7. She's a Canadian musician/singer.

She's still fairly popular. She had a big breakout album in the mid-90s, "Jagged Little Pill" with several hits on it.

She also played the Catholic God in that movie "Dogma"

5. I watched it

Pretty good layman's depiction of the fine balance(s) that govern our climate, and our role in disrupting them.

Not much in the way solutions; they mention residential PV, windfarms, and big calcium carbonate making air filters.

So, for the first 45 minutes, you get a good run-down on what's been going on; for the last 15 minutes you get some fear of the Chinese and some fairly lame solutions. I don't think they disparaged coal nearly enough, nor did they mention fission as a non-GHG power source.
