On the Front Lines of an Angry Planet, with George Kourounis
November 08, 2017
He has chased hurricanes and tornadoes and explored some of the most remote and ecologically sensitive places on Earth, like Antarctica and the Greenland ice cap. He frequently finds himself up close to the world’s most fearsome forces: vicious tornadoes, the eyes of hurricanes, and inside erupting volcanoes.
His international TV smash, Angry Planet, has put him on the front lines of climate change for years where he has witnessed firsthand the effects of our changing environment.
Come learn from George Kourounis' unique experience seeing the direct impacts of climate change around the world.
George Kourounis films a wildfire and at Papandayan.
You might wonder what is really going on with climate change? Are we to blame or is this due to some other, naturally occurring phenomena?
These questions and more will be covered as George Kourounis pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth about climate change in a dynamic, engaging way. This will be a rich multimedia presentation showcasing some of his most poignant and sometimes terrifying encounters with the fury of nature—including standing at ground zero during hurricane Katrina.
His observations and experience give this “Master of Disaster” a unique perspective on how we got into this situation in the first place, what the average person can do to make a difference, and what we can expect the consequences of inaction to be in the near, and distant future.
