It Is About Science
20 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
Others have stated that if a show has advocacy, even if it is based on scientific proof, it is inadequate as documentary. This show is about Claire "Pat" Patterson who dedicated his life to two issues: finding the age of the Earth and dealing with the preponderance of lead in our atmosphere, our products, and our oceans. He is perhaps one of the most heroic people in our history, and one who nobody knows. The fact of the matter is that when money is talking, a lot of discourse is over. The climate change issue is just the next in a series of factors that are being debated because massive death and destruction in the future doesn't affect the current generation. Whether the narrator has an agenda is not an issue. There is no such thing as a presentation without some agenda. I assume if the presentation said there was no climate change, it would have gotten ten stars. Once again, a masterful telling of a great investigation and the courageous efforts to get the word out.
