thank you showtime for uploading. i hope you continue to upload episodes because not everyone has access to your channel and the show speaks about very important issues.
I will say this, as powerful as it was, I've never been a fan of having celebrities do the endorsing of a specific thing. However, I understand that half the reason is because even though this was introduced in the 80's in scientific circles and eventually the public through news, nobody even blinked. It came from politicians and famous people in some regards so the effect becomes more of a popular appeal.
However, that presentation does not mean AGW is not happening, it just means the exposure methods dictate how the message is passed around. Good job on doing up a good vehicle for a positive message and I look forward to future episodes (I don't have cable TV and heard about this on our NPR station)
BTW , I lived in Phuket ,Thailand and the fires from Indonesia have created terrible smelling air in that area when it drifts into SE ASIA. Also ,reports that the Indonesia fires burning have endangered people breathing the air in Singapore
It is very well done and we are honored to be part of the Years Project team to show peatland forests are important to be saved.
Definitely a wake-up call. Fascinating learning. I don't have Showtime, but gonna get it to watch. The destruction we're doing is mind-blowing. Makes me sad, angry & most of all inspired & motivated to do my part by making changes added to changes I have been making. There's so much going on in my mind from the realization of the danger our planet's in already & from watching this, from questions to solutions, etc., I can't put into words. But I enjoyed watching this & thank u for letting us view it for free. Can't wait to see more. :-)
Fabulous documentary touching on subjects that need to be addressed- religion, war, politics and how they impact our decisions we make about climate. Wonder why no one has suggested planting trees in Texas?
I am about to turn 21 years old, and I am terrified of what future I may be going into with the way this climate change is taking us. But by watching this film, It was an eye-opener. This needs to be released in theaters so that people can get the awareness for it.
A theater release requires money. A youtube release is free. Instead, we can host community events/parties so that friends/family/community members can see it.
Thank you to all the talented individuals who worked to bring this project to life.... I believe it will help many North Americans still in the dark on the human impacts of climate change come to a better understanding of what's at stake if we continue along the path of inaction.
Thank you!!!
Inspiring. One of my math professors (whose research is in Math-Physics) has began to encompass more mapping theory to shed light on how topics like CO2, weather, and global-warming are linked together. Very cool!
This is what happens when you place profits above all else. People die, people lose livelihoods, quality of life changes, habitats get destroyed, species are annihilated.
We knew this was coming. We're still not doing enough.
If you're speaking of carbon, quality of life has drastically increased as a result of its release. We all profited.
Matthew Miller
Quality of whose life? Are you telling us that there was no other way to have a better quality of life for some than to begin the slow process of poisoning our planet?
Robin Bird That's exactly what I'm telling you
Matthew Miller the trick to trolling is to be subtle about it.
In a nutshell! Succinctly put Ryan! I am doing my little bit but still feel powerless.
I'm so glad I watched this. It taught me so much. Can't wait for the next episode!
I work with 140+ climate scientists. Very, very impressed with this. I hope it gets seen far and wide.
I'm glad to see this subject of climate change is gaining some traction again… I lose a lot of sleep over this.
***** Damnit! thnx - lemme fix that - good thing I don't need good writing skills to make Flying videos :P
***** that was some loose interpretation of spelling words.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep...there's not a lot you can do about it.
googleisshittoss if everyone feels this way, then we are really screwed. Do you have kids? My daughter is turning 5, and seeing the world she'll be facing causes me stress regardless of how little I can or can not do about it.
***** People always have to have something to worry about. 30 years ago, it was Nuclear War...before that WW2..Before that WW1..We can all do our 'bit'..but, if the Planet is Changing (which it does)... walking to the Shops rather than driving, and recycling a few plastic Bottles wont do anything. Sorry, but thats just how it seems to me
Thank you for raising awareness on Palm Oil!!!!!! So glad to see this!
Nice! Smart! Hollywood celebrities and respected journalists! It gives it a real movie-like effect, so people will keep watching (hopefully)
I love how it links the consequence of climate change to existing dangers (like civil wars) - it makes it personal. That's very important. Make it personal on an everyday-person level, then they'll realise the importance of stopping and reversing climate change.
I love how this movie is so thought provoking. I wish more people would watch this and be moved.
Go Harrison Ford !!! Even as an aware ecologist, seeing how well made this film was (to say nothing of watching Harrison Ford take on Indonesian PM) is truly inspirational. I was also very pleased to see solutions in the film (rethinking palm oil for example). Keep up the Good Work!
Half way through an animal ecology degree and the more I learn, the more I understand and the more horrified I am about what we are doing to this planet. My wonderful tutors, research scientists have mountains of scientific evidence and brilliant solutions to bring damaged ecosystems and species back from the brink. Yet the powers that be are corrupted by vested interests and lack the political will to implement change. How maddeningly frustrating it must be for scientists! So tragic that Homo sapiens so fatally flawed by our own greed will ultimately cause the demise of our own species.
This needs more exposure.
