5.0 out of 5 stars Environmental Conscience, February 16, 2007

By	A. J. Cruz (Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Too Hot Not to Handle is an excellent documentary that everyone should watch and share with other. We need to aware everyone about the climate changes that our planet is undergoing and the effects it will have on our lives if individuals and governments do not do something about it.

The documentary is very clear and easy to understand. Scientific facts are presented in a clear and simple so everyone can comprehend the importance of this issue. It is a great documentary that may be discussed by teachers and educators in general, on science and social courses.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must See!, December 7, 2006

By	Sandra "Prof. Engineer" (PR) - See all my reviews

In this movie many scientists explain different consequences of global warming very clearly. Then they explain many potential solutions and things that are currently being done in several states of US to help stop it. It's a great movie. BTW, it explains that the global Warming is a global average, but in different parts of the World we should expect to see unbalance in the weather, extremes, either very hot, or cooler than usual. That doesn't mean there is not global warming, just that a regional area has colder temperatures is part of the climate change, but overall the average temperature is indeed warming.
I even liked this movie better than An Inconvenient Truth, which is a great eye-opener but doesn't have much about what can be done and is being done to solve this problem that we brought into ourselves.

By	L. Bartlett "villa naranja" (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie goes beyond the normal information about global warming. It helped me understand what global warming really is about and all the areas it touches. Everyone should see this movie.
