I'm curious, what about that trailer makes you smack your forehead? I thought it was well made and would have liked to see the series.

I agree completely. The smacking is at the behavior of humanity that is destroying our planet -- the only one we have.

(That means I agree

Wow, excellent video. I completely agree!!

I'm quite sure however that we'll fix it ourselves by doing something stupid and killing off most of us, and if we don't, mother nature will.

Unfortunately very true.

Just like rats and lemmings when the population rises.

I just hope that she knows that I, personally, had nothing to do with it and was in fact, trying to get everyone else to stop!

What if 7 billion people agreed that reducing the misery of billions more now and in the future is a goal we could commit to? Or would pigs fly before that happened?

Pigs would walk on the moon, I'm afraid. Then again, I've been known as a cynic.