FANTASTIC!!!
great show. Looking forward to a better worldwide consciousness
It's amazing how many governments and peoples remain impassive and we reached these levels. What's worse is that there are technolgies that could help our adaptation to the consequences of climate change and in turn improve the climate future; but it is difficult to convince public and private investment in these new energy options.
We need take action very fast and change our way of life for one more sustainable.
#sustainability #climatechange #watercrisis
This is so inspiring! We have to change something! Thank you so much for doing this, this is just gorgeous!!!!
Thank you for making these show available to a wider audience. There is more at stake than just rating....
Many, highly educated people I know freely admit this reality is just more than they can handle. They function by excluding these issues from their consciousness. Their default position is to wait until they're overtaken by events and hope for the best. Consider it a form of Andean fatalism.
I only wish that climate change was the only existential threat we're facing but it's not. It is compounded by over-population, over-consumption and our obsessive addiction to exponential growth.
There were under 3-billion when I was born. Now we're at 7+ heading to 9-billion or more. At the same time our individual ecological footprint is growing, especially as China, India, Brazil and other emerging economies generate their own 'consumer class'. We are already consuming Earth's resources at 1.5 times the planet's replenishment rate and we're increasing that imbalance rapidly. This manifests in several ways, some visible to the naked eye from space: deforestation, desertification, the collapse of global fisheries, the draining of our aquifers and the accumulation of pollution of our soil, air and waters at rates exceeding the environment's capacity to cleanse our resources.
This is a candle burning brightly from both ends and yet we keep insisting on finding ways to speed up the burning. Growth is the answer to everything.
Good luck.
"Planet earth is blue and there's nothing I can do..."
"Space Oddity" -David Bowie
I'm a published scientist in this field. And I think we're fucked.
So true people feel powerless and do not realize as that as consumers we actually have the power to demand changes. But first we need to organize and come together on issues which is difficult when we are exposed to propaganda and mixed messages in mainstream media.
6 years later...there is always something taking our eye off teh ball as well. this year it's Covid 19. So...that's been a positive slowdown in the burn but it really helps us forget about the biggest threat.
Great episode! Take away never use palm oil again!
BEST PART (26:00): "Wow... That's a lot of cars." - Harrison Ford
but seriously, awesome series. thanks for making it free Showtime!
Congratulations for such a good TV Show!
This is what we need, information and content about what its happening!
We all need to fight against ignorance and indifference!
We can't wait only for the government, we need to act!!!!!!!
Excellent start to a promising series. I'll be keeping up with this.
It's really sad thing, we made this, we are going to the ending day, what I can do is change myself. I can't stop this, I just can stop myself from sin.
What are you talking about?
I really hope this is the beginning of wonderful change !! Such a scary thing to know what we are doing to our beautiful world, and what we are going to leave for our kids and grand kids....hope this opens up many eyes
YOUR WORK IS REALLY AMAZING, I HOPE IT CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PEOPLE SHOULD THINK ABOUT ALL THIS. CONGRATS FOR YOUR WORK

Ok that's cool
Years of Living Dangerously Where can I find the whole interview with Obama?
Years of Living Dangerously This is just just embarrassing. This is the reason no one takes climate change seriously. Stuff like this.
A) you can't just irresponsibly link climate change to local weather. That is not real science.
B) you can't just lie to your audience about what climate science can say and then expect them to not be skeptical of climate change.
+Benjamin Cliff I came here because Katharine Hayhoe endorsed this series as a good way of showing people how climate change already affecting us today. I have not seen it yet, but I just wanted to let you know, in case you care for truth.
I don't know if this is where I ask you if you know that there's a 97% scientific consensus, or whether you reject climate science because it conflicts with your personal worldview/ideology.
Neither. The documentary is not an accurate understanding of climate change that current consensus reflects . It detracts from the real supported science on the topic.
This idea that if you have legitimate critiques science you must be opposed to it: is a reversal of what science is.
More directly science is all about challenging ideas with legitimate critiques. Science is in this sense an evolution to consensus.
But my case is much less 'radical'. I am saying this documentary does not accurately reflect things that climate scientists have consensus on.
Great
Thanks Arnold.
Nice video #yearsoflivingdangerously
Amazing! At least we have the Terminator on our side!
It's up to us to do something about that. Not just for us, but for our Children, Grandchildren and every life on the Planet.
***** Funny how the people who think this is a scam know nothing about interpreting temperatures....
This need's to be brought to the UK! :) really want to watch the next episode's, spread the message x
Its great how celebrities are involved. its what drew me into watching this.
So if this deforesting can be directly related to the climate change, which means the droughts and then the wars, wouldnt it be considered a human rights violation?
I am trying to show people this video and also talk about how other effects of ecological imbalances we're causing are violating human rights. Hoping that if people don't care much about owls or fish or coral then they might at least care about climate refugees...
@@colleenwilliams1689 unless it directly effects them, I doubt it. And its sad
Stop buying products with palm oil if you want to take away the market for this insane deforestation in e.g. Indonesia. Just look at the packets and never buy stuff that says palm oil or vegetable oil (in which case its definitely palm oil, but the manufacturer is trying to conceal that it is).
