TIFF Movie Review: Cool It : Empire Movies

Directed by Ondi Timoner, Cool It is an environmental documentary that looks at author Bjorn Lomborg who wrote the book The Skeptical Environmentalist and came under fire from the scientific community for his published views on the topic of Global Warming.

Cool It acts in a way as a direct response or rebuttal to Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth. It brings up a lot of issues discussed in that movie and instead provides the viewer with an alternate take. For example, the issue of the declining polar bear population. An Inconvenient Truth would have you believe that this is a direct result of Global Warming. Cool It tells us that the polar bear population stood at around five thousand in 1950 whereas the current polar bear population stands somewhere between twenty and twenty-five thousand. So we are much further ahead today than we were some 60 years ago. He further contends that more bears are shot every year than bears who die from the effects of Global Warming. So if we are so concerned about the polar bear population, we should stop people from shooting bears rather than spending $250 billion on a climate change program that isn’t yielding results.

Stupid goes viral: Climate Zombies in IA, MO, UT, VT, and WA | Grist

I'm tracking Climate Zombies: every Republican candidate for House, Senate, and Governor who claims that global warming is a hoax, doubts the science of climate change, and wants a new Dark Ages for America.

First, a brief note on why. During the Bush years, most Republican politicians ducked questions on climate change, professed a desire to do something vague and unspecified about energy independence, and derided cap-and-trade. Only a few, led by James Inhofe (R-River in Egypt), openly mocked science. The emergence of the Tea Party has changed that.

When the weather is bad, the chieftain summons the whole village. “Well, well. Who did it?” he yells. “I will not ask twice. Confess. If you deny your guilt you make it only worse for you !” After some time they drag in old Mrs. Ugly. A witness complains: “I saw her boil some strange soup just before the storm came. Which clearly proves, she is a witch. Demons helped her to call bad weather upon us.” Everybody nods, that the evidence is solid. And they stone her to death.

Environmentalists summon a huge conference and they complain: “The weather is worse and worse. We must have displeased the Goddess Gaia. It is a punishment for our sins.” A sceptic frowns: “But isn’t it just a natural phenomenon? Rising solar activity always causes increase in temperatures.” The crowd of environmentalists drag the sceptic out of the room and then they continue. “We must find those responsible for the bad weather. And bring them to justice. That is to eliminate them before it is too late.”
