Years of Living Dangerously

As someone who already understands the basics of climate change, I find little to learn from this show. It's basically celebrities asking very naive questions, softballs to get an easily impactful line. Cheadle, Ford, and Friedman are boring and humorless. The camera pans to closeups of handshakes and guns, trying a little too hard to create an atmosphere of foreboding. The typical Gore-bashing argument of flying in private jets etc. does seem especially on display here, although somebody has to fly around doing some journalism if messages are to be spread. The actual content of the show is educational. If you don't know anything about climate change and respect actors, you can get something out of this.

i really loved the show. it brings out the true scale of catastrophic natural disasters that are bound to happen if we keep on exploiting our mother earth the same way we are doing it. Also the urge to educate our political leaders to take necessary actions in-order to preserve whatever resources we have and use it wisely and start working towards a sustainable future keeping aside dirty politics also as they are ignorant about climate change and in the name of development allows top corporate companies to exploit the planet resources which is acting as a catalyst in the process of climate degradation. Global Warming is a true man made phenomenon and not something created by some supernatural entity and needs to be brought under control. I really hope everyone watches it and do their part to preserve the only planet we call HOME.

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.

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.

We are often told that rich people are evil. This documentary proves otherwise. The rich people in the series have a heart of gold.

Indeed. These super-rich people briefly left their mansions and glorious life styles to tell us that we really, really don't want to have their mansions and glorious life styles. The fate of the world is at stake. They flew around the world in private jets (the film crews flew coach, we hope) telling us to "cool it".

You see, there are still parts on this blue planet where it is common for a 20-year-old mother to have seen two or three of her children die from diseases that are entirely preventable. Something as simple as access to electricity would do it (i.e. cheap energy with which to boil water). However, these super-rich people are telling her she cannot have an electric generator because, they say, 95% of scientists hypothesize it "could" harm the planet. And, shrug, the death of her children is the price to pay to save the planet from doom.

According to the World Health Organization, I quote, "more 6 million children under the age of five died in 2012. More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions".

The bottom line of the documentary? The children of the poor need to continue dying so that the children of the super-rich inherit a better world. And if it turns out that the fate of the world is not at stake, well, the children that have died are the children of the poor.
