"This Is Mark Copeland For Radio Free Oregon. Don't Believe The Lies." – Copeland Remember that celebrities are not authorities! Sadly, such a nice actor like Keanu is a naive and easily manipulated person.

I loved this film! It's a must-see documentary that entertains like a movie while educating you. And, it' was made 'carbon neutral' thanks to a gift of FutureWind clean power certificates from Krystal Planet, of course. This film is non-partisan, and can unite both sides of the political aisle on this urgent topic of climate change and our silly dependence on foreign energy.

Does a solid job of dealing with the problem but with enough originality that it's not an exact duplication of the Gore film.

TV Guide

An impressive parade of scientists, meteorologists and grassroots activists assert that humanity is capable of adapting to a changing climate, building sustainable communities without sacrificing modern-day comforts and even reversing some of the damage.
