Take one part condescending Hollywood liberal d==chebag. Who is somehow surprised California is suffering from a drought !! Mix one part condescending New York Times liberal d==chebag. Who never met a redistribution scheme he didn't like. Talk to some American farmers growing things we have no business growing (eg. almonds in the desert). Talk to some African nomads who are more interested in waging war on one another than actively working toward making better lives for themselves. Add some bleak photography. Layer on some scary talk about ''national security.'' Blame Western civilization for polluting the globe. Overlook how our exploitation of resources has led to the highest standard of living in Earth's history. Completely ignore how China's pollution makes us look like a continent full of Amish. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Ya got yourselves a Western Guilt series. Anyone who wants to see bleak photos mixed with honest, non-alarmist reporting check out Slate.com's series on the California drought from, if I recall, 2015. Surprisingly balanced and informative journalism for a left-wing propaganda rag.

Famous personalities including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Harrison Ford and Michael C. Hall catch the general public's eye and lead them to a discussion of a very important topic. Real life examples of the effects of climate change help to make connections to a technically complex scientific model of the future worldwide environment. Although no single weather event can be blamed unambiguously on global warming, it is shown how the likelihood of extreme events in general will probably increase in frequency as worldwide temperatures rise. Climate change deniers and skeptics are treated with respect and shown the experimental evidence that they disagree with. Thanks to all involved in the making of the series.

Just don't listen to the "One Star Votes" their arguments are so flawed i don't even know where to start.All the episodes so far had nothing to do with the participants being rich or anything else.The arguments in here are nothing new , though an eye opener they should be for all religious people on how, and here comes the contradictory part for them, believing in science can be possibly being religious, one thing i really like about the show.The sheer science and blatant evidence you see, has nothing to do with what biased comments you get of "The One Star Votes", so just don't even bother reading them.It is a really good show and the means of transport to getting the message across in here, are in this case Celebrities, nothing wrong with that if you ask me.Just watch it some episodes will baffle you on what mindless RAPE is committed on nature just for money.

We are often told that rich people are evil. This documentary proves otherwise. The rich people in the series have a heart of gold.Indeed. These super-rich people briefly left their mansions and glorious life styles to tell us that we really, really don't want to have their mansions and glorious life styles. The fate of the world is at stake. They flew around the world in private jets (the film crews flew coach, we hope) telling us to "cool it".You see, there are still parts on this blue planet where it is common for a 20-year-old mother to have seen two or three of her children die from diseases that are entirely preventable. Something as simple as access to electricity would do it (i.e. cheap energy with which to boil water). However, these super-rich people are telling her she cannot have an electric generator because, they say, 95% of scientists hypothesize it "could" harm the planet. And, shrug, the death of her children is the price to pay to save the planet from doom.According to the World Health Organization, I quote, "more 6 million children under the age of five died in 2012. More than half of these early child deaths are due to conditions that could be prevented or treated with access to simple, affordable interventions".The bottom line of the documentary? The children of the poor need to continue dying so that the children of the super-rich inherit a better world. And if it turns out that the fate of the world is not at stake, well, the children that have died are the children of the poor.
