It is narrated by Glenn Close

The following Youtube link is the HD version of the documentary itself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU&fmt=18

If you want to watch it with subtitles, just click the lowest right button and click "cc". I am RECOMMENDING you to watch this documentary, it is fantastic.

Personal Reaction:

This documentary has gave me insights on what would the world be like if we are to continue disregard the harmony of life in this unique unit of ecosystem. I will never give up nature just for the sake of non-sustainable economic development. "It's too late to be a pessimist". I am kinda shocked when I heard about the melting of the Siberian permafrost which will release Methane (CH3) which is 20 times stronger than CO2.

The global economy is now in a deep recession and we are still continue to develop technology for the sake of humanity not of nature. I will leave the rest of the message to the documentary. You will know why, we are in an urgent situation.

If I were to compare this to Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth, this docu has a better chance than IT. Why? IT is overloaded with Statistics while this is more on the effects, the processes and the unity and the symphony of natural co-existence. Let me add the impact of the effects of global warming on different landscapes of our HOME.
