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.

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

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