noir. A high
level of paranoia is present throughout the film with the visual
manifestation of corporate power, omnipresent police, probing lights,
and in the power over the individual represented particularly by genetic
programming of the replicants. Control over the environment is seen on a
large scale, hand in hand with the seeming absence of any natural life,
with artificial animals being created as a substitute for the extinct
originals. This oppressive backdrop clarifies why many people are going
to the off-world colonies, which clearly parallels the migration to the
Americas.=20
However, the film doesn't explain why natural life appears to have
disappeared but the gloominess of the film, for me, points to a gradual
environmental degradation and perhaps climate change.=20
The Fifth Element
We see in a brief shot of New York Harbour, that a lot of the water has
gone (the island containing the Statue of Liberty is now connected
directly to the mainland). Either there was extensive land reclamation,
or the surface of the ocean is considerably lower. There are, however,
still oceans left, as we can see the Earth from space in a few scenes.
However, pollution is so widespread that no one can walk or live
anywhere on the actual ground; this is seen in a police chase where
Korben Dallas flies his car down to ground level, where there is so much
smoke and fog that the police cannot see him and they drive their car
right past where he is hiding.
What about the related issue of lethal disease which might sometimes be
linked to climate change - i.e. The Andromeda Strain (1971), 12 Monkeys
(1995), and Outbreak (also 1995). I haven't watched these for a while so
I could be wrong.

Hi - I haven't watched it so I can't be sure, but doesn't 'Happy Feet'
involve melting ice caps? I recently read an article about its frosty
reception (every pun intended) by the American right, but, as is the way
of
these things, can no longer find it.

Some of these might be useful...<br><br>Soylent Green in 1973 was set in
the
year 2022, the film depicts a<br>dystopia, a Malthusian catastrophe that
takes place because humanity has<br>failed to pursue sustainable
development
and has not halted population
<br>growth. New York City's population is 40,000,000, with over
half<br>unemployed. Global warming, air and water pollution have
produced
a<br>year-round heatwave and a thin yellow smog in the daytime. Food and
fuel<br>resources are scarce because of animal and plant decimation,

government-sponsored<br>euthanasia is encouraged as a means of reducing
overpopulation.<br><br>And I think one of the Highlander films -
Highlander

A high<br>level of paranoia is present throughout the film with the
visual<br>manifestation of corporate power, omnipresent police, probing
lights,
<br>and in the power over the individual represented particularly by
genetic<br>programming of the replicants. Control over the environment
is
seen on a<br>large scale, hand in hand with the seeming absence of any
natural life,
<br>with artificial animals being created as a substitute for the

I've just remember another one - a US film called Solar Warriors from
1986 - starred Jason Patric and Jamie Gertz - set in a post-apocalypse
future in which most of the water has disappeared from the planet. A
group of children, mostly teenagers, are living at an orphanage run by
the despotic rulers of the new Earth. There was a lot of rollerblading
hockey in it and an alien entity of some sort, and the kids escaping by
*ahem* roller blading across the desert. Probably not a serious
contender for your paper!

Hello
There's a trashy 60s B-movie 'The Day the Earth Caught Fire' where
there's a hot summer, that gets hotter. Scientists realise that the
Earth is heading towards the Sun, there's anarchy in the UK (where
crazy, sweaty people with jugs of water start throwing wild, 60s
style beatnik parties, dragging their baths into the streets). I
remember there's a lot of sweating in it. And that in the final scene
[don't read the next para if you're already planning a night in to
watch it...]
The scientists decide to let off some nuclear bombs to put the Earth
back into its correct orbit. And it's a 60s film so they don't tell
you what happened. They just walk into the sweaty twilight, saying
something on the lines of 'I hope that worked'.
I'm into trashy old sci-fi and am embarrassed to say I ordered a copy
of The Day the Earth Caught Fire all the way from the US. It hasn't
aged well. But the Forbin Project - that's another story (don't get
me started).

