Movie Review: Documentary about climate change is strictly partisan

Writer-director-producer-narrator Craig Scott Rosebraugh minces no words in this hard-hitting study of so many things going wrong with our environment. He feels that climate change denialists are morons, and he backs that up with thoughtful words from people he believes in, people who offer proof that we’re in trouble and are headed for a lot more.

Dr. Michael Mann, from the Penn State Earth System Science Center, explains how climate change is playing out in real time and is affecting our weather. Dr. Pieter Tans, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, wonders how, with our changing climate, we’ll be able to grow enough food in the future. Rosebraugh’s parade of scientists goes on and on, each one focusing on different imminent disasters if something isn’t done.

Then he lets out the loonies.
