Hurricane Katrina New Orleans
I was very involved in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. We're never going to make the world of 50 or 500 years ago exist the way it did but there's something we can rescue. There are continuities ecologically and human culture in place that we can protect by making healthy transitions. I talked to the climate scientist Jacqueline Gill at the outset of the film and she said two really powerful things to me. This is not a pass fail test and 1.5 is not a cliff we're going to fall off. But like the Cajun Navy even when the city was 80% underwater even when people had already died they knew there was something worth doing.
