Watch Racing Extinction For Free

Too much of everything

An Exercise In Nonsense

Admirable film.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This is a must watch for anyone remotely interested in sustainability or other issues related to Global warming and the future. Even if you aren't an environmentally conscious person you should watch it to realize how much the media sways us. (Great documentary-a must watch).

This is the height of liberal greenie madness. I am so sorry to tell you that even you are a member of that "MAN" species that you are blaming for the so called extinction. I have a question for you morons? How do you know that nature did not make man to do exactly this? Maybe we are meant to kill off these species so that the future man machine species takes over. How dare you suggest that we should leave the planet so that ants can continue or some such animal. I could care less about any species that dies off. Who cares! It is only important if my species survives and that may be something you have not considered if you support this idiotic production. Thank god that people like the ones that made this are not running the world. If 90% of all the species die and we do not then that is just fine by me!

This should be a mandatory documentary in schools or on television. Everybody should be obliged to watch Racing Extinction. Not tomorrow but today. Even though I think it is already too late. Not that we could not change everything if everybody would act and think rationally. But that's the problem of our planet. Most people are driven by greed, possession, having everything as fast as possible, mass consumption etc... Nobody seems to care what the future will be for their children. I have none, and will never have any, but I'm still concerned about what we are doing to our planet. We humans are the parasite of the Earth. It could be reversed but I honestly have not much hope. Anyways, watch this, it's sometimes beautiful, sometimes very hard, but it's the truth. I cried like almost a third of the documentary, but it was worth watching it. I can only recommend this highly!

An excellent overview of the situation which all inhabitants of the earth are facing. While I didn't much care for the "Save the Whales" mentality which bookends this documentary, I do recognize that this is a point to which the general public can relate. The core of the issue is found in the middle third of this film: acidification. To summarize; what good is saving whales, dolphins, tuna, or seahorses now if all sea life will be extinct in the 23rd century? Kelp and jellyfish excluded. That is the issue of ocean acidification which excess CO² exacerbates, so watch that portion of this documentary twice. Then perhaps watch a Ted Talk or read a book on this specific subject. I would recommend the talks given by Dr. Alex Cannara; Acidification, Climate & Energy found at youtu(dot)be/rzoW_cVg2hE.If you don't catch this idea in the film, I'll spell it out here. Plankton (Pteropods) do three things; 1) they absorb CO² and sequester it in their tiny shells which fall to the bottom of the ocean should they not get eaten. 2) Pteropods are sometimes eaten and form the base of the oceanic food chain. Nearly half the human population lives near the ocean and is part of that food chain. 3) As these bit of plankton take in CO² for nourishment, they also give off oxygen. In fact, slightly more than half of all oxygen on Earth is resupplied in this fashion.Currently Pteropods are already under duress as a species and numbers have begun to dwindle. Extinction in the 23rd century for nearly all invertebrates & vertebrates is looming - and human activities are 99% of the problem. As I wrote above, watch the middle third of this documentary closely. We have a few decades to avoid this extinction scenario. Let's act wisely.
