As someone who has spent a large part of his life studying science, I found this film a welcome and refreshing contrast to the incessant the-end-is-near warnings that most of us are being fed on a daily basis. It uses a very simple but effective format: short but to-the-point interviews with distinguished and experienced scientists coupled with charts and data that anyone can follow.
Aside from the scientific aspects, but equally important, the film also brings up some of the social and potentially devastating effects of the current climate policies. Even though this part may already be an eye-opener for some, perhaps the filmmakers should have spent a little bit more time to show just how futile most of the "energy transition" actually is (the current ambitions are mathematically unfeasible). In any case, this chapter should be required knowledge for all - including both policy makers and voters.
A part of the film that I found disturbing was when some scientists shared how they had been ostracized from the community, simply by sharing their results and speaking up for the hypotheses they believed to be right. This censoring, if one thinks about its consequences for the future, may be most damaging for the development of science.
Although this reviewer has a broad background in science, no special knowledge of science is needed to understand this film. It is for everybody!
