Hello, it sounds like this will be a good special answering many of the questions I have. In particular questions about the temperature data from the GISP and Volstok ice core samples which are the two most studied ice cores samples from both the northern and southern hemispheres. For example the GISP temperature graph shows the temperature has been constant in the northern hemisphere for the last 800 years with a .5 degree C rise in the last 100 years as Al Gore and others use to prove man made global warming, but they stop there not showing you the entire graph going back 20,000 years. If you look beyond 800 years it shows the temperature rose 1 degree C higher 1000 years ago, 2 degrees C higher 2000 years ago and 3 degrees C higher 3300 years ago, I hope you will explain why the world did not flood 3300 years ago for example. Another question is in reguards to the Volstok temperature data over the last 800 years where it shows the southern hemisphere has experience 3 major temperature swings of 2.5 degrees Celsius despite CO2 being constant. The last one is I am hoping you can explain why these two ice cores samples show a the trend where when the temperature goes up in one hemisphere it goes down in the other and vice versa, why? And is this not happening today as the ice pack in the southern hemisphere has increased 8% since 1978? I am really hoping your show explains these basic questions instead of picking and choosing from the temperature data like Al Gore and others do. You can see the temperature graphs at http://turfins.blogspot.com

This show has the same scare tactic crap as all the other shows of this type. Guess what happens when you raise CO2 a few 100 ppm in the lab? Nothing, as it takes hundreds of times to make an impact. This show ignores past ice core data that show the norm is for the temperature to swing wildly as much as 3 degrees C over a few 100 years with the exception of the GISP data the last 800 years where the temperature was abnormally low and constant in just the northern hemisphere. The ice core data over the last 20,000 years shows clearly that temperature change is the norm, but this fact is ignored so shows like this can obtain ratings through preaching predicted doom and gloom.

I wish there was more time spent on educating people on what to do, and what kind of lifestyle changes need to be made to make a difference. People have to be made aware that each of us contributes to GHG enissions, and that all the small things we do as individuals can and does add up. Do a documentatary on how to change your footprint. It is not enough to just scare us--show us how to change--really show us, not just mention a few examples.

It was a good show. Alarmist in tendencies, yes, but it still served its purpose. We are so complacent and unwilling to do away with any comfort or convenience at all that alarmist prophecies are what it takes to motivate people.
It is true, the earth have gone through ice ages and warm spells for millenia, and it will continue to do so. But let's not forget, those climate changes also wiped out the prevailing species of those times. If, in fact, the earth is in a naturally occurring warming trend, you can not argue that we are exacerbating it, and at our own peril.
Conversely, science believes that warming and cooling on the earth has historically been related to a number of factors, including wobbles in earth's orbit, changing from circular (warmer) to slightly elliptical (cooler). Frighteningly, we are at an orbital point where the Earth's orbit is becoming slightly more elliptical. We SHOULD be getting cooler.

I think that the earth is just going though more changes, and yes spieces have been wiped out but maybe our turn is near. I don't think that all of our recycling has changed much to the planet. One million years worth of car pollution is about as much as one volcanic eruption. The earth isn't changing because of us, it's just going though another change that might or might not effect us. We should stop trying to out smart mother nature and go with what is being done.

I think its true and I'm scared

I think that our world is changing rapidly beneath our feet, but we're too incompetent to realize how much danger we are truly in. If society was open-minded enough to realize what will happen if we keep turning away from the issues, there wouldn't need to be shows and blogs and other things that force people to open their eyes and face what's happening.

global warming causes ice ages right? well that means that all the other ice ages were caused by global warmings before our time. they were caused by volcanos witch cause more greenhouse gasses than 10000 cars ever could. so if thats true, then even if we stop using pollutional cars the volcanos will make an ice age anyway. so why dont we speed it up and get the next ice age over and done with? the quicker we get it done the quicker we can get rid of the pollutional cars and start to bring out the hydrogen engines for everyone. and plus we could get rid of the hell hole we live in now and start again.it would be for the best i think.

I'm in my late 40's so I probably won't live long enough to suffer what is likely to come. However, having read a great deal about what we can expect in the future, I'm very glad that I decided not to bring children into the world. It does not appear that the children of today have much to look forward to.

Hello I am 11 years old and I just wanted to say that I saw the whole video and I would love to have children one day but no time soon. I probally will be alive if we keep on going like this and I hope I will be able to survive this huge change in the world.I hope that if this ever happens I would be able to save as many people as I can.Hope that I would be able to save you.

Why is it that the Government just swallows there pride. Let people start growing hemp. So we can start putting the co'2 back in our Ozone. I would think that it could help some if not alot.
It grows fast and it can be growen almost anywhere.
Maybe I am wrong,
but just an idea.
If it could help our future, then do it.
Don't put it on the community of this earth. We have so many laws that stop us from doing somthing good,
and we can't get funding for it.
The Government would rather spend that on a war, or testing in space, where we can't afford to go ourselvs any time soon.
(As for we all people.)
