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.

Guardian Claims We’re Still Only Approaching the Climate Point of No Return

The Guardian claims the world is edging toward a climate “point of no return,” where unstoppable warming will lock Earth into a catastrophic “hothouse” future. Yet the geological record tells a very different story. Past periods of far higher temperatures and CO₂ levels did not end life or civilization’s prospects — they supported abundance and evolutionary expansion.

The EV experiment has become a bloodbath — $140 billion wasted — more to come

The electric vehicle push was supposed to reshape the auto industry and accelerate the energy transition. Instead, mounting losses and collapsing share prices are raising serious questions about whether governments and manufacturers misread the market. What began as a bold industrial gamble is now looking, to some critics, like one of the most expensive policy experiments in recent automotive history.
