Years of Living Dangerously

Famous personalities including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Michael C. Hall catch the general public's eye and lead them to a discussion of a very important topic. Real life examples of the effects of climate change help to make connections to a technically complex scientific model of the future worldwide environment. Although no single weather event can be blamed unambiguously on global warming, it is shown how the likelihood of extreme events in general will probably increase in frequency as worldwide temperatures rise. Climate change deniers and skeptics are treated with respect and shown the experimental evidence that they disagree with. Thanks to all involved in the making of the series.

Just don't listen to the "One Star Votes" their arguments are so flawed i don't even know where to start.

All the episodes so far had nothing to do with the participants being rich or anything else.

The arguments in here are nothing new , though an eye opener they should be for all religious people on how, and here comes the contradictory part for them, believing in science can be possibly being religious, one thing i really like about the show.

The sheer science and blatant evidence you see, has nothing to do with what biased comments you get of "The One Star Votes", so just don't even bother reading them.

It is a really good show and the means of transport to getting the message across in here, are in this case Celebrities, nothing wrong with that if you ask me.

Just watch it some episodes will baffle you on what mindless RAPE is committed on nature just for money.

People should be ashamed at the way we are destroying this planet. Even reading many of the reviews here, so many of us are in denial, even though the science is indisputable. SHAME. Harrison Ford has done what very few of us are able to do - use his celebrity to travel to Indonesia to question the commitment of government officials there to stop the exploitation of the rain forests for palm oil. Basically the security of our planet is secondary to money making and that explains why no progress has been made to reducing human carbon emissions on the planet. This documentary series pulls no punches on what we have to do to avoid a catastrophe. Pity no-one is listening. Instead the argument is reduced to the Republicans versus the Democrats. The climate doesn't care about people's political affiliations. Those who had the political power to act and chose to do nothing will have to answer to their children and grandchildren who face living on an unlivable planet.

A must-see series, but rather obviously aimed at a mass audience, comfortable in their well-insulated houses. Nevertheless, must-see! Arguments presented for and against the global-warming theory are trivial at best. Perhaps the most interesting part is wondering whether the journalists and "scientists" portrayed realize that the hypocrisy of their luxurious and obviously energy-intensive life-styles shown here is the very reason that ordinary people do not take them seriously.

There is an excellent interview with President Obama which has totally countered my previous negative impression of him.

This series of films explore many different stories around climate change in order to illuminate some of what is happening locally in our world.

Unfortunately there are not more documentaries on TV of this quality and prescience. It's extremely well written, produced and researched.

Why do some people rate this so badly? I can only guess that they are either extremely closed minded to the world we live in or they are lying selfishly for their own interests.

If you are skeptical then watch it and make your own mind up, otherwise you remain ignorant of the most important issue humanity has ever faced.
