A good 30 minute doc in two hours. June 7, 2008
Very well done, great animation. But don't worry about missing anything, the points and the animation are seen over and over and over. It teaches well, it is very important information, everyone should see it. But after the first thirty minutes it is like watching paint dry. Alec Baldwin is an outstanding narrator and should do more like this, at time he sounds much like Frank Sesno of CNN.

This program a well edited and visually well executed. It makes for good entertainment. The points made in the film are speculation and not solid science, but this is understandable as the film is based on a book authored by Mark Lynas, who has a formal education in history and politics. His interpretation of statistical climate models is simplistic at best as would be to the lay person.
Overall good viewing to be had if your not a skeptic and uninterested in an unbiased and objective discussion on climate change.
informative but questionable February 15, 2008

I think a break down of the ratings speak for themselve a bit.
One person put a 1 because they found it offensive(perhaps they don't like the idea of spending money to find an alternative to dumping their company's waste in the river.)
The other person put a 5 (perhaps they bought everything this propa-documentary said and hate selfish people that are too profit motivated or believe everything the powers that be try to sell them.)
Well I thought it was informative. But I also noticed some things that attempted to manipulated the viewers thoughts and opinions, like showing the nuclear plant's exhaust while talking about carbon dioxide and fossil fuels. That exhaust is water vapor from cooling towers, not smoke plumes.
Same with the catasrophic weather and katrina. Yes it was a catasrophic storm, but a lot of the suffering in N.O. was partly to blame on gross negligence of the powers that be.
I did notice it had high production values. Which is also what annoyed me with the manipulative information. If you are going to invest that much time and money into a film why do you have to shape the truth? Can't we ever get documentaries that are only moderately biased so that we can decide for ourselves? These films just fall on deaf ears to some and make others look like tin foil hat wearers. Integrity was compromised.
I still learned a lot however.
 Very good film about an important topic. February 14, 2008

I needed to put in a review to counteract the previous "Bush supporter" review. I'm not sure if his IQ is breaks double digits, so I would disregard it. I saw this show on National Geographic HD and it was very well produced and informative. It basically shows how the world would be affected by a 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 degree rise in temperature. I would recommend this to those of us that care about our surroundings.
By the way, socialism isn't bad. Look up the word in the dictionary.
