What a great way to show the problems that animals are facing because of the climate changes that human pollution are causing, and John Cleese just makes it even better! Go John and go Monterey Bay Aquarium!
Rigel7, we’ll have to agree to disagree. Living exhibits are the most powerful tool we have to win hearts and minds for ocean conservation. It’s something we’ve documented in surveys of visitors’ attitudes toward conservation – and reinforced by a 2006 National Science Foundation study. We believe we’re improving the prospects for survival of all ocean life worldwide. That’s the only reason for a public aquarium to exist in the first place.
yes caroindan, "mother" earth does indeed go through changes in climate. good for you. these changes invariably, INVARIABLY take tens to hundreds of thousands of years to run their natural course. they do not occur in a time period of around 200. unless an asteroid hits a volcanic hotspot. exit stage left dino.
you add co2 to the carbon cycle thats been stored and formed over millions of years you get a warmer planet. real simplistic version. so 'certain' people can understand. knob
Nice message. Too bad it was delivered by an organization who believes it's perfectly ok to profit from the abduction, imprisonment, and forced servitude of nature's beautiful sea creatures.
These animals belong in the ocean, living their natural lives and evolving along with their kind, not rotting away in entertainment concentration camps.
There are better causes out there John. I hope you donate the money you made to a charity who cares for mistreated animals.
Uh...no. What we do or don't do doesn't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to affecting mother earth. Small actions make no difference. The earth cycles through different climates changes, period. It is so pompous of certain humans to think that we 'cause' any of it.
I love this. Unfortunately the film does not depict Darwinian "evolution" which arises from variations resulting reproduction and mutation. The film depicts Lamarkian evolution which is change arising from need.
Constructive advice: 1) add an annotation and link to the end of the video so people can easily visit the website; 2) stop avoiding the fact that without bold political leadership (motivated by grassroots electoral pressure) the individual steps indicated by the options in the video will be enough to solve the climate crisis. I would expect more from both the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Free Range Studios.
@berryhed: what "message" is the question? Climate change is inevitable - regardless if we ride our bikes or choose plastic over paper over plastic. Truth is, most kids don't even play outside anymore - they play xBox and play on the computer.

@ejury Yes that's true. We were trying to show the sad impossibility of such change for animals. But the hope is that HUMANS can adapt in this way.
