This is what was said about Paul Brown's book:

The document is a cover of a book. This book was published by the newspaper, The Guardian, which is a quality paper in the UK. The title is "Global warning", the last chance for change; It is a pun with global warming. We can deduce the book is certainly about environmental issues. The cover of the book is a black and white photograph that shows a lonely man pushing his bike in the water. The place is flooded and the scene takes place during a hurricane or a tornado. The cover is rather pessimistic and alarmist; We understand that the author will speak about the attitude men must have if they want to live in a better world.

This is what was said about the video we saw:
The video we saw was also about global warming. It showed a man whose house has shrunk. In fact, it's getting smaller and smaller and he couldn't live in it any longer. The last image showed a polar bear in danger on an ice block , drifting(flotter à la dérive) on the sea. Then, we could read: Global warming, when you feel it, it's already too late. In this commercial the film maker wants to inform people about the danger of climate change, making a parallel between certain animal species in danger and human beings. Soon human beings will have to face the same problems.
