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.

No, Washington Post, ‘Carbon Pollution’ Isn’t Making Food Less Healthy
Carbon dioxide is not a toxin to crops, as The Washington Post recently claimed. Demonizing it as the “invisible force” behind nutritional decline ignores the broader picture, says Anthony Watts. “The Washington Post has taken a modest statistical decline in select minerals and inflated it into a planetary health crisis.”

There is no climate emergency, says Clintel’s World Climate Declaration signatory. Thomas Kurz is the author of an upcoming book with that very theme. Recently he spoke about it on Tom Nelson’s podcast.
Why solar is much more expensive than coal in Germany
The more solar and wind energy is deployed, the more it reshapes the system around it and the more costs shift into areas that are often not immediately visible but should be considered, says energy expert Lars Schernikau.