***** Exactly. It is a serious problem for working families. Either the palm oil industry magically self-regulates itself, or the consumer takes on the burden of finding an alternative. Think of how much fun economists are having with our dilemma? What about the rich who profit from the palm oil industry. Who are they?
Fabulous. Scientists, videographers, writers, on-screen talent, network producers and editors serve up the whole lesson in a palatable, digestible form. Can't we make this required viewing or air it in simulcast as networks do a presidential state-of-the-union address? Thank you, Showtime.
Thank goodness we have some big names pulling for this to stop, and bringing this all to light!!! This fascinates me so much, I wish I was smart/educated enough or rich enough to study and help change something.
Oh God, the interlacing!
Have you seen our Series Premiere? If not, watch it here and catch up on Years of Living Dangerously Episodes 1-4 this weekend on Showtime's FREE Preview: www.sho.com/sho/free-preview/1
#Showtime #YEARSProject
Hope some people will traduce it in french !
The world need to watch it, that's nice that famous actors get involved in such an important project! Good job :D
But I'm also waiting for Avatar 2 =p
i'm apparently an idiot...because nomatter how i try to download the free showtime it just says i live in the wrong geographic area...but i got to see a few more clips than before, so i just wait for the dvd
To bad it's outside of my 'geographical area'.. Sigh.
To bad... I can't watch it from Brazil =/
I was only able to catch one episode, I had a free preview of Showtime last weekend and I recorded an episode, I really enjoyed the show, lots of information.
I have enjoyed this very informative program, it never ceases to amaze me that so many people think of themselves as both Christian and Republican, to me, the two are irreconcilable. This program shows how much all people lie to themselves, and to each other, because, meat eating is also another thing that contribute to climate change, yet no one mentioned it. We all need to change our lifestyles, even if it seems like shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted.
Thank you very much for this well-made documentary. It is the best thing that i've ever watched. I have no idea that Climate Change had a live-changing and tremendous impact on our lives. Our lives that is happening NOW. From episode to episode it brings me to tears and depressed me. We do ZERO act on that matter and we will pay our ignorance in a priceless amount. It is both painful and hopeless. I REALLY urge everyone to watch it and truly understand this matter. I am a Muslim and God gives me this live, i feel like a complete useless sinner for what i've done to our earth.
Religion, Political View, Nationality IS NOT the problem. Sadly, the problem is us, the arrogant species.
Climate change is REAL. It is happening and maybe, just maybe, it is happening in our lifetime.
Invest in ourselves. Learn, Understand and try to find something to do about it. May the Grace of The Most Merciful, The Most Gracious embrace us all.
P Simatupang Please share on your social media, so others can learn too.
Maybe now finally people will open their eyes to what should have been done years ago.
***** you're telling me. You people refuse to acknowledge the doomsday scenarios that were supposed to happen but didnt..

You are getting your information from misinformed people. Try going to the actual source, learn to read a scientific paper, do your own research (and by that I mean RESEARCH, I don't mean reading some webpages put together by politicians backed by oil companies).
Han Solo wants a few words with the Indonesian forestry minister
Borneo isn't one of Indonesia's islands. Only slightly more than half :D
Md Hadi Shafie Othman
not slightly, it 3/4 of Borneo is indonesian's
tyowongndeso just over 63% so not reaching 75% :D
At the rate we Indonesians are destroying the forests there be nothing left of Borneo anyway.
Krishna Zulkarnain even if we (in Brunei) kept 80% of our forest (that's the target iirc - and I think we're at 85%) it's still small compared to the rest of Borneo, so I hope that stuff changes in Kalimantan. So much more can be done with the rainforest than just burning. Imagine all the potential for medicine, vaccines, and other applications all gone once a company comes in and burns it all.
This is a shocker that everyone should see. It's a real eye opener and I wish that every person in Congress was forced to see it..
Intense, real, necessary! I am a part of the whole and must partake in the responsibility to repair what WE, mankind, have begun to destroy. I love planet earth.
Great vid that attempts to decouple the politics of this.
The context now is that we put 3.05-ppm of CO2 into the air last year a new record, long-term average for the Pleistocene is 1-ppm/1000-years, end of the last glacial during warming 1-ppm/170-190 years, sea-level rose 3mm last year both of these showing exponential gains.
So what does that mean when it takes 50-70 years for a change to be noticed?
This is due to us being on a water planet with a massive biology that interacts with CO2-O2 balance and these processes take time, normally humans should never notice a changing climate, it does happen as ice-ages come and go..
We are committed to 25m/82ft of sea-level rise at 405-ppm CO2, consider that sea-level continues to rise for many years after a rising CO2 turns around and drops, with only one group having brought up limiting CO2 to 350-ppm and that's way too high we need 280-ppm or below.
That's reality for the planet, 280-ppm is the correct amount of CO2 proven over time, nothing else is viable long-term. For religious people that's the value God picked for Eden's climate, ok?
For transportation biofuel grow algae from seceondary sewage effluent at your local treatment plant for more biodiesel than all fuels burned daily per person in the USA if done nationally.
