I'm dissapointed it isn't highlighted in the NTB. This film needs to be seen by 1 and all. Trailer here: http://www.climatecrisis.net
The number of Category 4 and 5 hurricanes has almost doubled in the last 30 years.
Malaria has spread to higher altitudes in places like the Colombian Andes, 7,000 feet above sea level.
The flow of ice from glaciers in Greenland has more than doubled over the past decade.
At least 279 species of plants and animals are already responding to global warming, moving closer to the poles.
If the warming continues, we can expect catastrophic consequences.Deaths from global warming will double in just 25 years -- to 300,000 people a year.
Global sea levels could rise by more than 20 feet with the loss of shelf ice in Greenland and
Antarctica, devastating coastal areas worldwide.
Heat waves will be more frequent and more intense.
Droughts and wildfires will occur more often.
The Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2050.
More than a million species worldwide could be driven to extinction by 2050.

so those smog clouds that hang over every major city on the globe are good for the people then?
kids born with autism rates are up
kids born with asthma rates are up
mercury in the water is up
up and above the whole global warming argument, pollution needs to be put in check.
Makes me think of the smoking bans in bars and restaurants. If pollutants made your clothes smell bad, people would be changing laws in every city in america.

It is a wild ass time when people almost are defending pollution.

it's a big problem and major countries are too busy putting money and resources into warfare and side stepping major changes to industry instead of distaster relief and productive change...if the us military wasn't fucking up iraq new orleans wouldn't have been such a distaster...and those hurricanes will only get worse

I heard on NPR the movie is his Powerpoint Presentation he used for his Presidential platform with music and video clips added. I will still see it though.

nothing can be done about global warming now that china and india are set for major booms

it's not nessesarilly about stopping global warming but a lot can be done interms of cooperative use anddevelopment of new technologies and nessesary opening up of political and industrial boundries that have been built...they could have introduced the hybrid in the 60s but gas and oil was too profitable in the long run, ideally those sorts of choices and oppresive tackics won't be an option if there's a evident and inevitable distaster looming

first the internet and now pollution, is there anything this guy isn't involved with?

it's called electric/hydrogen cars. I never understood why the old hippies from the 70s/80s were all worked up over nuclear power. tools

The people in power only care about their own immediate future, and since they're all rich they don't even have to worry about their kid's futures (already bought and paid for).

moral business practices? slavery / fair trade? those fuckers don't get so damn rich by being perfect social advocates.

i hope this movie is being shown across the globe as china and india are #2 and #3 worst polluters in the world.
or is this just another anti united states film showing how fat and lazy we all are?
