  GJ - You should have watched the whole film before commenting. The film shows facts. Colly - The global climate increased .6 - .8 degrees F., in the last 100 years due to CO2 exhausts. This is fast considering the length of time needed for nature to increase global temperatures, such as with the Milankovitch cycles that take millennia. On million-year time scales, CO2 levels increase due to tectonic activity. Over the last 1000 years, sun spots and volcanic activity has influenced climate. Lastly, Christ did not create us no matter what you say.

  I can't watch anymore of this film. It is all over the place, instead of sticking to the thesis the narrator stated at the beginning. Atop that, it states several inaccuracies and uses anecdotal evidence instead of scientific facts. I do believe that mankind is largely responsible for our current climate change, but this film does not add to that understanding.

  Okay, yes it is a beautiful landscape. But if you go and check history you will see that there was an ice age way back when, or hey did we cause that too. I don't recall any electricity, vehicles, powered boats/ships and a way to get to the moon when all that happened. The enviroment is changing, slowly, not fast, as you would like for us to believe. Its always has, since Christ created it and us.

  What I saw in the film was a dynamic step toward a very prosperous future. True the old ways of self-sufficient living are disappearing. Would these changes take place reguardless of the climatic changes? I think they would. It seems to me that people everywhere want the goods and services of an industralized society and to get them they are more than willing to accept the accompanying social problems. The goal is maxamizing the positive aspects of development whole limiting the negative. Change is and will continue to take place in the high arctic the challange for the local elders is not stopping change because they cannot, but directing it in the most positive direction possible.

  I had to stop watching due to statement after statement that "there is no more ice due to global warming". The opinion as to why we are experiencing global warming is controversial and, from a statistical standpoint, impossible to determine. We need to stop burning fossil fuels -- no question1. It is not a renewable resource and when it's gone, it's gone. But, please do not sit there and tell me that burning fossil fuels is the reason we are experiencing global warming. You don't know that! Nobody knows that! There is tremendous controversy regarding this issue that, I don't think, will ever be resolved. We need to stop big oil from pumping petroleum out of the ground -- there is no doubt about that. Beyond that, let's deal with reality rather than theory. My changing my light bulbs to a mercury based CFL bulb is ridiculous. It was suggested in this film that part of the problem is the spread of mercury in the atmosphere; but, then the point is contradicted when it is suggested that we put more mercury into the atmosphere with these light bulbs! Well, good luck in your adventures.