Install solar-thermal collection-storage as part of all building heating-cooling systems, the solar-thermal can be used for refrigeration as well and this is to recognize most energy used is for heating-cooling not electricity.
So all these predictions of needing mass "energy" are really from using Steam Age methods instead of modernizing.
Palm oil is a cash racket and has nothing to do with sustainable agriculture, just sayin' ...
So true and some great solutions!
Amazing to watch this, and see the interconnected problems. Also good to see Harrison Ford!
Thank you!!!!
The tragedy is that the people that need to pay attention to a video like this the most, are the ones that won't allow themselves to watch it
--- or to imagine anything outside of the faith-based bubble.
Not all people of the faith are like that luckily
@@leorobin832 Yeah, sadly it appears few people actually grow up, instead they get trapped within their little bubbles and anything outside of that bubble threatened them to no end and invites unhinged retaliation upon any one that tries.
@@citizenschallengeYT I think the reason they get trapped sometimes is because how hostile people can be about you thinking differently. This causes people to really guard themselves against the opposing side so they don't want to listen to them. This is 1 because they are against them and 2 they could be lying. When it comes to politics you never know who to trust and you have to be careful who you listen to cause the media lies a lot.
@@leorobin832 How about making honesty towards physical reality the highest standard? Unfortunately most have been taught that their EGO and Faith is the most important thing in creation. They encourage people to reject physical reality ad they encourage people to respond enraged to any questing of their faith.
Also most harmful of all is many many of those people have elevated their own EGO to GOD status. Rejection the human wisdom that GOD is beyond human understanding and that the best petty humans can do is SHADOWPLAYS.
That is not saying "God" does not exist - it's stating the obvious: GOD IS BEYOND HUMAN UNDERSTANDING !!!
Accepting was poor word choice, should have been "considering" confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2020/02/accepting-fundamental-cosmic-truth.html
confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2018/12/the-missing-key-gould.html
@@citizenschallengeYT not all churches preach to reject reality luckily. Mine doesn't but some churches just don't talk about it tho. They need to do that Kathrine is doing. She has the right idea that understanding science is understanding things about God. And yes people do need to accept the truth but sometimes it's hard for a multitude of reasons like politics were you don't know what the truth is. People really need to try to be more open on all sides that way we don't attack each other over differences. And God is totally beyond our understanding so people really need to be more open for that reason.
when I see anything with Palm Oil in the ingredients, it goes back on the shelf
Me too
❤
Sadly for me palm oil is like god to the people here where it is grown we cant say anything bad for it. Die to its "economic gains"
Its useless. Because they control everything. All foods have some amount of palm oil even FREAKING ICECREAM
greatest series on television, no doubt. Shame on anyone with knowledge who turns a blind eye.
And to think I didn't even notice such a problem when I travelled to Borneo and through Indonesia. This was an eye opener! Time to get involved.
WATCH NOW: Episode 1, live on RUclips #YEARSProject
So well done! Thank you. .Can't wait for episode 2.
this is just incredibly sad and upsetting..and what can we do...?
Tothne Zsuzsanna Wake up your neighbors.
Expose the next denialist that comes your way… and the one after that...
Tothne Zsuzsanna educate yourself on the topic as much as your time permits. speak to people that are more knowledgeable in the matter and whom you trust. then speak to people in your vicinity. if possible in your region, switch to carbon-neutral energy resources. don't fly long distance if not necessary. offset the carbon you can't avoid using websites such as en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TerraPass . But it's always better to avoid than to offset. But above all: be happy. being scared or sad helps nobody.
How can I see the episode with spanish subtitles??? I really want to see it!!!!
HAN SOLO NARRATING A FILM THAT THE TERMINATOR POSTED ON HIS FACEBOOK?! OH MY GOD THE AWESOMENESS!
thanks for sharing!
This is an excellent show! Hats off to all involved.
Can't wait to see Indi face-off with Indonesia's Forestry Minister ...
What is important to you ? What do we agree on. What is wrong with the world ? How can we come together ? Will we come together ? Organized crime is ORGANIZED ! Can WE The People get Organized ?
i only commented on this video so i have easier access to it later, if it's still there.
My question also Kevin! how can we come together as concerned global citizens? I do my little bit with screening the ingredients in all the products I purchase. I've adopted a plant based diet. I sign online petitions but still I feel powerless. We are fighting against the incredible power and corruption of corporate interests to who pay off authorities, governments and scientists then spread misinformation in mainstream media. So difficult to overcome that. An immense challenge. We need more numbers to come together. How? We need intelligent altruistic charismatic leaders to unite people.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: WATCH our first episode featuring Don Cheadle, Harrison Ford & Thomas Friedman #YEARSproject #TBT #ThrowbackThursday
still in tivo
Just watched with a group of coworkers and we really enjoyed it. We're all Christians, and it's so refreshing to see Hollywood taking Christians seriously, and Christians taking creation care seriously! Amen for the good work Dr. Hayhoe is doing!
