“potentially good but most likely crap movie. this however seems to be some sort of conspiracy/propagandist documentary film.” And what movies have YOU made may i ask “Yankee”?,Ow Right,Yeah…NONE,so maybe your opinion is whats most likely crap …And if you think oil world domination is some sort of a “propaganda conspiracy” i would HATE to see what passes as “stomachable truth” to you…LOL

I live in the worst part of the states .. ‘the south’ .
But I grew up in L.A. CA. The people here in the south really let others (ie Fox, and other radio personalities) do the thinking for them. It’s sad but unfortunately true! Hopefully with the internet, the youth will be able to inform themselves rather than listening to these racist rightwing rednecks.

Quick where’s my Simpsons dvd, I need some balanced opinions..

Big Oil, like all publicly owned companies, have to please their shareholders. *long pause* That’s it, end of story. No matter what any CEO personally thinks about the situation, he must, BY LAW, do what is best for shareholders. Watch “The Corporation” to get an idea. The people aren’t evil, they’re just following the rules of the game. The game is the problem.

We can’t keep running the world like this.. bad commerce, bad politics, bad decisions. We, who are free enough to discuss this, are a small group in a world of suffering and repressed peoples. But how do we use our success? We burn it, leave nothing for anyone else, in fact STEAL resources from 3rd world countries while their people starve, then wonder “why do they hate us?”

This is an interesting time to live in.. we’re starting to “wake up”. It a lot like The Matrix actually… we’re waking up from our blessed ignorance and seeing how we’ve wrecked the world. It’s our machines, but we don’t have the excuse of saying they’re sentient. We’re running them, we’ve done the damage.

So, as Rage Against the Machine said – WAKE UP. They didn’t write it just for The Matrix u know… they wrote it because that’s how they see it in our times. They’re right.

Im not going tosee this movie but its not the point.
Global warming does exist and is the resaon for the fact that here now is +3 C when the first 20 years of my life it was never warmer than -10 by christmas.

Maybe its jesus that has turned up the heater a little.You naive morons try to understand that denying it is not going to take it away.

Anyways I guess its the American way, just deny what you dont like or are afraid of and invent any lie to justify your actions when it comes to ruining the lives of the people of the world.

Ask for what is causing the world’s temperatures to rise, that’s another question. The fact that temperatures are rising is of concern, for everyone on this planet.

Instead of living in denial, or blaming everything else, you might ask, what can we do to stabilize the situation.

Does creating pollution make this planet a better place for all? Scientist all over the world and common sense tells you that pollution doesn’t make a better place for all to live.

Every automobile burning gasoline creates deadly exhaust fumes. Don’t beleive me, then stick your nose in the exhaust pipe when the automobile engine is turned on and breathe in these fumes for yourself to experience.

Everything on this planet is limited, and that does include oil. So even if you all think pollution isn’t bad, or whatever, given time ahead, there will be no more oil to burn. Then how will you and the rest of the world enjoy all those things that oil once produced?

The facts are, developing countries use energy, which oil among concrete, steel and electronics play a huge role. I am sure everyone reading this blog is using some form of technology, be the electricity used to power your computer, the computer itself you are using, and certainly the Internet connection, etc…

All technologies are tools, but how we use them is of most concern, as knowledge by itself isn’t wise, it’s when we apply our wisdom in what we do that does…

There is nobody on this planet that cannot say, change isn’t taking place. The question is are you going to CARE about how these changes, so you can adapt, or change with these changes or find yourself unable to cope, to deal with the given situation?

By the way, the very air you breathe, isn’t made by humans. Where do you think all this air comes from? If you destroy the environment by polluting it, or you fail to protect this niche to insure your own survival, then you have failed for no other reason but your own stupidity, as everyone knows we are NOT doing enough to take care of what we already have.

The oceans, the land, the very skies that make up our environment are becoming more polluted. This pollution is human made, by human beings.

The solution is to change our economy to a green recyclable and sustainable system, not based upon greed and corruption for the acquisition of wealth.

We can all fight over the limited resources, killing each other, or we could and should realize the importance to cooperate together to find solutions that provide us all the answers to these problems.

Another thing, why are you so afraid to be part of the solution? Maybe you NEVER learned to love this world or another?

One thing is sure, our past thinking is what got us where we are today, so it’s going to require something new for us ahead to change our beliefs, our ways of thinking to allow new solutions.

We simply cannot afford to conduct business as usual, to assume the Earth is flat, at the center of the Universe. We need to be responsible, as individuals, as businesses and as governments. All things make models of themselves, and so we ourselves can become a part of the whole solution or we can continue this wasteful denial.

What do you care?

you know why US have the largest world economy? because they’re PRINTING worthless dollars 24/7. printing is the key of its “economic sucess”.

Methane is almost 40 times more effective as greenhouse gas. Most of humanity produced methane is made in CHINA on RICE FIELDS because of rotting in the water.

!Stop eating rice – save the Earth!

In fact the irony is, the company and other related companies only did what we could get away with legally in the worst case, if we chose to go down that path.

So its up to you the people and your legislators to ensure a free and accountable society if you live in a democracy, and well if not then tough luck I guess.

Grass roots activism is quite powerful. In America, it will only be at the behest of the people that any of these souless wankers we call politicians will bother doing anything about green tech and global warming. Remember they reflect you, not the other way around.

Petroleum will be around for quite some time, we will continue to use it. That does not mean we cant make massive investments into green technology and subisidise it now.

By the way, a lot of the energy companies have massive green initiatives. In the future they will become integrated ‘energy companies’. Don’t be surprised down the track if your new house you will be buying panels from BP’s Solar Division, or Hydrogen from Chevron.

The oil companies will survive, adapt and diversify. They have people working on it right now.

I like it in the US and I go there at least 3 times a year, mostly to NY and LA for work. But I still can’t believe intelligent adult people can life as most Americans do. As someone here describes it, most people take their SUV out of the garage to go buy a pack of potato chips.

Considered that most Americans do not even know exactly what countries Europe consists of without consulting some wiki, the question a 16year old asked me three weeks ago in NY explains itself: “Do you have fridges in Europe?” Praise ignorance.

But I won’t let an ignorant giant destroy Earth. Who was the ONLY country not to agree on putting some numbers into the final agreement during last week’s climate conference in Bali? The US. At the same time, the US is the numer one CO2 producing country. Wonderful.

@48: you are so right. Ignoring Global Warming or just saying it doe not regard you is simply not going to work.
Remember Colin Powell sitting at the UN’s Security Council and telling the world because of “hard evidence” Iraq had to be invaded? Yes, as they say in Matrix One: “Ignorance Is Bliss”.

Somewhere in this thread somebody wrote “I don’t owe the Earth anything. Say no to recycling!” (@7). Well Malarkey, don’t you think the simple fact that you can say “I” and that you have a ground to stand on are more than enough?

Last but not least: the film that gave all of us the reason to start this discussion already made its point, if it’s good or not does not really matter. But it wakes people up, even here.
