  1. 'Global population growth, imperialism, and an economic model based on extractive rules of exploitation and trade that ignores natural rates of resource renewal, set the stage for a convergence of several worldwide trends that threaten safe and sustainable human development: accelerating impacts from climate change, pollution, social inequality, biodiversity loss, and disease.

  2.  richie3846 it's the rate of change that is also a  big problem.  The earth may have been warmer before but species evolved to cope with that warmer world . Dinosaurs being a perfect example, reptiles flourished for many millions of yrs in that warmer climate.  The trend of the earth since has generally been a cooler trend. Modern nature has evolved in this cooler world. The sun was less bright millions of yrs ago so the planet was able to cope with much more co2 in the atmosphere then now. There seems to a trend between an ever brighter and warming sun over many millions of yrs and the general trend of co2 in the atmosphere decreasing over  many millions of yrs. A delicate balance between the two. We are now altering that balance.

  3.  SollyOlly yes  and they are twisting things to say that it is the climate change movement etc  that are the ones all about power and money etc. Scientists working for governments etc etc . That they want to control the people etc. Completely twisting everything around. That twisting of the truth is very dangerous.

  4.  WYorksWeather  yes I've seen that. But there is alot of denial out there. These people can not be reasoned with. They have it in their heads that its all a scam. Many of the comments on this video on YouTube really think this film is telling the truth.   Dangerous stuff. There seems to be a fightback going on against climate science and I find that very worrying.  Of course it is difficult to gauge how much of the general population believe this denial nonsense and maybe I'm being a bit ott.