I think it's disturbing that these Texan Christians would only believe the facts about climate if they're being said by someone who isn't "liberal". If something's true it doesn't matter who is saying it - or it shouldn't, at least. Do you have anything to say about this?
Brilliant documentary. I saw "An Inconvenient Truth", and also
"The 11th Hour" - also very important films. I've been aware of climate change since the '70's, along with James Lovelock's GAIA Hypothesis. I was saddened on many, many levels, including hearing this woman, who lost her job, say that "she had never heard of climate change" before she heard the climatologist speak. That is really shocking to me.
Don't worry, the free market will correct all the problem in time. haha
Wait!
Aren't all these things happening because of the profit motive without regulations?
Free market.
Protected by tax payer bailouts ?
@@allgoo1990
Corporate welfare or SOCIALISM 😮
Rugged capitalism for everyone else.
I still have the feeling they're talking about the problem & not doing what's necessary to solve it... >.> Not everything possible that is... >.>
Your intuition is correct. There is a disconnect between the science and creation of policy. The concerns of state politics, economics, international relations, and security have a larger voice than climate policy. The concerns of state politics, economics, international relations, and security have a larger monetary budget.
Doing what is necessary will not be possible until the above mentioned priorities become altered within states. States have an understandable resistance to rapid alteration of priorities. The great tragedy is that states can only prepare to respond/react to calamities because they do not have the ability to prevent them. No state is sharing a real plan to prevent [continued] climate change because no one has a plan.
We have a need for states to be agents of change that respond/act to prevent calamities [climate change events]. We do not have this capability. The citizens are burdened with the responsibility, and the risk of action. That is the reality of our situation. It is absurd how unprepared we are, and it is absurd we do not have large scale capability to prevent continued climate change.
Truly, these are dangerous times.
Chris Mclean Nevermind the dangerous times... We know what the problem is - we know the cause of the problem & hence we should act... I don't like this 'making things public' idea soo much, because most people aren't smart or realize that things - 'the system' - don't have to remain as is & can\must be changed... Plus I see them talking but not doing what I believe should be done in order to fix things... I would not go to the Governor(was that what he said? =]) - I would get my head of state to go to their head of state about it etc... I honestly KNOW that we no longer need gasoline etc engines(I see car manufacturers talk about new efficient\hybrid engines & I know they're full of it, because I know they could go straight electric but are holding back because of what not needing gas would mean to economies etc)& I'm sure with the correct data can figure out ways to sort out our 'needs' which leads to deforestation(& even maybe how to deal with the green house gases) - but the MONEY system HAS to no longer be BEFORE we can make things better... & not after seeing this video - I feel bad about what mankind is doing to itself, for the sake of MONEY... In the end I say - mankind's system, way of thinking, values etc needs an update(to 1.1 or what have you)...
I agree, but scientists are often told not to say what to do with this knowledge, and leave that in the hands of politicians. Well there is a major problem when e.g. the USA has 50% of the politicians not believing there is a problem in the first place. Other than that the IPCC report actually contains 3 documents, the last installment soon to be released will be for policymakers about ways to solve these problems.
Marvin Connell OK. Lets see if I understand you correctly? You are advocating for what is called a "top-down" approach to policy creation by having the head of state initiate policy changes. You also advocate for changing economic policy.
Lets talk about how that works. I use the United States as an example of a state. The US, like all states [nations] that I am aware of, are beholden to the "power," and "security" of economic "interests." This means the business policy of powerful multi-national corporations [of which, most have interlocking boards of directors to navigate their business policy]. The interconnectedness of corporations is a very interesting development if you consider that, in the US, a company has legally protected rights equivalent to those of a citizen. Furthermore, in the US, our Courts upheld the ability of wealthy donors to buy votes [political support], in mass quantity for elected officials.
When it is possible to "buy" and "lobby" elected officials to promote your business interests, how then can a divided electorate compete [they cannot]? If we assume the political "power" in the US is with corporate business interests why would poor citizens bother organizing to enact climate policy change that will not be politically supported?
Should multi-national corporations have the responsibility to alter the politics of a state to create climate change policy? I do believe they hold most of the political "options." How do we proceed when greed is the currency of politics? Certainly, our values and social systems are inadequate to function with climate change. Do we have time to change social systems? What if we cannot agree on those changes? Then we are left with compromises and altered greed based systems with some irrational hope that we will survive? Will that be good enough for future generations?
Chris Mclean Firstly - none of the political aspects matter to me... I am not talking politics - I am talking about saving our World... I acknowledge there is a serious problem that needs solving & I am willing to take the necessary steps to solve it - whole heartedly, unlike most people... I acknowledge that the gasoline(etc), palm tree etc businesses are the main source of our problem, that we should & can put a stop to their use, & the only reason we don't stop consumption is mainly because of our dependency on the money system... & being the person I am, I think we should just do what is necessary... I don't want to discuss what we have time to change - WE MUST\NEED TO CHANGE(it's not an option) - I want to start making changes(present my ideas & have them reviewed & implemented accordingly)... About me - I don't use cold medicine like 'normal' people... From my knowledge in school I began consuming vitamin C about 3 times a day since 2005 & hence average .625 colds a year(some years, No Colds... Instead of doing what everyone else does - what I was taught to do - I came up with my own idea & it works... That is what mankind needs - not to continue doing what we were taught to do, but to change how we think & operate so as to obtain better results... Chris - I am an idea man... I observe, I assess, I come up with ideas, solutions etc... I cant & wont talk politics with you - especially since it doesn't matter to me or on the whole... All that matters is our World's survival... We should be willing to do whatever it takes for that to happen & we Must Start, by changing what hinders us most, & that is our Money system... That is the main reason why nothing is TRULY being done about global warming...
