An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power

Can't wait to see this sequel. The trailer looks great. I first started reading about climate change in 1990 and even did a story on it in 1999. (BTW, the journalism course I was in didn't take kindly to my story on 'climate' change back then either...who would have thought so many idiots in power were afraid of science.) I've been dumbfounded by the lack of action in this area from so-called leaders of the world ever since. There is no doubt whatsoever that human caused activity, coupled with natural cycles, are heating up the planet. There is a strong consensus among scientists who study climate that the planet will continue to heat up resulting in a runaway temperature feedback loop re: melting permafrost and release of methane, desertification, extreme weather events, MASSIVE refugee challenges and rising sea levels. That was my conclusion 18 years ago, and still I don't see enough being done. I have relegated myself to a philosophical position regarding this issue: What if humanity has completed its 'life cycle?' All species have a life cycle, from early primitive life to dinosaurs etc. and many have died out. Why are we any different? We have a life cycle also and we could be at the end of it due to our own activities...not so hard to believe is it? Anyway, the people below who call this 'propaganda and garbage' are obviously cowardly in the face of factual, scientific evidence, and thankfully, are in the extreme minority. NO ONE IS LISTENING TO YOU. The entire sane world has signed on to the Paris climate treaty. Only one rogue state is flaunting international consensus, the U.S., (and one hasn't signed because they say, 'it doesn't go far enough) and the U.S. will pay dearly with class action suits from various countries in the next decades.
