Climate Change Gets Prime Spot At Wednesday’s Democratic Convention

"PHILADELPHIA ― Climate change will get a star-studded, prime-time spot at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday with a short film from James Cameron and Maria Wilhelm.

The five-and-half-minute film includes a number of celebrities ― Jack Black, America Ferrera and Don Cheadle ― as well as the voice of Hillary Clinton and footage of former President George H.W. Bush and the pope.

Drawn from Cameron’s Showtime television series “Years of Living Dangerously,” the film starts with a dark outlook on the current challenges of climate change: droughts, severe storms, floods, wild fires and record heat waves."
