    OK I watched it.
    Lots of (equal opportunity) cheap shots but overall I agree many Americans are delusional. Going back to the ethanol mandate of 1990, the winning logic in the USA has been if something (such as biomass burning) is bad for the fossil fuel industry, that fact by itself proves it is good for society.

    The apparent growth of biomass (tree) burning is interesting. Here in Virginia we have for decades bragged about our wood-burning as a highly beneficial renewable practice (much to the chagrin of enviros) but I did not realize that practice was apparently becoming so wide-spread elsewhere.

    I liked the 1958 science guy in the intro talking about the pending climate change disaster. When I was in grade school we watched many science movies with that guy as the "science-guy" of yesteryear.
