Cooling off the Liberty By KAREN BOSSICK
I
t questions the assumptions to Al Gore’s Oscar-winning movie, “An Inconvenient Truth.” And it’s playing this Sunday at The Liberty Theatre in Hailey. The movie “Cool It!” will show at 3 p.m. And the film’s producer, Terry Botwick, who also
Bjorn Lomborg.
produced the “Star Trek,” “XMen” and “Wolverine” movies, will be here to participate in a question-and-answer session and a reception afterwards, along with his 1019 Executive Whitney Thomas. The movie, directed by Ondi Timoner, features Bjorn Lomborg, the Danish-born author of “The Skeptical Environmentalist.” An adjunct professor at Copenhagen Business School and former director of the Environmental Assessment Institute in Copenhagen, Lomborg has become a controversial figure, campaigning as he did against the Kyoto Protocol. He doesn’t dispute that
climate change is real and potentially serious. But, as a statistician, he debunks Gore’s projections about polar bear extinction and rising sea levels. And he cautions against what he calls “devastatingly expensive reductions in carbon emissions,” saying we should put our money instead on researching and developing non-carbon-emitting technologies that enable people to switch to cheaper-than-fossilfuel technologies sooner. That is, things like solar, wind, carbon capture, fusion, fission and even technology that would make clouds whiter, to reflect more heat.
