Showtime has ordered Years Of Living Dangerously, a documentary series which explores the human impact of climate change. It is executive produced by James Cameron, Jerry Weintraub and Arnold Schwarzenegger, along with Emmy-winning 60 Minutes producers Joel Bach and David Gelber, and climate expert Daniel Abbasi. Matt Damon, Don Cheadle and Alec Baldwin will narrate the series, which will feature first-person accounts of those affected by — and seeking solutions to — global warming. Also expected to join the project is actor Edward Norton, with more names to be announced soon. Reporting from the field is a team of New York Times journalists including three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas Friedman, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Nicholas Kristof, as well as columnist Mark Bittman, and MSNBC host and political commentator Chris Hayes, among others. Years Of Living Dangerously will air in 2013 as a six-to-eight-episode hourlong series. “The recent devastation on the East Coast is a tragic reminder of the direct link between our daily lives and climate change,” said Showtime entertainment president David Nevins. Added Cameron, “We’ll make it exciting. We’ll make it investigative. We’ll bring people the truth. And people are always hungry for the truth.” Additionally, the series is also executive produced by Maria Wilhelm (Avatar Alliance Foundation).

Sounds like typical liberal BS. I don’t dispute, if humans treat the planet badly, bad things are to come.
But as to Nevins saying, “The recent devastation on the East Coast is a tragic reminder of the direct link between our daily lives and climate change,” give me a break. What are you, Nevins, a scientist? Or a TV programmer? Where’s the proof that this devastation is the result of climate change and human behavior?
What about past climate catastrophes on record from decades ago?
Why is this one different?
STUPID LIBERALS. You do damage to the truth of an important issue by spouting idiotic assumptions based on nothing.
Now now, James, you will upset their Utopian view of the world. Tis the world of the entertainment bubble.
There was a hurricane on Halloween. In New York City. As opposed to August in Miami. The Earth has gotten warmer, as evidenced by the melting polar ice caps, and our weather is getting more extreme. Yelling insults is not a solution.
Great news! Incredibly important topic that needs all the attention it can get. An important show no matter what the ratings are like.
I wonder if they’ll try and explain the cause of the Great Dust Bowl back in the 1930′s. One year seen 37 straight days of 100 degrees or hotter in Western Nebraska, Western Kansas, the Panhandle of Oklahoma, West Texas and Eastern Colorado.
Must have been all of those SUV’s, and big pickup trucks that caused it. Right?
Will they cover the University of East Anglia’s phony global-warming data, aka Climategate?
Now that the whole house of cards is collapsing and they desperately switch to “climate change!!!!!!” to keep the funding loot rolling in, it’ll be interesting to watch the lamestream media ignore the truth.
One discredited study does not invalidate thousands of others conducted properly.
“People are always hungry for the truth”. Is this the same James Cameron who claimed to find the tomb of Jesus Christ? Ya, historical scholars really flocked to his banner, didn’t they? /sarc
Wow, DLH such tolerance for paid, big oil trolls posting anti-science drivel.
You guys are nuts! It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that we are destroying the earth! Mostly from over population, but we are doing a lot of damage! No matter, the earth will shake us of like a case of fleas when its had enough.
Jim I trust that you walk the walk to back up all your talk.
You surely have intentionally never had any children, live very simply, walk or bike everywhere, always bring your own reusable shopping bags and otherwise live a perfectly sustainable, carbon-neutral life. Never buying indulgences from some Carbon oligarch, I mean carbon offsets, for your jet-setting, SUV-driving, multiple large home-owning lifestyle.
Or are you like so many other hypocritical anti-humans who espouse mass poverty and death (for “other people”) so that the Earth Mother can finally be rid of her ” excess humans problem” while splitting your time between your two floor Park Ave. penthouse overlooking Central Park, a villa in Tuscany, and in a 12,000 square foot home on the beach in Malibu?
So ….. by own words “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that we are destroying the earth!” followed by “the earth will shake us of like a case of fleas when its had enough”. Is that your admission that we CANNOT destroy the Earth? Sounds like it.
I personally enjoy the dweebs who claim “science” as their support for man made global warming but refute the actual historic data like the Dust Bowl, the retreat of the Greenland Ice Sheet revealing agriculture and the fact that we used to be covered with ice during the Ice Age. My SUV did not cause the melting then, and it is not causing it now.
I’m canceling my Showtime subscription. I intentionally do not subscribe to HBO any longer because of their majority leftist programming, but I do have a cable package that includes Showtime and Starz.(though I rarely watch it) Now I have incentive(excuse) to also put a lifetime ban on Showtime.
The thing about so-called man-made global warming is even if true(it’s not), Russia, India and China aren’t altering their habits, so if the West cut back it doesn’t matter. Again, it’s turning into a religion where we must not omit carbon to please the sky god or satisfy some OCD, because bicycling to work or driving a coal-powered Prius isn’t making a difference. Again, you can cut back all you want, people in China will make up for it.