This is very important... time for all us to work together to make a change instead of ignoring the reality and pretending it isn't going to get worse.
Excellent! Can't wait to see more!
If you care, look up what animal agriculture does to our planet
Riveting. Stories that need to be told. Finally.
Just two months ago, Riau, a province in Indonesia known for it rich palm oil plantation, were covered with yellow smoke. Schools closed for weeks and hospital filled with patients with severe breathing sickness. The smokes came from people burning old field to replant new palm trees. Government? They are too busy with coming election. I hope this series will helps to change things.
Would it help to organize and discuss the smoke pollution in schools, hospitals, and community centers? When people realize everyone has a shared experience there is an opportunity to direct that human energy into action. Hopefully, people in Indonesia can also see that people buying the palm oil are concerned. It is possible to share the experience of the people in Indonesia with the concerned consumers of palm oil. We have to start talking.
Human activity has eroded our human creativity,
To conserve and preserve this earth...Njoroge.
Loved the show...
Reality is: humans are going to have to cut WAY BACK on their meat consumption. I have a hard time feeling bad about a meatpacking plant shutting down. Go veggie.
***** Self-sufficiency requires the basic need of water.
or...we could stop trying to feed the whole world, and quit giving medical/food/monetary aid to the third world to fuel their unsustainable population explosion. good luck feeding 9 billion people with veggies
how`s possible that in that place is no work but so many churches?
Brave attempt to get the public's attention on this horrendously complex problem. The cast is quite strong. I'll watch every episode.
Really good effort to make the people aware of the consequence of Climate change
Those celebrities should be the last to talk about climate change.
Don't play with your airplane, Harrison Ford, and then say "Oooh, the temperature is rising from human behavior".
You guys lived your lives to the fullest.
The average fisherman from Indonesia is the one at stake.
You have no right to act ideal till you give up most of your current lifestyle.
I laugh when I see them act shocked. I guess it's the new trend. When famous, love your planet.
+Abdullah Alsanea Yeah, I felt it was presented in an odd way as well. But the rich people also live on this planet, and will also face the consequences of our actions eventually. The main difference, is that they have the option to only feel it later. So let's not judge them too harshly, right? At least they're doing something. And it's something that needs to be done.
+Abdullah Alsanea I think your indignation is misplaced. Any attempts to dumb down climate change for the masses shouldn't be mocked... it almost seems like your making the argument that you aren't ready to make sacrifices if they aren't... which is a pretty bullshit attitude and absolutely beside the point. Climate change is real regardless of whomever taking head they use to stress the point.
+Abdullah Alsanea dude one airplane is not gonna make a difference. don't be sour like that. celebs may have all these stuff, but ad least there trying to do something, are u doing anything to help???? NO i don't think so.
And when the CO2 levels go up and the temp stays the same?. .... It doesn't matter how many predictions fail to come true we continue the scare campaign. They told us here in Australia that our drought was the new normal and we wouldn't have rain again. The next 2 years we had massive floods and large floods the 3rd year. We didn't build dams (no rain) based on these same scientists advice and built desalination plants at massive billions cost. Because of the floods these desal plants sit idle (except WA), unused and not required. Rusting. Storms and bushfires are lower today in the US and Aust than they were decades ago. This propaganda is released because they are loosing the war in science. Facts have a way of winning through. And the same scientist predicting sea level rise bought property (like Al Gore) at sea level. And did these celebrities consider any other learned opinions? Why has Prof. Judith Curry changed her mind? Certainly wasn't a great career choice. Of course climate change is real. just a strawman argument.
and what energy company is paying your mortgage? The temps in Australia have been record highs - a new "norm" is being established. The rains are regional - most of the country is under severe draught unseen before. As for wild fires - seriously? LESS?! We moved from AZ because after having lived there nearly a decade the last few years were plagued by fires most of the year. Any scientists working on GCC say: you can't pick one area and make a definitive statement. Its the world overall that is getting hotter - some areas WILL get more rainfall.... others will get drier and drier.
