What are your thoughts on "earth 2100"

Watching on History channel right now. I guess it was originally aired on ABC in June of 09. It was supposed to be aired in Sept 08, I wonder why they changed the presentation date? I did not know of this gem until this morning.

Rika, the weather is globally warm.

It is a Documentary? Hypothesis? Propaganda film? about the effects on pollution and overpopulation and such. It has a very heavy undertone of global warming. I was just wondering if anyone had seen it and if they have what their thoughts were on it.

I saw it and liked it a lot. It covers everything from glocal warming to pollution...

The predictions being made about our time 50 years ago were far enough off. This 90 year stuff should give people plenty to point and laugh at when 2100 comes around.
