http://www.pbs.org/frontline/heat/ Watch “Heat,” on air and online beginning Tue, Oct 21 on PBS (check local listings).
For years, big business—from oil and coal companies to electric utilities to car manufacturers—has resisted change to environmental policy and stifled the debate over climate change in America and around the globe. Now, facing rising pressure from governments, green groups and investors alike, big business is reshaping its approach to the environment. With the election looming, FRONTLINE producer Martin Smith investigates what some businesses are doing to fend off new regulations and how others are repositioning themselves to prosper in a radically changed world.

How about a …
How about a Frontline on Chemtrails?
talking heads did …
talking heads did this in early 80s,they didnt evn know,I think were toast.I like that,everubody gets it,ded dead,saweet!
Just to comment on …
Just to comment on the trailer itself–it’s just really well made, from the choice of music to the photographic direction.
Best Quote: ” …
Best Quote: “Everthing that has happened WRONG in energy in the US happened because there was a group of voters who put their own needs ahead of our nation”
A FANTASTIC contrast against Obama commercial. First, Frontline shows the lack of vision & leadership american auto companies in dev of NRG eff. cars, then Obama presents the FORD autoworker wondering where his job has gone. He promises to prop up FORD with govt loans, though he already gave FORD subsidies to build unmarketable cars.
Many episodes of …
Many episodes of FRONTLINE, including this one, are available for purchase/download on iTunes.
This was an …
This was an excellent, well made, documentary. Just fantastic. Really good job on the part of the crew, staff, and host. Rare to see a documentary so focused and objective. Excellent.
I wonder if anyone knows where one could download it so I can take it with me on my ipod… sure would be cool to catch wind of that info….
Doesn’t matter, …
Doesn’t matter, economy will collapse within the next few years due to peak oil and skyrocketing energy costs. There are no solutions – sorry. Nature will deal with the population crisis.
Also saw last night …
Also saw last night, very well done. Good presentation of the facts, without getting sensational about it.
Saw this special …
Saw this special last night and they did a great job. It was frank and I liked that Martin Smith called out those CEOs with tough questions that required real answers, not PR fluff. The world has to switch to renewable energy whether you believe in climate change or not. We may have already hit peak oil and coal won’t last forever. If bottomline profits are the driving force, then companies have to change or move out. Toyota is an example that the market is changing and you can still make money.
just watched this …
just watched this documentary and I knew that I was right not to buy a new car from 1 of the big three American automakers.They pushed the big SUV’s on Americans and the losers bought them.This documentary supports my theory that its to late now, no matter what we do.This documentary did not even cover population controls(consumers = disaster)India,China and U.S. special intrests will doom us all, so it really don’t matter.2015 don’t look so human friendly.
Just saw this on …
Just saw this on PBS.Great job Frontline.
frontline should be …
frontline should be disappointed in this biased doc. The earth creates more CO2 than all of MAN so what sense does it make to bury our Co2? Ridiculous…doesn’t bring up anyone on the other side…biased.
It doesn’t mention …
It doesn’t mention that the earth emits more CO2 than all of man by huge margins. They don’t interview anyone on the other side but merely make them see like an oddity an unexplained phenomenon that they choose to just ignore. This is your typical scare doc made for the masses who know nothing about science or common sense. This is ridiculous. One guy in the doc says if we dont stop now that in 10yrs were all screwed..wow..not too bright
PBS isn’t liberal?? …
PBS isn’t liberal??
There’s an excellent book that details the medai’s liberal bias, and it’s well written. The title, “Bias” by Bernard Goldberg.
OPPS!!
They’re …
OPPS!!
They’re supposed to be calling it “CLIMATE CHANGE” not Global Warming. The earth has been cooling for years. That is why Al Gore calls it Climate Change now. He was wrong about the earth warming so he and his crew had to come up with a new name; hence “Climate Change”.
Frontline will hurt the global warming movement with this show. All around the world there are longer, harsher winters and slightly cooler summers.
Thank you Frontline for exposing how flawed this movement is!!
The answer is the …
The answer is the single most important species on earth, Algae. Yes, pond scum is the most important species on earth, responsible for over 50% of the oxygen in the atmosphere. Algae can be used as fuel, or it can sequester CO2 and be buried. But, growing Algae in outdoor farms then using it as fuel creates a carbon neutral cycle. Algae eats CO2 and creates Oxygen as a waste product and up to 1/2 of the weight of algae is veg oil which can be made into diesel, gas, Kerosene, Jet fuel, plastics
People always …
People always imagine politicians can solve the problems. Wrong! It is we who solve the problem. If we don’t pressure the politicians, they will always pick the easy choice, which is called political expedience.
I think PBS is …
I think PBS is rather factual, scientific, comprehensive and objective.
And they say PBS …
And they say PBS isn’t liberal. Try showing this to a conservative, see what they say.
Greatest trailer …
Greatest trailer ever.
looking forward to …
looking forward to seeing this!
obama/biden 2008!! save this world!
iuhuhc: lol …
iuhuhc: lol wouldn’t a bicycle be easier and um less stinky?
We really need to …
We really need to re-invent the way we live…the republican party will have to evolve and begin to use their brains before they can bring ANYTHING to the table, but then again most of the country has to do that too…we cannot just wait for the politicians to tackle this problem and this really needs to happen NOW!!
Why don’t we …
Why don’t we recycle our poop to better use? Like say drive a car with poop fuel?
Responsible …
Responsible regulation is the natural, reasonable control of any system, removing this aspect from nature or human activity lends a free hand to chaos.
