1. But the sad thing is, if we stopped all oil production right now, our societies would collaps!
2. We're Amusing Ourselves To Death ...The Earth Is Our Only Home,And We're Playing With Fire Like Irrational Beings !...
3. Stop business royalties for such important issues. It's the same of silence: Private ownership of the contents, in environmental matters and environmental disasters, is equivalent to censorship. By doing so they are not different from denialists. This documentary should have been spread, in fact, in the name of "NO LOGO" ..! : p
4. There must be change, and it begins with me; for if I can change, so too can the world.
5. Amazing!
6. Save the planet. Go vegan.
7. User Nephos100 has quite cowardly flagged my comments as spam in a thread below because my rebuttals are too fact filled and logical for him. Therefore no one can see it. Now, I am forced to post it here so he cannot mark it as spam. For someone to be so fixated on TRUTH I find this action quite hypocritical. He doesn't like well researched info and he clearly doesn't like to be challenged with intelligence. He proclaims geoengineering is taking place over our heads as we speak but cannot provide any evidence of such extraordinary claim!. He also thinks aluminum is being covertly sprayed from planes and narcissistically has all the answers with not one ounce of evidence nor source to back it up. (a common issue of the Chemtrail community) He also seems to think Aluminum is not found anywhere on the planet and should never be found in soil or water samples. In my comment that was cowardly flagged as spam, I completly obliterated his false assumptions about aluminum found in water, soil and the air with scientific evidence with links to the sources showing how his claim is completely false. He is too proud and arrogant to admit any fault in his research. Now, I am forced to post my original response that was marked as spam here so people can see the facts. Not fairytales. Since he couldn't argue facts nor contribute the the debate any longer he silenced me. Like a coward. Please ask yourselves why someone would do this. Is it because they want to promote some kind of skewed agenda? Sounds to me like he doesn't want truth (contrary to his claims) and when the truth is exposed he ignores it. At least scientists look at both sides of an argument. He is too biased and arrogant to do so and quite frankly has trouble thinking for himself. He is a deceitful human. Here is his comment and my response.
   
   Nephos100 comment:
   "Unbonded aluminium does not occur in nature - at all. In its ore state, Bauxite, it is safe. So where does all the unbonded aluminium come from? They have found extraordinary amounts in the snow!!! How would it get in the snow? Snow falls out of the sky. There should be zero amount of any type of aluminium in snow, especially in a pristine and isolated area like Mt Shasta. What say you?"
   
   "My response:
   Aside from the fact The testing method breaks compounds apart into their constituent elements when these tests were conducted it should be noted that Aluminum is released to the environment by both natural processes and anthropogenic sources. Because of its prominence as a major constituent of the earth's crust, natural processes far exceed the contribution of anthropogenic releases to the environmental distribution of aluminum (Lantzy and MacKenzie 1979). Anthropogenic releases are primarily to the atmosphere. The largest source of airborne aluminum-containing particulates is the flux of dust from soil and the weathering of rocks (Lee and Von Lehmden 1973; Sorenson et al. 1974).
   
   Aluminum can be released naturally by the weathering of aluminum-containing rocks. Aluminum is also released to soil as a major constituent of many mining wastes and is also contained in solid wastes from coal combustion and aluminum reduction and other metal processing operations (DOI 1983, 1984).
   
   Aluminum never found free in nature and is found in most rocks, particularly igneous rocks as aluminosilicate minerals (Lide 2005; Staley and Haupin 1992). Aluminum is also present in air, water, and many foods. Aluminum enters environmental media naturally through the weathering of rocks and minerals. Anthropogenic releases are in the form of air emissions, water effluents, and solid waste primarily associated with industrial processes, such as aluminum production. Because of its prominence as a major constituent of the earth's crust, natural weathering processes far exceed the contribution of releases to air, water, and land associated with human activities (Lantzy and MacKenzie 1979).
   
   Since aluminum is ubiquitous in the environment, the general population will be exposed to aluminum by the inhalation of ambient air and the ingestion of food and water.
   
   The major anthropogenic sources of aluminum-containing particulate matter include coal combustion, aluminum production, and other industrial activities such as smelting, that process crustal minerals (Lee and Von Lehmden 1973)
   
   In addition, aluminum-containing dust is generated by volcanic activity (Varrica et al. 2000). Human activities, such as mining and agriculture, contribute to this wind-blown dust (Eisenreich 1980; Filipek et al. 1987). About 13% of atmospheric aluminum is attributed to anthropogenic emissions (Lantzy and MacKenzie 1979). The major anthropogenic sources of aluminum-containing particulate matter include coal combustion, aluminum production, and other industrial activities, such as smelting, that process crustal minerals (Lee and Von Lehmden 1973). Aluminum concentrations in air particulate emissions from iron and steel foundries and brass and bronze refineries range from about 100 to 1,000 ppm (Lee and Von Lehmden 1973). Que Hee et al. (1982) also found that aluminum was one of the most abundant elements quantified in coal stack emissions from power plants located in both the eastern and western United States. In addition, in U.S. cities, motor vehicle emissions contribute an estimated 0.9–9% of the observed elemental concentration of aluminum in these atmospheres (Ondov et al. 1982).
   
