There are few really useful facts mentioned in this documentary, which are however only superficially mentioned. Above all, the solution for the problems has in my view not been addressed at all.
The main cause for the climate change underlying the CO2 emissions, deforestation, oceans depletion, methane release, etc. Has not been stated, which is in my opinion overpopulation. This is of course a sensitive fact for people to talk about, but nevertheless the direct cause of the worsening ecological state. What difference do the measures to reduce the climate change effect, if the overall population keeps rising and rising, and therefore the demand for all those products that contribute to CC in the first place? There was not even a mention of population increase, which has been downright skyrocketing in recent decades. With (far) less people on our planet, the carbon and methane emissions and the overall exploitation of planet and nature would sink automatically. Moreover, there would also be benefits regarding reduced danger of plagues and conflicts in crowded areas and over food and water supplies, which could be addresses by reduction in world population.
Climate Change: The Facts is overall a poor presentation, offering no real solutions (reminds me of a question being posed to the presenter of this film in the British Parliament about a concrete plan to address the issue, to which alas no precise answer was given), only cursory addressing the source of already visible consequences of climate destruction.
Speaking about the problem without pointing at its solution will hardly bring any results. Unless a thorough long-term worldwide plan is implemented to drastically reduce the planet's population, all other measures will prove ineffective and finally insignificant.
