A sober, smart and blunt environmental-catastrophe-to-come documentary.

Does a solid job of dealing with the problem but with enough originality that it's not an exact duplication of the Gore film.

Michael Taylor and Karen Coshof's slickly made documentary serves as a tidy primer on climate change, making up in breadth what it lacks in exhortation.

... The Great Warming, along with An Inconvenient Truth, the other widely released documentary to address climate change this year, should be required viewing by all.

How about a well-sustained argument for saving the planet instead of this round-robin approach?

An impressive parade of scientists, meteorologists and grassroots activists assert that humanity is capable of adapting to a changing climate, building sustainable communities without sacrificing modern-day comforts and even reversing some of the damage.

The tone is pure eighth-grade AV-club infotainment.
