I need help finding a global warming movie

About 1.5 years ago, HBO ran a great movie about climate change.

It told the life story of a girl starting when she was very young focusing on how climate change affected her life and the life of the planet in the future. It was 2 hours long and one of the best (what I would call a documentary) I have ever seen.

I would like to get a copy of this for my parents. But for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the movie. Nor can I find it on the HBO website or with a google search.

The movie was fantastic and in my view a must watch. It was an animated movie. And it did a great job explaining how climate change will impact all of us and future generations.

For those who may have seen the movie, what is going on this week is literally right from the storyline!

Any help finding this HBO production would be great

Thank you!

Earth 2100!

That was it.

Apparently it was an ABC production. It is an excellent movie.

Thank you again!

An Inconvenient Truth? Very well done, it made me sad that Al had the 2000 election swiped. Maybe we wouldn't be in the current financial situation we're in.

There is a small part of me that would love for Obama to win 270 but lose the popular vote just to get back at them. The 2000 election was stolen. And our country is still paying for for the results from that fateful episode in American history.
