I actually made it through the entire program of Earth 2100.  It was just as I expected, an emotional doomsday scenario based on the delusions of the Global Warming Chicken Little crowd.  Bad science, beginning to end.

Expect to see more of this type of propaganda as the government prepares to muscle through the draconian climate agenda.

If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

Just have to keep pushing back.  I think AGW has had big setbacks in it's public rollout.  We can stymie this because as the economy gets worse, people will not have the time for western guilt and collectivism.  They are going to get very self interested, and very attentive about every tax they have to pay.  These neo-Marxist movements really only thrive when capitalism is thriving.  They need a parasite to feed off.

If you find something evil that wobbles, push it. - Gary North

Good work.  It is difficult to hear lie after lie and boring drum of crisis for over an hour and still remain mostly sane.

I have not watched any speaches or listened to debates on politics as I simply can't stand them.

I saw this the other day. It is shameless propaganda, full of exaggerations and lies. I am sad that there are people who take it seriously. The scariest part of the film was its outlined solution. As one enviro-fascist put it (paraphrasing), "What we need is government cooperation like in World War II. Back then, Roosevelt told everyone to work for the war effort, and they obeyed. To solve this crisis, the government is going to have to make strict demands once again."

There is now a new propaganda film, called "Home" that was recently released on Youtube. It was slightly better than this one due to its excellent aerial footage of the earth (how many gas guzzling helicopters did it take to get it?), but nevertheless quite awful. And yet it is loved by tens of thousands who watch it.
