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

We went to see this documentary in our town this week during its tour and found that the content is motivating. We saw that we must make a commitment to speak out to our government representatives and become a community of people that are willing and able to fight oil and gas industries which have no conscience. This documentary made me get up and dance in tribute to the earth. The documentary tells us that green solutions are attainable; our nation has all the technology to do. This documentary helps us to see we are not alone in the fight against gas, oil, and fracked-gas infrastructure that we do not want or need, that those industries do not care that they are causing our planet great harm, and that we need to unite our nation toward going green. The documentary is long but worth the time spent watching it.

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!

Is there really a guy out there who is so arrogant, so conceited, so self absorbed, and so redundant like this sentence? Yes there is. Josh is not a leader, he never has been. In fact, there are so many great people around the world that are leaders fighting for the environment and humanity that are not self-absorbed. This is a lesson Josh must still learn he's still an infant in the world of great humanity. I couldn't stand watching the film because of his creepy low droning, non-sensical voice. If you want a spoiler, I can't give you one, other than you're going to be bored out of your mind listening to the self promotions and lack of environmental coherency.

My hat is off, and salute every real activist out there who has been on the ground who has suffered, who still suffers, and who are still fighting for everyone and not just themselves.

And the title of this film should be given an award for the "dumbest film title of the year."

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.

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.
