Take one part condescending Hollywood liberal d==chebag. Who is somehow surprised California is suffering from a drought !! Mix one part condescending New York Times liberal d==chebag. Who never met a redistribution scheme he didn't like. Talk to some American farmers growing things we have no business growing (eg. almonds in the desert). Talk to some African nomads who are more interested in waging war on one another than actively working toward making better lives for themselves. Add some bleak photography. Layer on some scary talk about ''national security.'' Blame Western civilization for polluting the globe. Overlook how our exploitation of resources has led to the highest standard of living in Earth's history. Completely ignore how China's pollution makes us look like a continent full of Amish. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Ya got yourselves a Western Guilt series. Anyone who wants to see bleak photos mixed with honest, non-alarmist reporting check out Slate.com's series on the California drought from, if I recall, 2015. Surprisingly balanced and informative journalism for a left-wing propaganda rag.

A must-see series, but rather obviously aimed at a mass audience, comfortable in their well-insulated houses. Nevertheless, must-see! Arguments presented for and against the global-warming theory are trivial at best. Perhaps the most interesting part is wondering whether the journalists and "scientists" portrayed realize that the hypocrisy of their luxurious and obviously energy-intensive life-styles shown here is the very reason that ordinary people do not take them seriously.There is an excellent interview with President Obama which has totally countered my previous negative impression of him.

I don't know why people think that celebrities know anything. This series is just a big piece of political propaganda as preached by a bunch of people who didn't study past high school (if they even graduated). Not one piece of actual scientific evidence in this.Yes, the climate varies over years. Yes we should all do better at keeping our air and water clean, but when you think that the best thing for the planet is for people to die or quit living, then don't haul out a bunch of celebrities with a huge "carbon footprint" to prove to me that we should all just commit suicide so we don't impact the planet anymore. This crap is just so much hogwash.

We are often told that rich people are evil. This documentary proves otherwise. The rich people in the series have a heart of gold.Indeed. These super-rich people briefly left their mansions and glorious life styles to tell us that we really, really don't want to have their mansions and glorious life styles. The fate of the world is at stake. They flew around the world in private jets (the film crews flew coach, we hope) telling us to "cool it".You see, there are still parts on this blue planet where it is common for a 20-year-old mother to have seen two or three of her children die from diseases that are entirely preventable. Something as simple as access to electricity would do it (i.e. cheap energy with which to boil water). However, these super-rich people are telling her she cannot have an electric generator because, they say, 95% of scientists hypothesize it "could" harm the planet. And, shrug, the death of her children is the price to pay to save the planet from doom.According to the World Health Organization, I quote, "more 6 million children under the age of five died in 2012. More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions".The bottom line of the documentary? The children of the poor need to continue dying so that the children of the super-rich inherit a better world. And if it turns out that the fate of the world is not at stake, well, the children that have died are the children of the poor.
