cross-posting to Video and Multimedia forum, in case it shouldn't be over here...

(on Edit)---Sorry, sorry all its a Frontline piece on institutional climate-change deniers...

(and would someone PLEASE dissuade me from the idea that the house shown at 47 minutes in doesn't look EXACTLY like the fuckin' C-Street Headquaters....maybe a lot of houses in DC look like that?)

Since about 99.99% of the vid links posted online are close to worthless, I'd like to have some sense of what I'm clicking beforehand.

Would a one-sentence statement like "here's a great clip about ______" be too much to ask?

I see now that the OP was edited to include a brief description of the subject matter. Sorry for the pre-coffee rant on my part.

I've been burned by one-too-many RickRolls, so perhaps I'm over-cautious!

Pardon me whilst I go and board up my summer house in Ventnor, NJ because we're going to have an eight foot storm surge in what is essentially November. And pardon me while I get ready for a foot of rain in PA. And I've got to admit that a whole winter without snow in the Delaware Valley is not unusual at all.

of course.

that's an old Legend propogated by dirty, baby-Jesus-hating Liberals. EVERYONE knows snow don't fall in New England AT ALL.
(at least, that's what th idiots will be saying in 50 years or so)

And I hope you come through ok. I understand it's supposed to be a Monster of a storm. Stay safe.
