I was of two minds on this. It does have some advocacy but it also shows one of the earliest TV programs discussing the issue in ways that even @mojo might understand . . . except we know he chooses another belief system.

I knew about CO{2} and what it did to Venus back in the 1960s so it never occurred to me that it wasn't an accepted fact . . . except by the anti-floride water nuts. I still find it hard to take seriously the counter claims and am amused when someone tries to say wind and solar are too expensive so we have to (or should) burn fossil fuels.

I'm fairly sanguine because nature doesn't really care about the opinions of our species. The best we can do is change our opinions to match nature but that is no sure bet either. After all, Jonestown, Heavens Gate, and other suicide groups have and no doubt will continue to exist for their short lives.
