There have been and still are numerous "cult" warning shows, but not one on orthodox religion that I've ever seen.

When I was young, my grandma told me the story of the Vikings' end in Greenland. I also learned about it in school. I recommend for your next video (the whole show is interesting and they do discuss global warming and the possibility of man's participation in it and the industrial revolution being a possible cause of the end of the the little ice age)
