| I thought it wasn't supposed to be on until tomorrow night, but it looks like they're running it tonight, as part of "Anderson Cooper 360." |

No need to watch clips. It's on TV right now!!
They are showing it a day early for some reason.
Pretty good so far. He's covering everything. Tar sands, deepwater, Chinese consumption... |

Yes for you, I only get CNN international, and unless PO is somehow connected to MRI-polygraphs, it's not showing here... 
I hope they don't want to "protect" us from PO-awareness and will air it later on...
What I got from the trailers though looked very promising, almost like doomer porn. Could this be the second milestone in mainstream PO-awareness, after the NYT article?

Someone said it's airing on CNN International at these times:
Saturday: 12:00 GMT 22:00 GMT
Sunday: 13:00 GMT 17:00 GMT
I guess you have to add or subtract to get your local time. I guess that means it airs tomorrow morning U.S. time? |

Man! I only caught the last ten minutes. It must have started at 9pm central. I guess I'll have to catch it in its entirety tomorrow night.

Over now, at least in my time zone. (I don't know if CNN runs the same schedule in every time zone. FWIW, they ran "We Were Warned" as the second hour of "Anderson Cooper 360.")
I thought it was pretty good. It was kind of neat to see things like the Canadian tar sands and the cane fields of Brazil.
Pretty good intro to peak oil. Better than anything else I've seen. If CNN put this on DVD, I would buy it. |

Thanks, I am looking forward to it!
Sounds pretty neat so far, but what was their general conclusion in the end?
More like the usual "some people say this and others say this" or more like "if we don't start acting now we are in serious trouble?"

The conclusion is that we're screwed.
It ends with the conclusion to the oil crisis scenario. No happy ending. The president of the U.S. signs a bill that enforces conservation and throws billions at alternate energy. There are shortages of heating oil, and no gas to be had. World leaders are in a panic about the global recession. There are shots of empty airports and deserted highways; Americans are staying home for Thanksgiving this year.
The last shot shows a gas pump with an "out" sign on it. The last line is something like, "All the things we hold dear are threatened. And we were warned."
Sort of an open ending, I guess you'd call it. |

Good. I can only hope that some take it seriously. IF we don't act we are doomed.

You mean it didn't end with "and then Jesus rode to our rescue in a hydrogen powered car!!! and all was well!!!" ?
Amazing.
I guess this means the crap is about to hit the fan.
Best,
Matt

"We Were Warned---Tomorrow's Oil Crisis"
What might happen if a hurricane hit Houston, the center of U.S. energy production, and terror strikes occurred at oil installations in Saudi Arabia. |
