Global Warning, a genuine attempt to be objective about climate
Canadian filmmaker Mathew Embry (Painkiller: Inside the Opioid Crisis) has released a remastered edition of his 2019 climate documentary Global Warning. It is more relevant than ever and is one of the few genuine attempts by the media to take a truly objective look at the climate debate.

In 2019, the documentary Global Warning challenged Canada to have a honest conversation about climate change, conventional energy, Indigenous voices, environmental activism, and the future of the country. Today, that conversation matters more than ever. Filmmaker Mathew Embry (Living Proof, Painkiller: Inside the Opioid Crisis) has released a remastered edition of the documentary that dared to ask the questions few others would.
You can see the entire documentary below in the enhanced, remastered edition:
Global Warning returns to a world that has caught up to its message. The fears have shifted. The policies are changing. The stakes have never been higher. And the human cost of how we power our lives has never been more visible. This is a film built on contradictions it refuses to resolve for you. A celebrated climate campaigner who believes Canada has never met a target it couldn’t miss. A self-made business titan watching his life’s work hollowed out. Scientists who question the catastrophe. An indigenous elder who speaks not of carbon or quotas, but of the children we leave behind — “it’s written in rock,” he says, “not on paper.”
Global Warning refuses to pick a side for you. It is, in Embry’s words, a “pro-human” film, one that holds space for the warming planet and the people whose lives are upended by the policies meant to save it. The world hasn’t ended. The conversation is just beginning.

Dutch Climate ‘Hero’ Donald Pols Had Far-Right Past; Friends of the Earth Knew
Donald Pols was one of the most recognisable figures in the Dutch environmental movement. In 2021, he achieved a landmark victory when a Dutch court ruled that Shell must accelerate its emissions reductions. Following his highly controversial move to Tata Steel last month, it has now emerged that Pols was chairman of the Afrikaner Student Front (ASF) during his youth—a far-right student organisation that opposed the dismantling of apartheid. Friends of the Earth Netherlands, his former employer, has been aware of this part of his past for at least five years.
