An inconvenient film

Al Gore is about to feature in a new movie, but he's not going to like it very much. Titled Not Evil Just Wrong: The True Cost of Global Warming Hysteria, the film presents a devastating account of the shaky foundations and hefty price of Mr. Gore's brand of self-interested and hypocritical alarmism.

Created by the Irish film making duo of Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney -- who made another excellent documentary about the "dark side of environmentalism" called Mine Your Own Business-- Not Evil provides the perfect rebuttal to Mr. Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.

Despite being chock a block with inaccuracies and misrepresentations, Mr. Gore's movie has frightened schoolchildren all over the world, driven the public policy debate, and garnered both an Academy Award and a Nobel Peace Prize for its star.

Not Evil -- which is due to be released later this year -- will appear at a crucial time. The world's crisis-beset nations are due to meet in Copenhagen in November to concoct a new policy straitjacket to succeed the meddlesome but utterly failed Kyoto Accord. If global warming¹'s U. N.-based ringmasters have their way, this will lead to a slashing of industrial production in developed countries and to a huge extension of boondoggle redistributionist schemes to fund "green" technologies in developing countries.

Such policy represents a triple threat: it will destroy economic activity; it will cripple trade; and it will hurt the poorest the most. Nevertheless, President Obama appears to be on-board this ship of fools, having bought into the notion that there are net "green jobs" to be had from a massive increase in taxation and regulation of industrial activity.

The impact on Canada could be horrendous, and not merely on the oil sands, which have been targeted by environmental non-governmental organizations.

Such policy represents a triple threat: it will destroy economic activity; it will cripple trade; and it will hurt the poorest the most.

I wonder when UN/international policies did NOT hurt the poor the most. Although there are some good efforts out there, many policies seem designed to keep huge masses of poor people under the thumbs of despots.

I disagree with the title. I think it IS evil to knowingly lie and distort in order to whip people into a hysterical fear about a non-threat in order to line one’s own pocket and solidify one’s political power.

If the poor were brought up to middle class standards, there would be nothing left for the UN meddlers to do.

[truemiester]

I will buy this movie. DOes anyone know the date it will come out?

[StACase]

Supposed to come out later this year, whatever that means.

[Scanian]

I don’t know—and I couldn’t find any info in imdb.com—but I think it’s always an excellent idea to support conservative filmmakers.

For some reason it looks like their website was taken down. I can not access it.

Try again-—I just got in after being “re-directed.”

The definition of the Gore family business:

... to knowingly lie and distort in order to whip people into a hysterical fear about a non-threat in order to line one’s own pocket and solidify one’s political power.

Armand Hammer, the now deceased American tycoon with well known deep ties to the former Soviet Union called Algore's daddy, Al, Sr. the "best Senator money could buy"....

The Irish Times had a write up last November.

and it will hurt the poorest the most.

No it won't.
One of the essentials of socialism, or "spreading the wealth," is that misery gets spread around instead.

Workers and taxpayers will be squeezed dry first, followed by their joining the "unfortunate" (read parasites) among us.

Just saying.

Let me save time and use the neutralizing line now..."Done by right-wing extremists in bed with Big Oil."
