This is the biggest fear-mongering piece of trash I've ever seen and it's got a 2 hour block of prime time space on a major network. I'd call this irresponsible for an issue that's so controversial and debated.

What the heck is this?
It's amazing how over the line they're crossing now. This is just blatant propaganda.
Sadly, they've gained probably a million more converts.

Maybe they're trying to compensate for this before it airs...

I didn't see this, but from the sounds of it, it seems very similar to a lot of the stuff they show on Discovery and National Geographic, they make crap up all the time and present it as fact, computer-generated dinosaurs and all.

I read the comments on ABC's site and man, what a bunch of wackos on there. These people should hook up with the group that sits in forests and cries for trees.

HA! Take that, hippies.

They do more to the trees than just cry for them.

So, watching some of the videos, they're forecasting a plague of dragonflies on Miami, water rationing in LA, extreme weather everywhere and of course its not Obama's fault b/c "Nobody listened to him and he's just one man." Wow...liberal lunacy is getting more mainstream everyday.

I only watched it for about 10 minutes. But it was just building theory on the back of more theory and it was building up to the point of absurdity. and then there was like these faux viral videos of people that were supposed to be living in the future. That to me was what I thought was irresponsible. It's not like there's no downside to everything "going green". I really feel it was true 1950's communist style propaganda. I'm really surprised that there aren't more articles from outraged anti-global warming columnists.

I read somewhere that they used a couple comic/graphic novel authors to create most of this thing.

Yeah, this was really over the top. I guess missing part of your skull due to iraqi IEDs doesn't grant clairvoyance.
