Disgusting
15 April 2011 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Not rating the documentary here, which is pretty standard anyway, but the man himself. He thinks he is so smart, but his conclusions and reasoning is terribly flawed and simplified,but what took me over the edge is him going to Nigeria and showing how he is distributing food and helping out. And asking the kids what do they want, yeah, education, cars.... as we had to choose between spending money in that or averting global warming, how incredibly simple isn't it. And the irony is that Nigeria is feeding us with oil while leaving their population in misery. Disgusting. All I can say, disgusting. This man disgusts me like no one has in a long time. I really hope his dangerous message doesn't get across.