PS Podcasting - I've been sticking things on YouTube. Does that count?

film depicts a<BR>dystopia, a Malthusian catastrophe that takes place
=
because humanity has<BR>failed to pursue sustainable development and has
=
not halted population <BR>growth. New York City's population is =
40,000,000, with over half<BR>unemployed. Global warming, air and =
water pollution have produced a<BR>year-round heatwave and a thin =
yellow smog in the daytime. Food and fuel<BR>resources are scarce =
because of animal and plant decimation, housing is <BR>dilapidated and
=
overcrowded, and widespread government-sponsored<BR>euthanasia is =
encouraged as a means of reducing overpopulation.<BR><BR>And I think =
one of the Highlander films - Highlander II the Quickening<BR>deals =
with the depletion of the Ozone layer. In 1995, the ozone hole had =
<BR>been significantly expanded and covers most of planet Earth. In =
Africa<BR>millions have died, due to the effects the unfiltered =
sunlight has had<BR>on them.<BR><BR>Blade Runner explores the future =
implications of technology on the <BR>environment and society by =
reaching into the past using literature,<BR>religious symbolism, =
classical dramatic themes and film noir. A high<BR>level of paranoia =
is present throughout the film with the visual<BR>manifestation of =
corporate power, omnipresent police, probing lights, <BR>and in the =
power over the individual represented particularly by =
genetic<BR>programming of the replicants. Control over the environment =
is seen on a<BR>large scale, hand in hand with the seeming absence of
=
any natural life, <BR>with artificial animals being created as a =
substitute for the extinct<BR>originals. This oppressive backdrop =
clarifies why many people are going<BR>to the off-world colonies, =
which clearly parallels the migration to the <BR>Americas.<BR>However,
=
the film doesn't explain why natural life appears to =
have<BR>disappeared but the gloominess of the film, for me, points to
=
a gradual<BR>environmental degradation and perhaps climate =
change.<BR><BR>The Fifth Element<BR>We see in a brief shot of New York
=
Harbour, that a lot of the water has<BR>gone (the island containing the
=
Statue of Liberty is now connected<BR>directly to the mainland). =
Either there was extensive land reclamation, <BR>or the surface of the
=
ocean is considerably lower. There are, however,<BR>still oceans left,
=
as we can see the Earth from space in a few scenes.<BR>However, =
pollution is so widespread that no one can walk or live<BR>anywhere on
=
the actual ground; this is seen in a police chase where <BR>Korben =
Dallas flies his car down to ground level, where there is so =
much<BR>smoke and fog that the police cannot see him and they drive =
their car<BR>right past where he is hiding.<BR><BR>What about the =
related issue of lethal disease which might sometimes be <BR>linked to
=
climate change - i.e. The Andromeda Strain (1971), 12 =

Hi all,
I have a student who is doing research on media coverage of climate
change.
She is interested in
fictional representations of climate change - bar 'Day After Tomorrow' -
can
any of you think any
other relevant television (UK only) programmes? We've been sitting here
a
while and can't think of
any.
Many thanks!

For a truly fictional account of climate change, how about the stuff
they
ran in The Sunday Telegraph recently? Written by someone called Lord

Hi Tammy,
There was an episode of Spooks recently which touched on the issue. The
government was trying to suppress a report on climate change and
environmental activists were trying to force it to release the report.
Ice Age 2 also managed to draw parallels with the current situation,
too!

There was a BBC drama last year - I think it was on what would happen if
we experienced a sudden dramatic heatwave in the UK, and it's effects on
people and services. It was quite interesting.
On the jokey side, there was an episode of Lois and Clark, the new
adventures of superman, where Lex Luthor raised the temperature of
Metropolis by pumping waste into an underground water system, and Tank
Girl is set in a world which no longer has any water, but I don't think
either really made any serious reference to climate change.

It may be a tad far fetched, but the film tank girl (loosely based on
the
comic) is set in a world where villains control the world's water
supplies
and tank girl has to put the world to rights. Not sure if the basis
behind
the film is that water is in short supply due to climate change or if
that
is even mentioned as I can't remember the whole film, but there could be
a
link???
I know you were after UK links... I think the film is US, but the comic
was
from the UK.

<div>It may be a tad far fetched, but the film tank girl (loosely
based
on the comic) is set in a world where villains control the world's water
supplies and tank girl has to put the world to rights. Not sure if the
basis
behind the film is that water is in short supply due to climate
change
or if that is even mentioned as I can't remember the whole film, but
there
could be a link???
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I know you were after UK links... I think the film is US, but the
comic
was from the UK.</div>
