1.Roland Emmerich - Biography : born in Stuttgart -Study of films in Munich in Founded his own production company -First Hollywood picture: Universal Soldier (1992), earned $36 million His films -Director of six successful films: The Day After Tomorrow 2004 The Patriot 2000 Godzilla 1998 Independence Day 1995 Universal Soldier 1992 Joey 1985 His Political position -He is a supporter of the pro- environment German Green Party -Emmerich criticises the Bush administration’s environmental policies

2. About the movie -“The Day After Tomorrow” can be seen as a Emmerich’s masterpiece -In this film he criticises the environmental policy of the USA, especially of G. Bush -Emmerich put up resistance against the traditional Hollywood-film with patriotism and a happy end -Based on real environmental problems but still a missing scientific background

3. General reactions to the Film -The film caused a general talk about global warming -More articles about climate change debates wer published -Positive resonance of the audience especially in the USA -Problem: trivialisation of a serious theme for commercial reasons

4. Hollywood and politics a)The film as a political influence -The film-production is the most powerful media in the USA -Emmerich hopes to influence the peoples’ decision for the next election of the president -Film is transferred to current political issues -On the other hand the discussion about the topic will not last for ever -Some U.S. critics and anti-environmentalists lable the movie “propaganda movie” -A lot of political reaction on the film ‘The Day After Tomorrow’ Politicians (of the Bush administration) warned to watch the film -Still only a blockbuster with the aim to earn money!! -Has less effect, not enough to influence the politics in greater extent

4. Hollywood and politics -Many people in hollywood are more liberal than conservative -Democratic Party is their favorite one (with some exceptions) -  Absolute majority of Hollywood-actors support Democratic Party b) Actors and directors as political influence

5. The Kyoto protocol and the USA a)What is it? -Amendment to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) -International treaty due to the global warming -Aim: Lower overall emissions from the main greenhouse gases -A total of 141 countries have ratified the agreement (61% of emissions of greenhouse gases) -Treaty’s implementation in February By ratifying this protocol they commit to reduce their collective emissions of greenhouse gases by 5,2 % compared to the year 1990

5. The Kyoto protocol and the USA b) Position of the USA towards the Kyoto protocol -The Protocol was signed under Clinton (only symbolical act)-but not ratified -Argumentation of Bush: He said, he wont ratify the Protocol during his presidential period, because he would not do anything that harmed the US economy. -USA will only join for a long-term environmental goal with all countries included -USA produces the biggest amount of greenhouse gases and should be an example by accepting this treaty -In fact the big oil, gas and coal lobby, which was the biggest donator in his election campain, is behind Bush. -Other projects in the USA to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 

USAChinaEUTotal World population:4.6%21%6.3%31.9% World economy:30%3.2%23%56.2% CO 2 emissions:24%13%14%51%

6. The Environmental agenda of the Bush administration -Bush environmental policy: rollback policy -“Clear Skies” and “Climate Leader” programs  only propaganda and changing of the Kyoto subject. -EPA (Environmental Protection Agency): One of the few partly effective institutions in the USA -EPA employs people across the USA
