a real-life disaster movie
Apr
That's one label for Everything's Cool, another is "a hot documentary about global warming."
Just to be sure the DVD he had received from the filmmakers would work at tomorrow evening's showing (7 pm at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, free), my friend Brooke sat down to scan the disc and couldn't stop watching it.
I wondered what could be so captivating, so I took a quick tour of some video clips and thoroughly enjoyed the toxic sense of humor and irreverence of Everything's Cool.
Here's a synopsis of the film:
EVERYTHING’S COOL is a film about America finally “getting” global warming in the wake of the most dangerous chasm ever to emerge between scientific understanding and political action. While industry funded nay-sayers sing what just might be their swan song of pseudo-scientific deception, a group of self-appointed global warming messengers are on a high stakes quest to find the iconic image, the magic language, the points of leverage that will finally create the political will to move the United States from its reliance on fossil fuels to the new clean energy economy - AND FAST. Hold on… this is bigger than changing your light bulbs.
One of those global-warming messengers, Rick Piltz, will be on hand at the Wildlife Art Museum tomorrow evening and at Eco-Fair on Saturday (1:30 pm) to tell us how and why "he went from downtrodden public servant to front page news when he blew the lid off the White House’s scandalous manipulation of global warming science."
For folks who can't make the showing in Jackson tomorrow evening, the film is being shown around the country and will soon be available on DVD. Visit the Everything's Cool website for more information.
