I clearlly remember in 1980's the same apocalyptical predictions were made(one example is Jean-Jacques Servan-Schreiber and his bestseller "The Global Challenge"),that by 2010 we will reach 7(seven) billion and that will be "the end", at that point(2010) we will gonna run out off oil, run out off food and so on.... all this reminds me of snake oil sellers.

Plot summary
Ten Billion is a film about us. It's a film about you, your children, your parents, your friends. It's about every one of us. It's about our failure: failure as individuals, the failure of business, and the failure of our politicians. It is about an unprecedented planetary emergency. It's about the future of us.

Deja vu "Seven billion"
I wish I was never born. So that my child was never born. Therefore "Ten Billion -2"
I highly recommend this movie to every soul on Earth. We don't know why we are here. We can at least know where we are heading. However the film did not mention one major cause of the human condition. That is the printing of money. Behind that is greed. Everything follows.
The past cannot be changed. Everyone agrees to that. No Dispute. Here comes the difficult one. The future is also set in stone and cannot be changed. There is no parallel universe or heaven awaiting for us. We are the problem. We are going to die because of what we did. There is no exit. The ending is fixed.
The solution to the "Ten Billion" problem is simple. "Ten Billion -1", and just repeat it many times. This can be achieved by not giving birth to more people who will find no food in the future. Can we do that? Simple solution doesn't mean easy. Stephen Emmott tries to tell us what he sees in the future because there is no alternative future.
Heavily one-sided inaccurate effort at tackling an important topic
Hi all, I saw this documentary at a screening in London followed by a panel discussion w/ Stephen Emmott, the narrator/host of the documentary.
Climate change is an important topic, and I am a huge fan of documentaries that tackle controversial topics in an objective fashion with open discourse.
This film, however, focused almost entirely on one side, that is - that humans are changing the Earths climate and that we are doomed...and there is nothing we can do about it. Not only do I heavily disagree with such a one-sided approach, but many of the statistics used in the film are skewed if not completely ludicrous. On top of that, Stephen is highly selective on showing elements that support his position, but completely omits viable alternatives/and or actual solutions that are currently being implemented or on the horizon.
I vehemently dislike biased and manipulative documentaries, and while I have seen far worse than this one - it goes without saying that this film does 'not' do the important debate around Climate Change any justice.
Watch it if you enjoy nitpicking holes out of a narrative :).
