4/10

Pro's
•Touches briefly on key issues
•Tries to illustrate the difference between the liberal voter who focus on the facts and the republican voter who focus on what they feel.

Con's
•Adds nothing new - rather the opposite, it feels like this was made a decade ago.
•Lacks facts, raw data etc - which there are plenty of so there really is no point not using them...
•It touches briefly on the corrpution, this area could be expanded alot (ALOT!) and should be put in the light on inequality under the rule of law by the corruption these companies and their bought politicians spread onto the legal practitioners (who should know better).
•It also reaches a climax where it states that the surface will rise 10's of meters which is as far as i know pure missinformation (2 meters during the next century, which still will wreck havoc on the majority of the worlds major cities). This together with the lack of facts and missing edge makes the it out to be a missinformative fluffpiece with nothing new to bring to the table.

If you do not wish to read up on the science or read raw data that can be easy or hard to understand it comes down to a simple choice:
If you act like you have no impact on the world around you and you are wrong humanity in its current form will die.
If you act like you have an impact on your surroundings and adjust some smaller parts of your life, you will loose some time and a toxic living enviroment.

[Rant]
Which of the two choices can you live with? As corruption has lead to a response coming past the 11th hour we might get to see either way. Hopefully your actions together with the application of scientific advances (like the superblack absorbing material NASA has developed - or a cheaper substitute) will take place. Corruption remains though so do your part to spread information you find valueable about it and work for transparency.

I live in Sweden where it's hard to imagine that anyone can show such disbelief to the scientific community, here people are reshaping their lives to suit the day of tomorrow.

I'm happy people took something positive to them from it. Too me it seems too missinformative and unclear to be good though.

Cons: • Tries to illustrate the difference between the skeptical voter who focus on the facts and the liberal/green voter who focus on what they feel.

There, fixed it for you! Watch Climate Hustle (2016) instead.
