O Planeta em Perigo

Science is never settled. That is what Neil deGrasse Tyson says. Further he states that anyone saying "science is settled is lying and not furthering what real science is.

Recently in Sept.02 2016 31000 Scientist, including 9029 Phd's signed a letter stating that carbon has no effect at all on the climate. Nasa has confirmed this data. The models are wrong. They say it is the current ending solar cycle. Now we are in a cooling phase.

This show is utter nonsense. Tax people to use gas. Hell one lady who lives next to me can't afford the price right now. This show is pure propaganda and does not use real science but utter nonsense from simpleton actors and participants. The truth is not shown but only one side that is not rooted in real science. This is the type of propaganda that the nazi's used. Avoid this stupidity!

No wonder Trump won. Taxing carbon is not what the Tax code was made for! That is pure fascism!

To call this mess propaganda would be to misuse the word. There's presenting facts selectively in an effort to further an agenda, and then there's ignoring fact, logic, and reason altogether and making a contention based entirely on the premise of "because I said so". "Years of Living Dangerously" is decidedly in the latter category. It is a convoluted hodgepodge of fallacies and misleading information peddled in such a way as to make Dan Rather blush.

Should one ignore the blatant hypocrisy of a bunch of well to do actors jetting around the world, while burning more jet fuel and creating more "greenhouse" gasses than the average person does in their lifetime, the show is clearly written by people who are entirely convinced that the viewing public are comprised of brainless amoeba. This outright contempt for the intelligence of the audience speaks volumes to the audience the show has received, which is approximately 400% less than a COPS rerun on Spike at four in the morning.

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.

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.

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.
