A little more and we will be having the front row seat to our own destruction as most "advanced" civilization has come...

This part of the film really made me very sad. I've been to places like this. Pure clean and simple pieces of paradise are sadly the ones to pay for bigger countries selfish advances.

these arn't disasters we should worry about - aint anyone heard of the second law of thermodynamics? - the heat death of the universe - now THAT is something to worry about

[MrKeljor]

I find it strange how so many people find ways of putting blame on things that occur naturally without the aid of human beings or sociaty. The world's climate has changed many times in the past, from hot to cold and to hot again. Who's to say that global warming is not simply another one of these cycles and that our governments are just distracting us with these issue to prevent us commenting on other issue's.

great videos, thanks for upload

the world is not set out to cope with so many people, the more people there is, the more land is needed to house them, the worlds plantation is Disappearing, and its the plants that soak up the rains, the problem will only get far worst. governments cant keep on taking away, if they dont intend to put back. easy solution, more child birth control ie less children, less families = less homes too house them = less plantation to be destroyed.

@davidhaythornthwaite u should read some more cuz ur kinda wrong bout that, yes, it has to do with global warming, but it's not like u say it man !!!

[davidhaythornthwaite]

@aldairfer i noticed you say i am kinda wrong, but theres still a chance i am right

[aldairfer]

@davidhaythornthwaite somehow ur right, ur comment is just so out of place, it might suit here but it would be one of the last things to take into account !!!

[pete5668]

@davidhaythornthwaite if you think there are too many people on this earth, then maybe you should make your exit, if that is what you truly think. Otherwise, what solution do you propose?

[WeekendVigilante2]

thought it'll be more interesting but it's just more global warming propaganda...

[AcolyteOfDeath]

@WeekendVigilante2 Propaganda? How can you call it Propaganda, when it clearly shows real, current effects of global warming?

[WeekendVigilante2]

@AcolyteOfDeath I can as well find as many real, current effects of global cooling, starting with last winter, being the coldest one in my area in my entire lifetime. Cherry picking of worldwide events doesn't prove any theory, it's clearly a propaganda.

[AcolyteOfDeath]

@WeekendVigilante2 It's a common error to mistake any single seasonal or daily deviation from the norm with a global climatic trend, especially given any single locality. While it may have been an unusually cold winter in your area, this does not disprove global warming, nor prove global cooling. Climatology, as I learned it at the university, is based on long-term trends (>30 years), and the long-term trends and signs indicate steady global warming.

[WeekendVigilante2]

@AcolyteOfDeath Funny you mention it, global warming alarmists don't bother using single localised events to "prove" their theory. I personally know many people from university, one of them being a proffesor of climatology for over twenty years, who made their own research and the results stated otherwise. Clearly the science isn't settled on this one.

[AcolyteOfDeath]

@WeekendVigilante2 Can you tell me this person's name, research or publications? I'd like to see them.

Either way, the science is quite solid on this one. The National Academy of Sciences, World Meteorological Organization, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science are all in agreement that climate change is real and it is human-caused. Looking through the scientific literature of the last ten to fifteen years shows no doubt as to the reality of global warming or its cause.

@AcolyteOfDeath "How can you call it Propaganda,"

Read the Wikipedia entry for Tuvalu. You'll find that New Zealand did NOT take any climate refuges and Australia did NOT refuse to take Tuvalu migrants. The producers of this, so called, documentary have lied.

[josiptumapa]

@austdata WIKIPEDIA...?! THATS YOUR INFORMATION SOURCE?! Oh my goodness.

We Have To Start Working On Giving Back To The Planet Some Of What It Has Given Us

[garyjohnrobertson]

Very informative. It makes you wonder how much more we can do before this planet just gives up on us. Cheers for uploading!
