Maurice strong is a fucking eugenicist pile of crap. along with all the other dirt bags on this "preview". anyone who knows ANYTHING about solar dynamics and celestial physics know that storms, tides, earthquakes, temperature, WEATHER, tsunamis, are caused by solar cycles, lunar cycles, and coronal activity. people that support global warming are so ignorant, or evil, i want to throw up.

I'd like mainstream media to show documentaries which give fair and balanced treatment to the costs and gains of communism vs socialism vs capitalism, instead of this conservative-controlled media giving nothing but biased propaganda that capitalism will save the world and make the world a libertarian-capitalist utopia. What a bullshit fantasy.

The anthropogenic global warming (AGW) deniers bitch and complain about this half-assed cap-and-trade idea. But, when you tell them what REALLY needs to be done: outlaw human reproduction, meat (breeding animals for food), nuclear power (wastes more energy than you get - look at evacuees in Fukushima), go solar and wind power only, outlaw gas-powered vehicles - then these hypocritical free-market religionists go beserk.

Yeah right! I like how they show the big corporations that pollute, but what the dumb sheep population that agrees with this SCAM is that the little guy will be pummeled with new taxes.  Don't you get it? Politicians around the world are all in agreement to this! Since when have politicians cared about the little guy or the world? When Trillions in earnings are at stake! WAKE THE _UCK up and stop falling for their SCAMS! This documentary sucks!

My brother is in this documentary!

That "low carbon" (sic) = "green" is like a sick joke, when it's actually "high carbon dioxide = green."

There is no proof that CO2 causes warming, and for that matter warming would certainly be preferable to cooling. The notion of trading indulgences for "CO2 pollution" takes absurdity to new levels.

At least Maurice Strong appears in this shitty film to show his true colors as an enemy of humanity. The Chinese should lock his ass up or put him to work in a Laogai facility.

Saved the world from plant food?

People cannot possibly "save the world," only save humanity from itself.

Carbon people. Carbon. It's what plants breath, it's what we're made of.

Pollution; chemical run off, spillage and simply dumping of toxins and poisons into our water supply. That's what has to be stopped!

Thank goodness that the hacked emails have exposed the greed that drives this co opted movement.

[TheTruthHurtsYou]

It would be refreshing to see the CBC actually do a documentary on the scientists that dispute the theory of global warming along with the recently leaked thousands of emails from the so-called expert scientists that shows the same data submitted to the United nations was manipulated and exhagerated.

Gloabal warming is be the biggest hoax in history.
