welcome to a world without people
Film depicts Earth after extinction of humanity
By Jasper Hamill

I think this sounds really interesting - something I might even watch - if I had a telly!
IT'S THE end of our world and feral domestic pets stalk the deserted cities of Scotland. Holyrood lies in ruins and the Clyde has burst its banks....
....The point of the film, to be broadcast next weekend, is to stimulate discussion of the environment without a preachy, doom-laden tone, said Alan Weisman, who wrote the book that first imagined Earth free of mankind: The World Without Us.
"The future is seductive. People always want to know what will happen and I thought this would be a good way of removing the fear factor from reading environmental stuff," said Weisman.
Life Without People airs on The History Channel, Sunday March 23, 9pm
