Melting sea ice, glacier loss and rising sea levels. Severe droughts and wildfires. Increasingly severe tornadoes, hurricanes, and flooding. Record heat waves. Climate change is no longer a prediction for the future, but a startling reality of today. Yet, as evidence of our changing climate mounts and the scientific consensus proves human causation, there continues to be little political action to thwart the warming of our planet. "Greedy Lying Bastards" investigates the reason behind stalled efforts to tackle climate change despite consensus in the scientific community that it is not only a reality but also a growing problem placing us on the brink of disaster. The film details the people and organizations casting doubt on climate science and claims that greenhouse gases are not affected by human behavior. From the Koch Brothers to ExxonMobil, to oil industry front groups, to prominent politicians and Justices, this provocative exposé unravels the layers of deceit threatening democracy and the ability for future generations to survive on planet earth.

| Detroit NewsTom LongThe film makes its case well. The problem, though, is it seems a bit late. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsLouis ProyectNext time NY won't be so lucky. A really big storm might kill thousands and leave us under water for months. This film shows us what forces are operating to make that more likely and what must be done to overcome them--starting with the Kochs. |
| Film Journal InternationalChris Barsanti...has all the ammunition at hand but never goes for the kill. |
| Boston PhoenixMonica CastilloCondensed and to the point, the film gets its message out and includes a three-step guide on how to get involved. |
| Slant MagazineRob HumanickWhat Craig Scott Rosebraugh's film lacks in originality, it makes up for in comprehensiveness. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreWhat’s fresh here is the tone – rude, blunt and bordering on shrill. This is a less in-your-face Michael Moore-style take on this subject. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsThis film is an awful warning and awful fun at one and the same time. |
| Film ThreatElias Savada... thorough in its revelations, and thoroughly depressing on how the world has been thwarted in this important attempt to heal itself. The film is intent on putting on notice all the "guilty" parties that deny the dangers of climate change... |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThe well-intentioned film includes plenty of statistics and makes its stance clear, but the familiarity of the subject matter decreases its impact. |
| Washington PostMichael O'SullivanFilmmaker Craig Scott Rosebraugh seems to take a kind of perverse glee in hauling out the worst offenders among what he calls the climate change deniers for public shaming. |
