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.

Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables
The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced.
