Years of Living Dangerously

We are often told that rich people are evil. This documentary proves otherwise. The rich people in the series have a heart of gold.

Indeed. These super-rich people briefly left their mansions and glorious life styles to tell us that we really, really don't want to have their mansions and glorious life styles. The fate of the world is at stake. They flew around the world in private jets (the film crews flew coach, we hope) telling us to "cool it".

You see, there are still parts on this blue planet where it is common for a 20-year-old mother to have seen two or three of her children die from diseases that are entirely preventable. Something as simple as access to electricity would do it (i.e. cheap energy with which to boil water). However, these super-rich people are telling her she cannot have an electric generator because, they say, 95% of scientists hypothesize it "could" harm the planet. And, shrug, the death of her children is the price to pay to save the planet from doom.

According to the World Health Organization, I quote, "more 6 million children under the age of five died in 2012. More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions".

The bottom line of the documentary? The children of the poor need to continue dying so that the children of the super-rich inherit a better world. And if it turns out that the fate of the world is not at stake, well, the children that have died are the children of the poor.

Famous personalities including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Michael C. Hall catch the general public's eye and lead them to a discussion of a very important topic. Real life examples of the effects of climate change help to make connections to a technically complex scientific model of the future worldwide environment. Although no single weather event can be blamed unambiguously on global warming, it is shown how the likelihood of extreme events in general will probably increase in frequency as worldwide temperatures rise. Climate change deniers and skeptics are treated with respect and shown the experimental evidence that they disagree with. Thanks to all involved in the making of the series.

A must-see series, but rather obviously aimed at a mass audience, comfortable in their well-insulated houses. Nevertheless, must-see! Arguments presented for and against the global-warming theory are trivial at best. Perhaps the most interesting part is wondering whether the journalists and "scientists" portrayed realize that the hypocrisy of their luxurious and obviously energy-intensive life-styles shown here is the very reason that ordinary people do not take them seriously.

There is an excellent interview with President Obama which has totally countered my previous negative impression of him.

Science is never settled. That is what Neil deGrasse Tyson says. Further he states that anyone saying "science is settled is lying and not furthering what real science is.

Recently in Sept.02 2016 31000 Scientist, including 9029 Phd's signed a letter stating that carbon has no effect at all on the climate. Nasa has confirmed this data. The models are wrong. They say it is the current ending solar cycle. Now we are in a cooling phase.

This show is utter nonsense. Tax people to use gas. Hell one lady who lives next to me can't afford the price right now. This show is pure propaganda and does not use real science but utter nonsense from simpleton actors and participants. The truth is not shown but only one side that is not rooted in real science. This is the type of propaganda that the nazi's used. Avoid this stupidity!

No wonder Trump won. Taxing carbon is not what the Tax code was made for! That is pure fascism!

i really loved the show. it brings out the true scale of catastrophic natural disasters that are bound to happen if we keep on exploiting our mother earth the same way we are doing it. Also the urge to educate our political leaders to take necessary actions in-order to preserve whatever resources we have and use it wisely and start working towards a sustainable future keeping aside dirty politics also as they are ignorant about climate change and in the name of development allows top corporate companies to exploit the planet resources which is acting as a catalyst in the process of climate degradation. Global Warming is a true man made phenomenon and not something created by some supernatural entity and needs to be brought under control. I really hope everyone watches it and do their part to preserve the only planet we call HOME.
