EP4 Fueling The Fire Nov 16, 2016

Action hero, politician, climate crusader and Years of Living Dangerously executive producer Arnold Schwarzenegger sets out to explore the military’s relationship with a changing climate, including how our armed forces are dealing with an increasing number of climate-related disasters and how the military is working to reduce its own carbon footprint. Schwarzenegger travels to Kuwait to visit soldiers and travel in a fuel convoy (where more than 3,000 soldiers have been killed or injured since 9/11). He learns how serious a threat the military perceives climate change to be, talks to top-level military leaders and meets the brave men and women who are dealing with climate change threats and disasters on the front lines. The battle to save the Amazon in Brazil — the “lungs of the planet” — is the ultimate race against time. There are ever-increasing threats from cattle ranching, drought, deforestation, massive hydroelectric dams and illegal mining. Supermodel and activist Gisele Bündchen travels to her home country to see the extent of the damage and investigates what’s being done to save the rainforest for all of us. Deep in the Amazon, she joins the national environmental police on a mission to put an end to illegal deforestation; in Alta Floresta, she meets with Greenpeace for a flyover of the forest, which reveals huge patches of deforested land, logs piled high on trucks and barges, drought-stricken fields, burnt rainforests and vast cattle ranches that were once lush, thousand-year-old tropical rainforests.

Reviews

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
Benas Mcloughlin Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
davidklausa As someone who already understands the basics of climate change, I find little to learn from this show. It's basically celebrities asking very naive questions, softballs to get an easily impactful line. Cheadle, Ford, and Friedman are boring and humorless. The camera pans to closeups of handshakes and guns, trying a little too hard to create an atmosphere of foreboding. The typical Gore-bashing argument of flying in private jets etc. does seem especially on display here, although somebody has to fly around doing some journalism if messages are to be spread. The actual content of the show is educational. If you don't know anything about climate change and respect actors, you can get something out of this.
Malcolm A. Rose A must-see series, but rather obviously aimed at a mass audience, comfortable in their well-insulated houses. Nevertheless, must-see! Arguments presented for and against the global-warming theory are trivial at best. Perhaps the most interesting part is wondering whether the journalists and "scientists" portrayed realize that the hypocrisy of their luxurious and obviously energy-intensive life-styles shown here is the very reason that ordinary people do not take them seriously.There is an excellent interview with President Obama which has totally countered my previous negative impression of him.
Jonathan Frost 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.
George Lawrence Per America's knowledge, most smart Americans know that global warming is a big hoax. I wasn't too knowledgeable on climate change so I decided to give this documentary a look. I watched the first episode and I started to realize that this documentary doesn't contain any reliable scientific evidence. I decided to do some research on climate change. I stayed up all night for two nights reading up on global warming and this documentary doesn't tell the truth. This is a brain-washing documentary. They said that 97% of scientists say climate change is happening. I read up on that statistic and found it was fake. How does such a documentary end up on television? Why are Americans starting to believe this stuff? I live in Houston, TX and there was ice for 4 days on the roads... IN HOUSTON!!!! My kid's school cancelled school 4 times!!!! There hasn't been any warming since the 1980s!!! DON'T WATCH THIS!! DON'T BE BRAINWASHED!!
