Peter Foster: One cool movie
Cool It, a new film featuring Bjorn Lomborg, is far more convincing than An Inconvenient Truth

Danish “skeptical environmentalist” Bjorn Lomborg is at least as charismatic as Al Gore and far more personable. Cool It, the film about Mr. Lomborg’s crusade to bring some rationality to the climate change issue — which premiered on Sunday night at the Toronto International Film Festival — is also every bit as well done as An Inconvenient Truth, the Oscar-winning movie about Mr. Gore’s ghastly but self-interested psychic projections.

Every schoolchild who was forced to watch Mr. Gore’s apocalyptic whoppers should also be given the opportunity to see Cool It, which presents a balanced and convincing case against doom and gloom.

much deeper inquiry is needed into the dark political/psychological heart of the green movement.


Dark/political psychological heart... Folks being eager to yammer on regarding everything that's wrong rather whipping out The Rational Mind long enough to reveal that most of it's either a distortion or clearly easy to remedy? Yeah, that's truly a blue moon happening.

I'll start believing in Global Warming when Al Gore moves into a studio apartment, has his 4 mansions converted into homeless shelters and has his private jet recycled for scrap.

He or she (DarthObama) copied and pasted part of an article. You would have to click on one of the links that individual provided earlier in the post.

I just saw an advertisement for this movie on television for the first time and wanted to come onto good 'ol IMDB to see all the ranting and am surprised there are not very many posts yet. It is interesting how this topic (not this movie, but climate change and/or global warming) is viewed by people. Seems like people argue that people who study the issue or non-issue are swayed by their political views or financial opportunities and then also argue that therefore they know for 100% that they, who spend no time studying or researching the issue or non-issue (other than reading said persons results) must know for 100% that they themselves are correct and also not swayed by their own political views or propensity toward public figures sharing their own political views.

It figures that neocons like you would cheer this movie; your collective ignorance about anything dovetails with what this guy has to say about the environment anyway.

Oh well, stick to your delusions.
