This is a potential world my children will experience. You can call it fear mongoring and every other rhetorical partisan insult. Having studied climatology the only populace of people on this planet with any validity in this subject say this is not far from the reality they expect.. Only conservatives in this country are brazen to stand up to the entire scientific comunity and say "You are wrong". That would be the equivelant of My dog telling stephen Hawking to find a new job its just not working out. Listen to the giants of science we owe our world to their discoveries... If some one is viamenty opposing this concept chances are they have a vested interest in the status quo. History will prove the usual side correct.. It always has,,,

Say what you want about the delivery of the message. So far it is one of a few main stream programs to tackle this issue. I was always taught to criticize the message not the delivery. If your complaint is that you couldn't watch it because Pixar like characters didn't tell the story then you have no business reviewing scientific ideas and the methods used to educate the masses of these complex issues. The reality posed in Earth 2100 is a stark reminder that to this date no civilization has survived indefinitely. Every major civilization has perished most due to the over productivity of its population allowing uncontrolled growth.
This time the entire earth is in this state not just the Maya or the Egyptians.. There is no where to go we must change our ways or we will be changed. There are no examples in history that contribute to the notion of continuous growth without repercussion. China is catching up with us in terms of per capita consumption. This is going to lead to a fight of one kind or another. To quote Chamberlain "We have no permanent enemies nor friends, We have only permanent interests" Basses in Afghanistan, Iraq, Japan. If climate models are correct and I hope they are not. The fight is just about to begin and in the end the damage may be done.. I am sorry the cartoon didn't take your fancy. It's not only not important it's sad.

I, for one, was not impressed. This piece of journalistic garbage was filled with junk science, conjecture, and fiction. It seemed to be nothing more than globalist propaganda. Not surprising, given that Bob Woodruff is a globalist himself. The problem nowadays is that people are too stupid and will believe anything they see on television. Personally, I don't fear environmental catastrophe. What I truly fear is our out-of-control government intent on bankrupting and enslaving the citizenship in any way possible. They won't force you into FEMA camps; you'll gladly go.

I recorded the program to watch later. It isn't anything I am not already aware could happen, but it's scary to see it all in one program. For those people who think it's all a fantasy, fine. It's your descendents who will die, among others. Personally, I don't like the idea of being a senior citizen in a world gone crazy so I'm working on my own plan for survival and will also try to enlist the interest of my extended family in planning as best we can for continuity.

I am amazed at some of the comments about Earth 2100 and the fact that people still do not get the idea of what is happening to our planet, comments like I am glad I missed it, I would like my evening back, you missed nothing. Where in this series is this not a plasible situation for this planet. Scare tactics, maybe; but how else to you awaken those who still have their head up their butt and think it is all a joke.

Let's look at what Hawaii has become now and what it was just 50 years ago, or Alaska or even the USA. We put our trash in the ground and it produces methane gas, our oceans are polluted from all the sea dumping of trash and medical waste that some can't put into the sea, species of animals have become extinct, thank God for zoo's, do you not think these creations are not vital to our planet.

How many viruses and diseases have hit the planet with devastating effects, and think of the one's that are still hibernating so to speak that haven't awakend and only God knows what havoc they will bring.

I am from Niagara Falls, and I know the damage the Love Canal did to lives then and now. I am a Viet Nam veteran and again know what Agent Orange did to lives then and now.

We all need to face the facts that two plus two still add up to four.

I liked Earth 2100. I liked the animation style and thought that the "special effects" were appropriate for that chosen style. But that is beside the point.

The message is what matters. The message is timely and, frankly, I was excited to see a corporate-funded network broadcast this program. For decades, this message has been relegated to the tributary networks of cable television.

I have been following this story -- the "we're destroying the earth as fast as we can" story -- for about four years now. I knew most of the commentators and have read their books. They have been speaking out on these issues for years, always on the fringe but moving closer to the mainstream.

Earth 2100 was, after nearly 40-years in the closet, the re-debut of these very important ecological issues on a mainstream stage.

Diddling about the animation style is just a cheap way to avoid the real conversation. If you missed it, I recommend that you find it and view it with your family. Our children will be living in the world we leave them.

Collapse nor Progress happen overnight. People need to work at it. Which direction are you pushing?

ABC TVs "Earth 2100" Bias Bomb
ABC television dropped a cynical, eco-fringe-biased bomb with its two-hour "Earth 2100" Tuesday night program. The entrenched, partisan environmental lobby has, yet again, shown its dishonesty in this radical piece of Orwellian fear mongering by the mainstream media. Here the climate debate deniers spin apocalyptic scenarios from the musings of climate-crusading spokesmen, the progressive nonprofits and the partisan political vanguard. The rank duplicity and perverse manipulation of Earth 2100 would both shame and honor the propaganda of Gore and Goebbels.

Earth 2100 is a dark coming-of-age story told through the voiceover and eyes of "Lucy" -- a human cartoon character who is born in 2009, and who lives through the earth's chaotic demise from global warming during the 21st century. Intercut with the depressing victims of Lucy's dying environment of global ecological collapse, disease, food and water shortage wars and environmental refugees are the sanctimonious and utopian ecopolitical talking points of today's environmentalism. Not so subtly, all of this is to convince you that carbon control (not Islamic terrorism nor nuclear proliferation) is the most important problem facing man and earth's survival, and that you should vote for the global-green and Obama agendas. These are radical agendas for central government controls on critical energy development, costly carbon cap-and-trade taxes, carmakers, capital markets, healthcare, etc. Earth 2100 also promotes the fanciful theories of a new green economy, and an endless partisan list of smart ideas for government-enforced change in your lifestyles, culture and liberties. As is the practice in eco-propaganda, no mention of the cost/benefits of these progressive ideas is provided.

Ecopolitics have become the central front in the war on individual freedom and capitalism. 21st century environmentalism has abandoned scientific rigor because the packaging of partisan political narratives is a more powerful propaganda tool in an age of superficial pop-cultural politics and gullible media complicity.

How about the fact that the whole 'frog boiling' thing is apocryphal and not a hint of what a frog would really do?

I actually thought it was alright, yes it was rather cheesey, but its the younger generation that will be more effected by it, they should have more WALL-E~esque type programs to "scare em straight." animations work. anyway people need to realize that resources are scarce and it really will take another major disaster or crisis for people to make changes which will be too late, Earth 2100 at put that into light atleast.

I would like my evening back! What a colossal waste of time filled with fear mongering and useless, inaccurate information.

I especially loathed the ending where they basically said if we all hugged and threw away our cars we'd all be part of a utopia that is unimaginable. I fully expected to see Barney start narrating as his "I love you, you love me" theme song played in the background.
