In addition to providing an impressive fact-based counter-argument to the dominant narrative about this high profile and hotly debated subject, Climate the Movie takes a look behind the politics and the science to reveal a vast and interwoven complex of businesses and special interest groups that together comprise a trillion-dollar industry.
What I Liked About It
It felt serious and sober – as close to trustworthy as an argument can sound about such a politicized issue.
By providing a longer-term perspective on climate change, the film demonstrates, quite convincingly, that, far from facing extinction from global warming, the globe is very gradually recovering from a multimillion-year cold spell. And while cold spells like this typically mean less life and less growth, warming is generally a good thing in terms of expanding the number of plants and animals on Earth.
There are also lots of interesting little nuggets of information that explain why the basic facts about climate change are in dispute.