Gary Myers What's your point about my mortgage? What have energy Co's to do with it? (Or is that an intended slur?) 1. It's Global warming, not Australian. Record cold in US, Britain, Europe. So what? No one argues it's not warmer today that is was 2 or 3 decades ago but here in Perth we have not reached temp high from 1977 (if I remember correctly). Unlike my childhood (70's) where 40-44 were not uncommon (and I think the 45 or was it 47 I saw in the records) it struggles to make it over 40 these days. Truth is global temp has been stable for around 17 years. If you climb a mountain to land on a plateau, if you walk 100 metres inland, you will be at the highest ever for the last 100 steps. Doesn't mean it's still going up. (ie. it's spin). When the BOM put out that we had max temp. not one capital or major city had it's max temp. Bit suss and they won't release how they worked it out. As for wild fires!! When mad green environmentalists prevent clearing or backburning and when more people are moving to bush settings (and the young kids who like starting fires) you have an 'environment' (sic) more prone to bush fires that gain attention or damage property and even life. However there is no evidence we have more bushfires. We've had much bigger fires many decades ago. Particularly the greenies preventing safe clearing and backburning means much more fuel for the fires that do start. Even the IPCC report admits there is little evidence for more fires or more storms. It's just hype and lies. Places have always got hotter, drier, wetter etc. Climate has always changed. No hard evidence we are having such a large effect. There did seem to be some good research that suggested land clearing of trees reduces rainfall. It's a pity the film mixes in some decent environmental concerns with the AGW tripe. Get past the slurs and take a gander at the dark side so you can consider both sides. 'One man seems to have made his point until the other comes and presents his side.'
Nathan Ellery Ok.... so go to Skeptical Science dot com.... if you really want to know the truth - EVERY question, every 'theory' about how its wrong, that climate change isn't real is covered there. Climate change is REAL, MAN is the cause. Period. End of story. Lets just agree to disagree. Some day you can look me up and send me an apology for being wrong - confusing the issue with non-science arguments from a non-scientist. Delaying actions. Making matters worse.
Gary, that you think opposing arguments come from non scientists tells me you've been sold a lie. I visit SkeptSci and I understand his relationship with Lewindowsky the psych who misrepresents others to try to paint them falsely. How about you visit Jo Nova and read about the corruption of real science. Matters are worse when we spend billions of dollars on non-problems and into the coffers of con-men like Al Gore and chinese solar panel makers whilst they pollute their own rivers with real pollution. It's not about computer models or theories, it's about real world data and the computer models have it massively wrong.
Temperatures haven't stayed the same.
It's about time someone thought of shooting a movie like this! Hopefully it'll soon start to make a difference...
There is "Day After Tomorrow" but it is so blown out of proportion that it actually distances the viewer from the very real impacts of climate change. And it uses the "wise savages" trope in that people from developed countries are saved by people from developing countries at the end, where we know that quite the opposite is happening. People in developing countries are suffering the most and developed countries are trying to shut refugees out and pretend it's not our problem.
This video here gets the prize for the highest number of advert interruptions on RUclips. Such good content in this documentary series pilot, but sliced through almost violently by ads every couple of minutes! Doesn’t make me want to buy anything. Seth Godin wrote an entire book on the uselessness of “interruption Marketing” a long time ago. Google didn’t get the memo.
Yeah you are correct, it's maddening to see so many useless commercials
I like the red haired lady but I don't agree that a god exists. I really like her stance on the people who lie though.
She shows true devotion to God and all his creatures, and that always includes working for the best possible environment for all. I'm no longer a Christian, but I appreciate true Christian devotion whenever it (rarely) appears.
Yup. And we need to tell these Christians that it was commanded by God himself that we take care of what he gave us. We were entrusted to do so.
Jesus was a Jew.
Brian Emerick That is the best 4-syllable reply...Jesus a Jew, who likely studied with Essene masters in Egypt and with Hindu and Buddhist masters in India and realized his own divinity, as can each human. Let's be responsible for our roles as creators.
@Welfed Ted. I was raised a Jew you moron (no longer part of the faith). My comments about anti-Evolution & "Creationism" or what the CHRISTIAN movement has called "Intelligent Design" are the idiots that are going around claiming the earth is really 6000 years old and that Evolution is not a proven theory. Most Jews accept the theory of evolution. I can't say the same for Muslims. But I don't see Jews nor Muslim groups trying to get their "theories" of Creation or "Intelligent Design" into public science classrooms. That's ALL being done by CHRISTIANS!! So, please....save me your fake outrage. Because it is CHRISTIANS here in THIS country that were responsible for allowing slavery to exist & a whole host of other craziness (burning witches, etc).
Time to cancel my SHOWTIME subscription...
but God wants you to keep it
I can reduce my carbon foot print by not keeping SHOWTIME. EARTH will thank me for for doing my share to save her.
Less green out of my pockets monthly is a very sustainable sacrifice.
"...because I fear knowledge that conflicts with my bible"
Right? Lol!
....because I fear green Propaganda that conflicts with scientific knowledge taught in grade school. Lol!
Really Billy? What does it conflict with. Specifically? Tell us all that when you were in grade school that the polar caps were melting like we've never seen before. Tell us Billy Boy? Don't run away know like most of you Neanderthals do.
glad to see that renowned NYT journalists begin serious research with Google queries like 'syria climate' just like the rest of us
Thank you for this great awesome awareness series.
