Amazon Review By C. Morganon June 1, 2006
If you are thoughtful but confused about the debates on global warming and climate change, you should take in this movie. It will be good for your mind, and maybe good for the planet. But go with an open mind, don't be afraid to question your assumptions and the movie's assumptions....just don't hide your head in the sand or pretend that you already have the answers. Being confused is human, but giving up on learning is a form of death. Engage yourself, and engage these ideas.
Yes, the vast majority of scientists and scholars have no question that global warming is occuring and that the earth is changing dramatically and dangerously. They also largely agree that if we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, develop alternative forms of energy (sun and wind, among others) and take steady steps towards conservation and recycling, we can manage the potential nightmare ahead. But there is room for you to have your own thoughts and opinions too, just make sure those opinions are formed by discussion (especially with those who may disagree) and curiosity and openness.
It is the closed minded among us who are in truth making the world a more dangerous place, whether it is the islamic fundamentalists or the opinionated commentators whose minds cannot think beyond there own long-held prejudices. Challenge yourself and develop your mind....engage this movie and its ideas. Or read a good book. Just don't stop thinking, questioning, and learning.
