58KTwo Degrees: The Point of No Return (TV Movie 2017). Two Degrees: The Point of No Return: Directed by Matthew Braley.

From raging fires to epic superstorms, volcanic blasts and rising seas, will human existence be pushed to the brink?
“Iu0026#39;ve watched this twice to try to glean anything more from it than rambling generalizations, apocalyptic visions based on worst case scenarios and outright fear tactics. Number one, The History Channel has devolved into anything BUT history. Itu0026#39;s become another u0026quot;reality showu0026quot; and science fiction channel that produces such gems as u0026quot;Ancient Aliensu0026quot;, u0026quot;Pawn Starsu0026quot;, u0026quot;Nostradamus Effectu0026quot;, u0026quot;Ice Road Truckersu0026quot;, u0026quot;Counting Carsu0026quot;, u0026quot;American Pickersu0026quot; (which is actually a decent show), u0026quot;America Unearthedu0026quot; and other seriesu0026#39; that have nothing to do with history or are in any way educational. This particular 2 hour piece mixes science fiction with a few scant facts based on scenarios that are, AT BEST, pseudo-scientific nonsense. Itu0026#39;s a scaremongeru0026#39;s dream dealing with a VERY unlikely future, using the same old tired and incorrect u0026quot;anthropomorphic global warmingu0026quot; temperature data sets…the same data that is continually being discredited because itu0026#39;s been tampered with. It should not come as a surprise that this is being presented as a u0026quot;likelyu0026quot; scenario and as scientific fact. Indeed it is nothing more than a carefully disguised u0026quot;disaster movieu0026quot;. It is simply pablum for many of the uninformed and frightened masses.”
