Humans will pay the price for not respecting the planet

This show was great. In a very short time has proved humans with a advanced brain, stand upright, have thumbs and can speak has become the perfect destroying machine. Humans destroy everything they come in contact with. The best thing to happen to this plant is for the entire human species to be destroyed, this film was great as it shows mankind is no good for this planet. The world is 4.5 billion years old, if there is a God, why would he wait so long to put humans on the planet. Look what mankind has done in less then 300 years, what a joke, mankind was the worst thing to ever happen to earth. If there is a God, what a disappointment mankind must be to him, destroying his planet and having no regard what so ever for nature or the millions of creatures on this planet. Anyone who is in disagreement with this show and does not see what humans have done to this once so beautiful planet is in a fog as mankind deserves whatever ever nature throws at humans, we are all guilty of destroying this beautiful planet and it is all GREED driven.

Seven Years Later . . .

This film was made in 2010 but great to watch now. It presents a fictionalized worst-case scenario thru the eyes of "Lucy" who is born in 2009 and by 2100 is the oldest person alive in a dystopian world. Topics covered are peak oil (it gets wrong due to fracking), drought (it pretty much nails), heat-waves (accurate), the flooding of NYC and migrants (eerily prescient) and a host of other issues still too soon to determine such as tropical diseases popping up in temperate zones, sea-level rise, the arctic methane burp, melting of Greenland. The film is US-centric, so might be frustrating for people in other countries who are tired of seeing us place ourselves at the forefront all the time. But it does mention China, India and Mexico among others -- trying to show the global extent of the problems. The film also features impressive experts such as E.O. Wilson and Jared Diamond. The greatest weakness of this chilling and very important warning message is in the "solutions" presented at the end. Like most, it suggests using compact florescent bulbs and everyone just trying harder instead of specific policy, tax and economic reforms that would put in place the incentives and policy machinery needed for sustainable economic systems. In that regard, we could badly use a sequel/remake/revisiting of this crucial topic.

Crappy propaganda

First and foremost: The "apocalypse" shown in the movie is crazy one. The climate change may be very bad for people, yes, but historically it was mostly beneficial for the environment. The current "cold age" is abnormally cold, historically it was way way warmer, there was basically no ice on the poles, there was actually even polar forest! What is real problem is overpopulation, globalization (the transport of food around the world is really stupid), ecosystem destruction not short of genocide, production of toxic garbage and other waste. Please stop crying about flooded cities and the end of the civilization. You know, this has happened multiple times in the past and the impact was not that bad. The ruined cities were reused, especially in the Middle East. The oldest cities there have been "recycled" for thousands of years. And they will be recycled in the future as well.

The climate change is not the end of the world nor the nature. It is very unpleasant change for most people. But have no doubts that preventing the climate change would save us from overpopulation or new illnesses. It will not. If your city is in the path of destruction it is just simple to move the city than to try to change the nature. So deal with it and focus on more important issues like stopping the globalization that is the actual devil here - it is really outsourcing of the ecosystem destruction. Riding your bike will really not prevent China from apocalyptic destruction of forests in Africa and South America.

americo-centric and naif

most of the speakers are highly qualified and very scholar, but the narrative around Lucy is very naif: they describe life in 2080 as technologically very similar to the present (gas-powered cars, internet, power grid...)... also, the director seems to believe that USA is sort of a "leading nation" with a duty to guide the rest of humanity out of this ecological predicament, while in reality USA is the nation who does the most to CREATE this predicament in the first place, with their absurd lifestyle and the aggressiveness of its corporation.... don't forget that the largest polluting entity on the planet is the USA army - but this is not even mentioned in the movie. The narrator also mentions people coming from "failed countries" as a big security threat (to Americans... the rest of the world doesn't really matter...), while forgetting to mention that USA itself is mostly responsible -with direct or indirect military, political or economical attacks - for the "failure" of these states. So on the whole this movie told me little I didn't already know (I have read all Jared Diamond books, they are excellent) and only annoyed me for its faith in Governments and americocentricity.

A good cause, but I can't bare to think about it.

I am a firm believer in global warming. This may be a good thing, except I also have an anxiety problem and will assume that the worst case scenario is the most likely.

Yes, this film states that this scenario will only happen if we do NOTHING, but that is little comfort. Simply reading about any post-apocolyptic story makes me very upset, and the fact that this setting is possible makes it even worse.

Yet that being said, my logical self is glad that you made this video. While I may be a firm believer, not everyone is.

Still, WHY? WHY? why does the future have to hold such potential for bad stuff?

Citas
Host: By 2100, our world could be transformed.
HEIDI CULLEN: [Climatologist, Climate Central] Just, imagine a city that's not polluted, that has a great transportation infrastructure...
MITCHELL JOACHIM: [Architect And Urban Designer] Stackable cars, and they would charge, and be a shared ownership model, and you would just pull out the one that's available that's fully charged. Everything happens inside the city itself. That means our food production, our waste and recycling, our energy.
PETER GLEICK: [President, Pacific Institute] We're going to have joint management of water resources, of energy resources, uh, of disaster management. We're going to be living on a planet where we don't see things at a national level, but we see things at a global level.
VAN JONES: [Founder, Green for All] By the time we get to 2100, the challenge of building a global, green economy where we're sharing technologies and where we're not fighting wars over water and oil... That's going to bring out the best in the human family.
E.O. WILSON: [Biologist & Entomologist, Harvard University] Humanity will be relatively, disease-free. Children will be treated as rare treasures.
PETER DeMENOCAL: [Professor of Environmental Sciences, Columbia University] What most people don't realize is that not only can we change, we must change. And I think that's how you own the future. That's how you take control of your destiny
STUART PIMM: [Professor of Conservation Ecology, Duke University] I have huge faith in humanity.
THOMAS FRIEDMAN: [Foreign Affairs Columnist, The New York Times] And we will be able to create a world that will be a livable planet for our kids and their kids. That is our opportunity. That is our obligation.
ALEX STEFFEN: [Author, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the Twenty-First Century] Kids born today will see us navigate past the first greatest test of humanity, which is: can we actually be smart enough to live on a planet without destroying it?
