"we need both high-level systemic change and widespread individual behavior change. That’s one of the lessons of the coronavirus pandemic: “flattening the curve” demands both central planning and leadership, and individual sacrifice."

@strypey I thought a lot of what was in it was either debunked or really out of date?
@MrNarrow I questioned a lot of the details even as I watched it. But censoring it is not the way to deal with that. It does raise some important questions about the way climate change is being addressed as a single issue, rather than holistically as part of the larger environmental crisis. They blame an overly cozy relationships between some environmental NGOs and industry players, which may or may not be the cause, and I think they overstate that case. But that's not unusual in activist films.
@strypey yes I disagree with censorship in general. I really question the motives of the film though, in a lot of ways I feel it does more harm than good for the cause, basically giving people more justification to continue burning fossil fuels and ignoring greener alternatives.
Do yourself a favour, watch some of the videos debunking it if you haven't already, you'll see that a lot of the information in the film, is so out of date that it can largely be ignored.
