How to Let Go of the World: and Love All the Things Climate Can't Change

I've saw Josh's "GasLand" and it was really inspiring, this one however had something more. It showed me, at least, that giving up to despair it's not an option. Yes, the situation is dire...it's catastrophic ..it's how you want to say it,but it's not an excuse to stop doing something, you have so manny people who are fighting for their land...for their forests ...for their HOMES, and didn't stop and some actually won, why would you stop when they fought such a hard battle and you are staying and watching it from your comfortable sofa ? This films gives you...an impulse to keep going, keep the fight on, for a better world, for a better future.

Especially liked the closing credits song. Worth watching for sure, brings up a variety of informative happenings in recent history worth taking notice of.

Whether you believe in Climate change theory or not, good emotional views from people all over the world that otherwise would not have a voice. Watch and see and make draw your own conclusions. The ideas are not new but presented in a new and interesting and factual way. Quite relevant since there are many recent events weather related that effect the immediate environment. Especially with the new political climate in tow.

I have been a fan of his style since Gasland. I had no idea where this would take me. It is an emotional journey told in many locations. It helps give a world view of the problems we face. Anyone calling this fake or bashing Josh Fox clearly has no sense of the enormity of the problem. It is good as an introduction to expanding environmental concerns, but also good for someone who knows quite a bit, but either wants to learn more through different angles or global beauty and alarm. My most admired activists are in it, plus very new ones adding their own view and work from around the globe. I love that Josh "interjects" himself. It is like you are on this journey with a friend. There is beauty, danger, fear, calm, pain, tragedy, and dancing. All interwoven with facts. It is the kind of journey where you appreciate a friend.

I don't understand the hostile reviews about this very powerful documentary or the guy who made it. There is nothing fake about it, as it takes us on a world journey demonstrating the devastating impact that climate change IS HAVING on the planet. The people are real people and the 97% of scientists who have evaluated the data, the facts, concur that the earth's climate is warming at an unprecedented rate but that it is man-made. NASA has published its own statement on this crucial topic and has made a list of all the scientific societies and government agencies that concur with this irrefutable position: "Scientific evidence for warming of the climate system is unequivocal." - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change See: http://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ People are hostile to this position, not because they have studied the facts, but because they are attached to a way of life driven by corporations (oil industry, meat and dairy industry, consumption) that they selfishly refuse to give up. In the face of the data, it is hard not to lose hope, but this documentary shows that hope remains alive!

It's a nicely joined documentary illustrating the recent and not-so-recent progress of global warming and tying it convincingly to carbon emissions.

But it's a sad program too, because the people most in need of this information are the least likely to watch a program like this. Somehow the notion of anthropogenic global warming has been politicized. It shouldn't ever have become a "liberal" position because it's no more partisan than the solar system or Ebola or the Black Plague.

It's sad too because I'm tempted to argue in favor of recognizing AGW, as almost all respectable scientific organizations have, including the American Meteorological Association. I visited the Columbia Ice Fields in Canada as a child in 1953 and again in 1988, and the edge of this miniglacier had retreated the length of about two football fields in that period. It's irritating to feel that an observation like that still needs to be brought up.

It's sad too that America in general is so far behind the curve on the acceptance of scientific evidence, that we seem to be shackled to a faith-based and political perspective. AGW isn't such a critical problem elsewhere, as nations finally bind together in an attempt to dampen the effect.

Nope. The ultimate problem has to do with psychology, not atmospheric physics. How can anyone deny AGW and natural selection, yet believe that inoculations lead to mental retardation? Finding the psychological solution would ease the way for the solution to the atmospheric problem.
