"The fossil fuel industry doesn’t care who wins or loses the debate about the reality of global warming, as long as the public continues to feel that it is debatable."(nytimes.com) , is something to think about when you watch the 2007 movie Everything's Cool. Everything's Cool is a documentary that traces the politics of global warming back to 1987!!.
It shows that as long as people still see global warming as a debatable issue we will never see progress, in order words doubt causes delay. "In the film, America "gets" global warming a time when scientific understanding and political action were hand in hand. The movie describes a group of global warming messengers that are on a quest to find a symbolic image that will cause people in the United States to go from relieing on fossil fuels to the new clean energy economy as fast as possible.
I personally loved the film because unlike An Inconvenient Truth by Al Gore, which by the way is a GREAT FILM."Everything's Cool looks like a film made 10 years ago, when ice caps were solid, so it really shows the problem of making America aware even back then" everythingscool.org.htm. I would recommend everyone watch these group of activists as they go on a journey to show the climatic catastrophe of global warming.