Hey guys, what do plants consume as part of the process of photosynthesis? Just follow the money, and you'll see why this is a load of bullshit. The solution isn't buying carbon credits, but planting your own food and being self sufficient.
Yes, I am trying to grow my own food...fruits and veggies, here in Pittsburgh, PA, but we didn't get enough rain...used up all the rain water from my rain barrels and even with mulch...didn't get a good harvest. My neighbor supplemented his garden with irrigation tubing from the hose and he had a great harvest...but what happens when there is no supplemental water to use??? Follow the money & power is essential to understanding this problem...Big Oil will not give up it's strangle-hold on US or the world.
Margie Pegher absolute bullshit. Pa has one of the highest water tables. I live in shippensburg pa we got plenty of rain water without a rain barrel to grow crops hell the farmers around here don't irrigate one bit...
June & July were really rainy (soggy), but by the time things took and dried out...I was into Aug. with limited rain..Sept is usually more rainy but it was more dry. I plant a lot in pots and raised beds, so they tend to dry out more quickly. All I know is that I would empty my rain barrel and then wait and wait, while in years past I had to add another rain barrel. I am glad that Shippensburg had a good growing season 2013 and I hope that this summer is good for all. My point in sharing my personal experience was that it is easy to say to people to just grow your own, but it is in the "doing" that we are reminded of our dependence on 'mother' earth and we are at the mercy of the climate and weather. Also of importance to note that there are a lot of people who live in apartments and in the city with little room for gardens...there is a great need for community gardens and for buying locally grown food. We must acknowledge our interdependence on each other and the earth that sustains us.
Margie Pegher fair enough and true.
Happy Spring, Ted John Noga.
This has a lot of propaganda, some good points, but it's not really going to the root problems. Big Money is behind this series.
such as the supporters of skynet?
LOL
Sarah Connor There is no fate but what we make.
thoughti would be seeing Ian's set but i am not disappointed with these 2s... cant wait to see the rest
i especially enjoyed the religion/science set
Very interesting to see the impact of climate change on the war in Syria, and a christian climatologist talking to the faithful. Hoping the analysis of the huge US contribution to global emissions gets some time. Thanks for investing so much in an issue of such importance to the future of the world as we know it.
Great and fascinating episode. Touching, inspiring but also challenging. The question is, what contributions can we offer in aid of reducing climate Change and other calamities that our globe now facing?
The power of excellent content.
Very good indeed.. watchable, entertaining, informative and alarming
I don't much appreciate that they seemed to be filming in the winter time to make the landscapes look more desolate. When you're pulling tricks like that it makes you hard to trust.
On just most of the information alone, I liked it.
The message is to important to restrict viewership to cable subscribers. It should be aired on FREE TV.
This is an amazing documentary
I Saw the All Seasons and Episodes ! I Hope people mentalities change and we all can do something to change it. i See differences in my country on some beach the water level is so high that we lost some of our most beautiful beaches .
I'm impressed with this program. And, I wish I could watch it. But, I can't afford Showtime. It's a shame you're not putting this on a standard broadcast channel so everyone can watch it.
This definitely needs more exposure! This is one topic where none can rightly say. "enough said"... Thank to all the celebs who are helping to save the planet!!!
fatguy309 Without celebs nobody seems to pay attention. I am grateful to them for helping call attention to the problem.
fatguy309
Nah.. why hate people just because they are rich. Forget yourself and focus on how YOU can make a difference instead!
I really think the fact that so many orangutangs had to die is a more important issue because we all need to do something to stop this destruction. Why spend all your time trolling everything on the net? Is there anything you can approve of ?
fatguy309 These people need to be applauded whether or not the climate is changing.. ever seen that new documentary entitled How Did Wolves Change the Course of a River? Basically my point is that for each and every precious life form that is being destroyed for the sake of commercial greed and for each and every change in the ecosystems their are unfathomable results. We are all very clueless about it to tell you the truth. Only God knows ALL the reasons why we need to stop destroying his creations... This has nothing to do with theories brother. I get that in our fascist country their are corporations that are trying to figure out how to profit at our expense due to the concepts explored with this documentary, and I am with you on keeping our freedoms.
fatguy309
Right. Yet more people need to become aware of the environmental problems! So if in their attempts to somehow funnel our hard earned income into their best friends companies to solve a fake problem they start to save entire species and the planet.. that we should applaud...
Hopefully this will open peoples minds! Celebrities and James Cameron will finally catch peoples attention for once.
Very Interesting Documentary, so many truth treater near, Excellent Job!
***** You really don't understand this science?
Thanks for the shout out, Arnold!
This was an extraordinary interview done by Thomas Friedman, and so gutsy.
Thanks for providing the transcript. More languages are needed. I would think that having the transcript translated into relevant languages (spanish, portugese, russian, standard chinese, arabic) would give this timely project an even greater momentum. I vounteer to translate it in a language spoken in lesser numbers than these - Romanian - it's population still needs to address the topic - we have a huge unfair share of imoral/ilegal deforestation in Europe, Romania that the authorities turn a blind eye to - hence my eagerness. Would you add the translated transcript?
