the 11th hour

Not seen it yet myself but I've heard it's a sterilized, happy-ending Hollywood production. Anyone seen it yet, what do you think?

T - I'm not sure it would be. It appears to do a good job of highlighting the problem. So what? Is anyone here unaware of the problems? It makes a clear statement that something should be done and some grandiose ideas are tossed out. But I suspect it ignores one critical issue: the economics.

I would be thrilled to watch a movie that showed PRACTICAL AND DOABLE solutions. I suspect this isn't one of them.

Have any of you seen it? I can't get it on Netflix streaming and I am not about to buy the DVD sight unseen...

I saw it in 2008. It was out of date then, more so now. It was optimistic in tone, if that is your preference. The treatment of many topics was superficial, seldom were metrics used. It produces a vague sense of peril, and a desire for more information.

Most of the symptoms of doom discussed are extreme weather events. Like most "chicken little" warnings, there is no appreciation of the fact that with a planet undergoing exponential human population growth, the rate of reporting of weather events is increasing, entirely independent of whether the average rate of occurrence of such events is increasing, steady state, or in actual decline.

Which pretty much describes the problem with many of the numbers tossed around here at PO. Unrestrained human population growth is the only real environmental issue we face. PO, AGW, and everything else are symptoms of population increase.

Needs to be shown in China, no need for that movie here in America, EPA has already set in motion to destroy any new manufacturing plants and coal plants here already, only thing we need to worry about is the flood of illegals coming across our unguarded borders thanks to Obama tards..
