Documentary: Everything's Cool

Everything's Cool (2007)

Immediately after the scientific discovery that global warming is being caused by greenhouse gases, major corporations, who would be most effected financially by any new legislation, immediately started their campaign to misinform the general public. Media sources were provided with a small group of "scientists" (from right-wing think tanks, no less) to espouse the "other side" of this heated debate. This common political tactic fools the masses into believing that since there appears to be two sides of the issue, the debate has yet to be resolved. Unfortunately, the viewing public were rarely told that these "scientists", many not specialists in any climate sciences at all, were being funded by the energy industry and lobby. This documentary provides the only factual side to this "debate": the scientific community overwhelmingly agrees that our current environmental crisis is being fueled by human beings.

With the assistance of investigative journalist Ross Gelbspan and Dr. Heidi Cullen, who holds a PhD in climatology and ocean-atmosphere dynamics, this informative documentary dispels the arguments the other side has been making for well over two decades. You're introduced to all of the right-wing hacks who've sold out the well-being of the human race to protect profits for major corporations, and you're also shown why the likes of Gelbspan and Cullen should be recognized as the authorities on this controversy.

I highly recommend this movie for anyone still sitting on the fence in regards to this argument, and especially for anyone who is sure that global warming is some sort of issue fueled by ideology. They're actually spot on with that assumption, except that it's their side that is being manipulated politically. This would be a great film to see as a follow up to An Inconvenient Truth since it addresses why the other side of the argument was created: to protect profits. Shameful.

you gotta see this shit
