Terra em Chamas

For me the climate change deniers ... I don't get them. Well I do "get" the politicians who probably are being paid by certain industrial people to still hold on to the "past". Now I can't prove that, so I reckon I have to say allegedly. You make of this what you want ... I would like to believe that most would come to the same conclusion as myself.

The documentary isn't just saying or showing us the wildfires ... very devastating ones at that. No it shows the connection between the dry land and the fires and climate change. Now you may go and doubt that - right? But ask yourself one important question: What do you lose if you go Green energy? I'm serious about this and I will elaborate.

So people want to switch to renewable energy. This will create a lot of new jobs. Yes some workers will have to rearrange, but that will happen sooner or later anyway. So you are just doing what is inevitable. You are just very likely saving the planet for future generations to come with it.

Because if the climate change "thing" is wrong, what is the worst thing that happens with the Green Energy switch? You created a new branch of jobs that will happen anyway - once the energy sources used nowadays will go extinct. But what if they are right? Which is the more logical conclusion, supported by many scientists ... we will have a clear conscious and even live better ... no matter how long that is (years wise).

A shame that the PM of Australia seems to be in the pocket of some very powerful people - allegedly. Or he is plain refusing to see what is happening right in front of him. Something that even Americans chimed in on ... and they (mostly Republicans) have no idea whatsoever what they are or were talking about.

So let's hope the activists finally come through ... and that the PM will either change his tune ... or will be replaced by someone who is aware of his surroundings ... there is no need for another fire like this ...

This film was very well done in that it brought to light the truth on many questions I was asking about the whole ordeal of Australia being on fire the summer before this one. It was very informative and I appreciate that at least for once the truth was shown about a political figure (Morrison) instead of the documentary being flooded by positive propaganda on his behalf.

My two main issues with this film are 1- virtually no Indigenous Australians are shown (apart from a vacuous blanket statement made on their behalf-not by them- along with some happy propaganda in the film's opening, and an author's perspective in the last five minutes of the film). What was their perspective on the incident and what did they have to say? I suppose we'll never know. Not this time, anyway.

Secondly and lastly, I was absolutely appalled and disgusted when Daisy Jeffrey stated that climate change is {paraphrase} "the biggest catastrophe that has ever faced humanity." That comment was ignorant and quite narcissistic in itself- has Daisy never heard of colonization and scum like Leopold II of Belgium? It's individuals like that and those mentalities that decimated the Indigenous landscapes of the world, and have led us to this disparate place in which we find ourselves now. She should educate herself before making such crass, inconsiderate blanket statements, or she or her cause risk never being taken seriously by true activists and activism efforts.

I am not claiming climate change is a HOAX.

However, this documentary seems somewhat politically motivated.

I rather had a documentary with more facts than complaints against a certain administration.

As an Australian who lives in Victoria, it was an absolutely devastating event that will scar our countries history forever. I learnt things from the documentary that were very eye opening.

I am not an overly political person but it seemed like a bit of a cheap shot at times on Scott Morrison and his team. The greens need to take some ownership of this catastrophe for not allowing controlled burns to clean up the scrub so that it is not so dense. These was no mention of this at all.

I expected to see a documentary more focused on the fires rather than protests and backlash against the prime minister. Both parties have failed in looking after climate change.

I found it a scary yet interesting documentary, the scientists interviewed were reliable sources and I found it excellent overall. Definitely one to watch. Those poor animals burnt in the fire and poor people who lost everything due to the climate change denying politicians in govt. (Scott Morrison). I hope this makes people think about the way they vote.
