I just watched this program on the History Channel and was fascinated. In this age of interest and causes of climate change and the impact it can have on our lives, this program explains a lot. It talks about the impact on history and society and in the last 10 minutes addresses thoughts on the future. However, it has no difinitive causes(s) for the mini-ice age and shows there is much still to learn - and it gives no definite scenario to our future, just possibilities and potentials. Definitely a thought provoking program!

I was so impressed with this program that I bought the DVD for my grandson. It underscores how intertwined weather and history truly are and makes the subject come to life. Well done!

I did like this documentary, especially because it did not continue rehashing same tired facts every fifteen or twenty minutes to bring the viewer up to date on current and relevant events it had already brought to our attention. Omitted certain important facts, however. Facts like the mini-ice age's responsibility for being the cause of the demise of the Viking civilization. And also the reason the island of Greenland, once a lush and fertile land overgrown with trees and grass and populated with people and animals during the great warming, has since become a barren wasteland covered in thick layers of ice and snow, incapable of supporting any type of plant or animal life. Otherwise, even though there are better books on the subject, for a video, it is a captivating documentary.

This scientific dvd is entertaining and informative. You'll learn the truth about the global warming hoax that is being foisted on us!
