It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Very good points, loved it.If you attack the consensus, you're called a denier. The inference to being akin to a holocaust denier is not so subtle. Normally polite people resort to name calling, there is a collective hysteria on this issue.

Unfortunately the entire field of climate change has been hijacked by those with undermining political aspirations as well as those who simply want to cash in on the alarmism created by Hollywood and the mass media. In contrast to the constant flood of political and unscientific claims designed specifically to separate you from your money, this movie looks at the real science behind our ongoing climate change and attempts to briefly explain what has happened and what is likely to happen (climate-wise) in our future. Among other clarifications, the movie points out that the claim of what 97% of the scientists supposedly believe is a total fabrication based on very poor and misleading research. Numerous scientists including those from within the IPCC and NASA are interviewed to give their opinions and reasoning on the claimed catastrophic anthropogenic climate warming, which has undergone numerous name changes in reaction to their previous predictions being demonstrated to be nearly 100 percent wrong. Although the field is extensive and still being explored, Climate Hustle attempts to summarize and draw the main features of what we know so far together and present the facts in a manner which will inform but not overwhelm the viewer. In short, our climate future looks good. However, if those pushing the political man-made warming agenda have their way, our financial future will not be as bright. As an interesting overview, Climate Hustle has done an amazing job.

I saw Climate Hustle today and went in as someone without a specific opinion on the topic. I am not a scientist nor is anyone I know. To date, any info I have about climate change came from the electronic box in my living room, the one I'm typing on now or the many "fervent believers" I know, who are not scientists either. (But boy, they've got religion!)However, I have been on the front lines of business (which means: sales, marketing and business owner) for 35 years so I can smell a questionable pitch from a mile away. Which doesn't mean the pitch is bull, it means it's questionable.What has always troubled me about the climate change topic is: -- a) It came about SO quickly and with such desperately urgent action requested = Flag #1 -- b) The primary worldwide spokesperson is a politician = Flag #2 -- c) This former politician (and many other vocal proponents) has made enormous sums of money off the subject he's pitching so ardently = Flag #3 -- d) There is too much supposed consensus on a subject so complex AND a lack of open discussion and debate = Flag #4Okay people, never mind what the topic is -- if you're an adult, who thinks, then those first 3 items related to any pitch should give you a mighty pause.Regarding the movie: if you consider it as another part of your information gathering regarding this complicated topic then you'll learn some things. I didn't love the attempts to entertain and amuse but understand why the film maker felt the need (in America, most have to be entertained in order to get their attention) nor some of the choppy editing. Rather I would have enjoyed more in-depth interviews with some of the important scientists featured. But, their points were made and I was much relieved to witness that there are still some people in this world who will openly reverse course when they realize their initial viewpoint was wrong or inadequately supported. Those are courageous people.I felt the taped panel discussion at the end added to the effort. Whereas, I wouldn't have chosen Sarah Palin to be on it (she may have value to add but articulation is simply NOT her thing), I guess she provided some notoriety. The other two were the film maker and a climatologist and they offered worthy information.The movie is worth your time as food for thought and a counterpoint to all of the one-sided info coming our way in the mainstream media.

I found it enlightening that so many scientists are questioning "global warming". After all we keep hearing that 97% of scientists agree that humans cause climate change, aka global warming. This movie actually shows how that 97% was acquired. Turns out that the sample size was only 67 people. When I was in college, my statistics class would never had allowed me to use such a small sample size. Not only was this 97% made up of so very few, but most were not even climate scientists. Humm, the news on TV never mentions this. As that matter goes the press fails to report the news on global warming accurately. One question they never did get around to was why doesn't the media report the real facts? I do recommend watching it if for no other reason than to get the other side of the story. When it comes out on DVD, I will have to buy it so that I can determine if all of the facts stated were correct.
