The following source indicates the film "Cool It" had a release date<br>in Spokane of November 19, 2010, but I have yet to find in what<br>theater in Spokane. The fact the Spokesman-Review online ran a review<br>of this film on November 19, suggests the film is showing in the<br>Spokane area, yet unless I missed it, this review does not indicate<br>where it is showing. The Moscow/Pullman area is too far into the<br>commercial cinema weeds for this film to be now showing in this area,<br>just as the second expanded release of "Avatar" did not show (though<br>it might later) in Moscow/Pullman:<br><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://jabcatmovies.com/2010/11/cool-it-theatrical-release-schedule/">http://jabcatmovies.com/2010/11/cool-it-theatrical-release-schedule/</a></span><br><br>-------------------<br>A short review of the film "Cool It" is pasted in below, from the<br>Spokesman-Review, that indicates "...Lomborg repeatedly notes
that<br>climate change is “real, it’s man-made and it is a problem.”<br><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/nov/19/cool-it-leaves-big-questions-of-credibility/">http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/nov/19/cool-it-leaves-big-questions-of-credibility/</a></span><br><br>November 19, 2010 in Features<br>‘Cool It’ leaves big questions of credibility<br>Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel<br><br>There’s plenty of room for debate within the broad scientific<br>discussion of global climate change. The question raised by the new<br>documentary “Cool It” is whether censured Danish economist Bjorn<br>Lomborg deserves a place at the table.<br><br>The author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist” doesn’t deny global<br>warming, which may disappoint some of those who embrace his “discredit<br>Al Gore” mission.<br><br>But Lomborg’s attack on the orthodoxy of climate change policy has won<br>him friends in the
conservative and business communities and enemies<br>in both science and environmental circles.<br><br>The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty found him ill-qualified<br>to be making the arguments on a subject that lies outside his areas of<br>expertise.<br><br>“Cool It” does little to remove that taint. It’s a “What Me Worry?”<br>spin on the science that suggests we stop letting ourselves be<br>paralyzed into inaction by the scale and cost of the “worst case<br>scenario” that “An Inconvenient Truth” hurled at us.<br><br>The film by director Ondi Timoner (”Dig!,” “We Live in Public”) opens<br>with the voices of children blurting out what they know about climate<br>change. When you hear the fear and doomsday prophecies they parrot,<br>you’re inclined to hear Lomborg out.<br><br>He talks about allocating resources toward attacking real human<br>problems (malaria, poverty) instead of the tiny changes he expects<br>from
all our efforts to lower the planet’s temperature over the next<br>100 years.<br><br>But he bends numbers, something you notice in a movie built on a<br>point-by-point attack on Gore’s Oscar-winning documentary.<br><br>No, sea levels won’t turn Earth into Kevin Costner’s “Waterworld.” But<br>you can’t help but notice Lomborg talks to experts who agree with him,<br>to a point, about Antarctica, and yet somehow leave out the rapidly<br>shrinking Arctic ice pack.<br><br>There are few dissenting voices in “Cool It.” With people like NASA’s<br>sober-minded James Hansen and U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich there to give<br>Lomborg a bit of cover (they don’t address him or his ideas directly),<br>the film avoids being shrill or overly political.<br><br>And Lomborg repeatedly notes that climate change is “real, it’s<br>man-made and it is a problem.”<br><br>But as useful as it is to chew on ideas that don’t hew to climate<br>change dogma,
“Cool It’ leaves big questions about Lomborg unanswered:<br>Is he qualified? Is he honest? And who is funding him?<br>-------------------------------------------<br>Vision2020 Post: Ted Moffett<br><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet, <br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <br><span> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.fsr.net">http://www.fsr.net</a> </span><br> mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================<br></div></div>