   Weathering of sulfide ores exposed to the atmosphere in inactive mines and tailings dumps releases large quantities of sulfuric acid and metals such as aluminum (Filipek et al. 1987).
   
   Iron Ore is found on Iron Mountain in Shasta County – which is Magnetite. The typical magnetite iron ore concentrate has less than 0.1% phosphorus, 3–7% silica and less than 3% aluminum.. The main types of ash from Mt. Shasta are andesite and dacite.. Mt Shasta Andesite is rich in aluminum, the mafic ash tends to be high in trace elements, including Ba. The andesite found at Mt. Shasta is known to be high in Strontium as well. One is Bully Hill Smelter Plant Delamar, CA (Now under Shasta Lake). Smelters at Bully Hill and Afterthought mines used this limestone for flux. It was quarried in section 8 and J. S. Diller quotes the average partial analysis as showing 51 percent CaO, 1.5 percent Fe2O3 and Al2O3, Copper mining and the toxic copper smelters in Shasta.
   
   Smelter closures have not stopped the pollution problem because toxic water continues to seep into the miles of mining tunnels long ago bored into Iron Mountain and the nearby hills which eventually seep into Shasta Lake and the Sacramento River.
   
   Increasingly, acid environments caused by such acid mine drainage or by acid rain will subsequently cause an increase in the dissolved aluminum content of the surrounding waters (Brusewitz 1984; Filipek et al. 1987).
8. Producing as much carbon as we do may be an issue, but the most important issue and the single largest cause of climate change is that of Geoengineering. Global weather modification programs are wreaking havoc and too few know about this. Look up Geoengineeringwatch.org for credible information.
9. Maybe WE should also look at the Chem Trails that are being sprayed world-wide??
10. My constant problem with this is that I live in f*cking Wisconsin. If you went through 5 month winters, you would be skeptical as well. If its 50 in February, I'll believe you.
11. Koch Brothers Rule !
12. then blame it to the poor...
13. I want to join protests for the things I want to fight for but i never know when and where they happen. 
14. Well-produced agitprop - I think one phrase sums it all up, "When we realized climate change could be the catalyst for a new movement" These are not environmentalists, it's just a useful bandwagon for them to jump on.  The world they would create would not benefit technical people like the young man thinks: if his accreditation was accepted at all it would be a minimum wage scenario while Them Who Know Best continue to jet around the world and make videos telling how lucky we are they are looking out for us.  It's not even worth going into all the biases and manipulations in the video, but I would hope our younger generation is media-savvy enough to see through something this obvious.
15. It's great that so many people are passionate about stopping climate change. Changing to renewables, stopping fracking, as well as many others. But the biggest impact one person can have? Animal agriculture is one of, if not the biggest cause of climate change. Reduce (or stop) your intake of dairy and meat products, we reduce the amount of deforestation for grazing and the amount of greenhouse gasses pumped and farted into our environment.

16. Again.  The argument is not about whether the climate has been warming or cooling....the argument has ALWAYS been about what is causing these changes.  As our climate has warmed up significantly between 1980 and 1998 the assumption is that it must be caused by humans.  But what caused the cooling we experienced between 1940 and 1980?  That's when we saw the largest increase in CO2 and yet we cooled....so much so that in the 1970's scientists were calling for a new ice-age early in the 21st century.  Now in recent years the climate has stalled, or in fact has cooled.  It's always changing.
    
    So rather trying to convince people that if we just turn off our Toyotas that we will miraculously reverse the warming we recently experienced, why don't we just try and clean up out air, soil and oceans?  Forget about warming....that is something that has always been out of our control.  Let's spend time trying to be clean....that is what we need to survive.
    
    Also, keep in mind that the tar sands is a very small project when you consider how much land is used there compared to the rest of the country.  Before they started processing oil there it was already seeping into the drinking water, and leaching throughout the land.  One could argue that the tar sands project is actually preventing more of that oil from poisoning the land and preventing humans from living on it :-).
17. Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Naomi Klein, Avi Lewis, The Guardian and all who have in the face of adversity continued with persistence and strength to educate and spread the word.
18. Nothing will be don until its to late. As long as people have a roof over their heads, food in their stomach, football on tv, and a bit of disposable income they are happy as a pig in shite. Also the 1% that own 90% of the wealth on this planet know that to save our planet they would have to lose money, influence and power. They will never ever give that up willingly. Bill Hicks summed our species up best "A fucking virus with shoes"
19. LOL ,,,,,, Yes this really stupid to believe this ! ! If you accept this HOGWASH as truth you need to look at more data not put out by ENVIRO- Nazi ! ! The reason Canada changed is because the Canadian poeple were hurt so much it got to a point that is was CRAZY environment
     
20. change doesnt happen by bearing witness to all that what is going on, change does not come about through simple talking amoungst to others that all ready know the issues of inequality. change on the scales, of which are needed throughout this world, are very great, yet action from a few can start the change needed way more than us all just simply talking about.
