If you like conspiracy theories like the fake moon landings, 9/11 inside jobs, Elvis's death, then this is the documentary(?) for you. Almost every climate disinformation found on the web is 'copy and pasted' into this hour-long programme. And for bonus points, the programme takes the extra step of doctoring graphs and skipping relevant information to bolster its case. Take the case of the 'cosmic ray theory'... hmmm... stop the graph in 1980s... why... showing the rest would put a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in that claim; then there's the blatantly false 'volcanoes produce more CO2 than humans'claim, which was quickly removed after the first edition; or the CO2 lagging crock peddled on the denial websites... The rest I'm not even going to bother because I don't think there are enough gigabytes on the IMDb servers.This travesty is narrated by Martin Durkin, a producer with a history of releasing refutable documentaries, featuring an entire host of questionable characters like Tim Ball, credential fudging professor of the Climatology Department at the University of Winnipeg. Only problem is, Ball was a professor of geography and there was never a climatology department at the University of Winnipeg; Piers Corbyn, who ran a weather predicting service that was so successful it went bankrupt; Fred Singer,a physicist who will say anything for a small fee. About the only characters worth their salt were Carl Wunsch and Eigil Friis- Christensen, both of whom lodged a complaint about this programme.But for extra laughs, the programme claims climate science is cooked up by scientists for funding purposes and it is a greenie scam to hamper African development, except that wouldn't be so funny because the people who are going to suffer most from a changing climate are those in the Third World. If this was a documentary and if it was serious about doing an expose, Durkin could have done an investigation into the millions of dollars spent by the Koch brothers and Exxon just on climate disinformation.I'd give this programme negative rating if IMDb would allow it but as it is, I gave it one star for its comedy value. Watch it but bear in mind, there is no scientific value in this, just a mish mesh of incoherent conspiracies and factual inaccuracies.
... View MoreI've been doing a lot of research on this matter. And even though more facts affirm global warming, this documentary was refreshing to me because I always appreciate different perspectives.My main point: It is a wrong idea that environmentalists are evil. I personally, don't care much if the earth is warming or cooling as these are long term effects. I'm more concerned about the present - I do want a clean earth and preservation of ecosystems for aesthetic and practical reasons. So global warming or not, it's the pollution I'm worried about which is irrefutable and overly apparent. Now I'm an engineer and a nature friendly guy. It's a wrong idea that we're against development. I do want development but I just want technology that doesn't pollute. Such technology is development and progression itself.Secondly the anti-Africa theory is apparently a valid point. But also it should be understood that there might not be any conspiracy at all. Maybe an underdeveloped Africa would just be a consequence if exploitation of oil and gas was to be stopped completely; but that doesn't necessarily mean that preventing development in Africa is a motive to the people behind this supposed global warming propaganda.
... View MoreI really enjoyed watching this movie. It woke me up to the consequences of global warming. Being from Alaska, I have seen first hand the effects of global warming. I have witnessed glaciers calve off in monumental proportions.In fact, I found a similar movie that shows more global warming footage of calving glaciers. Huge chunks of ice breaking off into the ocean! You can find this film called "Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience" on Film Baby. If you loved this movie, you will sure love Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience. Watch the glaciers disappear before your eyes and show your friends and family what is really going on in Alaska.
... View MoreIt's about time someone blew the whistle on global warming. There is no data to prove that global warming is true and never have been. It is comical that the only reason global warming ever came about was because england needed to find an alternative power source so that the coal miners could never strike and disrupt englands power supply.It is stupid how much money we spend on global warming each year, BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars on something that has no proof. Is the world getting warmer, seems to me its getting colder each year not warmer, No proof has ever existed that the earth is getting warmer OR that global warming is the reason. YOU CANNOT prove global warming is caused by humans and not just a natural occurrence of the earth.This movie is great and although the billions of dollars will never be put into hospitals and much other needed research but we can only hope.
