DiCaprio's 'Before The Flood' a wake-up call on climate change: director
By Lin Taylor
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Turning a blind eye to climate change will come at a price the world can no longer afford to pay, the director of a documentary produced by Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio said on Monday.
"We can no longer turn a blind eye to the issue of climate change. We are at a crucial moment where if we don't act now, we will forever pay the price," Fisher Stevens said in a statement.
"My hope is that this film provides a global wakeup call about our inevitable fate should we fail to act."
The film follows environmental activist DiCaprio and Stevens as they travel from Canada's oil sands to tiny Pacific islands, interviewing world leaders such as the Catholic Church's Pope Francis and U.S. President Barack Obama, climate scientists and academics.
DiCaprio's interview subjects discuss and document the negative impacts of industrialisation and increasing consumption on the health of the planet.
"The fact that we are still debating any of this is just utter insanity to me," DiCaprio told the audience after the film's world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.
Oscar-winning DiCaprio said he rushed to release his upcoming climate change documentary ahead of November's U.S. presidential elections to issue a clarion call to American voters in time to influence their decisions.
"We cannot afford, at this critical moment in time, to have leaders in office that do not believe in the modern science of climate change," DiCaprio said.
On Friday, U.N. officials said at least 20 countries had indicated they would join the Paris climate change agreement at a United Nations event on Sept. 21.
To take effect, the Paris climate agreement needs ratification by at least 55 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, representing at least 55 percent of global emissions.
"Before the Flood" will premiere in Europe at the BFI London Film Festival on Oct. 15 and airs on National Geographic Channel globally on Oct. 30.

Signs of Money Phobia by Evelyn
Do you have money phobia, and hence prefer to avoid any talk on finance or money management altogether? Studies indicate that women, especially, display avoidance behavior.
With a phobia, the fear is excessive. For instance, you can have a fear of killer sharks. However, your fear can be so great that it manifests as a phobia, should you avoid swimming altogether.
Money phobic women tend to have confused ideas about finance. They prefer to leave all the money talk to their spouse or partner. They are likely to react in ways that do not best serve their financial well-being. They may also show up with erratic behaviour; such as going through periods of raking up huge credit card bills and then periods whereby they hoard excessively. The erratic behaviour probably stems from having little awareness of how much they have in the bank and an inability to manage their emotions tied to finance.
10 Signs of Money Phobia
1. Avoid situations whereby money is tied as an issue.
2. Actively divert any serious talk about money and finances to shoes and shopping.
3. View any mention of large sums of money as unreal.
4. Find taking any form of financial planning or action a bore.
5. Experience anxiety whenever your credit card statement arrives.
6. Glazing your eyes over the finance section of the newspaper or even any legal agreement that involves money and financial liabilities.
7. Do not keep a close watch on spending.
8. Do not know exactly how much you earn.
9. Leaves your spouse or partner to handle every financial aspect that affects you and turning a blind eye.
10. Do not have a clear financial vision.
Consequences of Money Phobia
Continued avoidance of financial matters can have negative consequences. For one, it is possible to be challenged by a dramatic life event that forces you to take responsibility. This can happen in a divorce, death, loss of a job and so on.
