 If this doesn't get your attention, nothing will... March 14, 2008

Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" got all the hype and awards. The History Channel's "A Global Warning?" only gets the Joe Friday award - "Just the facts, ma'am, just the facts."
If you want to understand why global warming is real and why we need to address the issue now, this is your documentary. It is substance, substance, substance. No grandstanding, no histrionics, no tear-jerking moments. Just a carefully made and compellingly presented factual case for global warming and the possible/probable outcomes from failing to address it.
This is what I thought I was going to get with "An Inconvenient Truth", which is riddled with Al Gore self-aggrandizement and self-pity.
If you want to watch an Al Gore 'feel good' show, get "An Inconvenient Truth". If you want to understand the scientific case for global warming, this is the real deal.
Fabulous historical look at climate change January 28, 2008

I recorded this program when it first aired back in November. I just took the time to watch it and it was well worth the time (I'd buy it, if needed). Though I'm an avid lay reader on the subject of climate science, this show exposed me to several very interesting past climate events I'd not previously heard about. And they presented the best explanations science has for them.
Sometimes science shows on the History channel aren't as accurate as those on the Science channel. But this show was scientifically accurate (I caught 1 very minor misstatement) and well presented.
 A Very In-depth look at the Issue January 16, 2008

The documentary A Global Warning? (History Channel) provides a very thorough look at the issues of climate change in every sense. Shown on the History Channel in November of 2007, it spoke on all the issues of climate change in scientific and practical terms from ice caps stretching across the northern hemisphere to frozen fields of methane underwater. Every natural occurrence of global warming and cooling throughout the history of Earth is explained and all the possible changes to come man-made and natural are illuminated. Even possible solutions to the problem are explained in-depth (and almost makes you sick that we still drive gas-guzzlers and use fossil fuel power plants).
The only downside to having this much information is having this much information. If you want to know the truth about the issue without and bias or politics getting in the way, this is the way to learn it.
