DVD Reviews of Global Warming: The Signs and the Science
DVD Review: The scientific community vs. the fossil fuel industry's PR
Summary: 5 Stars
As I write this review, Australia is experiencing a massive, lethal fire which is raging on the fuel of its worst drought in a century. Here in Colorado, we've had a couple winter wildfires, one of which forced the evacuation of former FEMA director, Michael Brown. The majority of the scientific community, around 80 percent, feels global warming is taking place and human (fossil fuel industry) activity is the cause. This film takes us on a global tour of the dynamics, disasters, and possible responses to a changing climate. If only the voices in this film had the sort of platform as those who seek to muddle the issue. Hour after hour on right-wing talk radio stations a parade of oil funded "skeptics" argue in ways that Exxon and Peabody coal must appreciate. While I hope the skeptics are right, and we shouldn't be worried (an argument that has shifted to "there's nothing we can do about it", which is more fossil fuel business propaganda); the responsible thing to do would be to take precautions regarding what the CIA considers an international security threat. For example, former CIA director James Woolsey talks about climate change threats in the documentary A Crude Awakening - The Oil Crash.
Additionally, a Wikipedia entry on "Scientific Opinion on Climate Change" reveals how many scientific organizations (not just Al Gore) argue that we are creating a catastrophe. These organizations include the IPCC, the InterAcademy Council, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the European Science Foundation, the National Research Council, the American Association of Wildlife Veterinarians (the film features a segment on the spread of diseases from climate change), the American Society for Microbiology, the American Geophysical Union, and many others. Sadly, the money and media influence of Big Oil and Big Coal and the endless deception of people like Sean Hannity are perverting what should be a serious discussion Everything's Cool.
I would highly recommend this DVD, it's a well-crafted and very informative film. Other media tools I'd recommend are:

E - The Environmental Magazine
Boiling Point: How Politicians, Big Oil and Coal, Journalists, and Activists Have Fueled a Climate Crisis--And What We Can Do to Avert Disaster
