Bjorn Lomborg’s documentary, “Cool It”, opens today. Claiming to take a middle ground between climate deniers on the right and fearmongers on the left, it could be a moderate’s dream.
Or it could be yet another mishmash of garbled facts and half-baked ideas that doesn’t move the debate forward one iota. And it doesn’t help that in decrying Al Gore’s global warming wake-up call, “An Inconvenient Truth”, as an inaccurate scarefest, Lomborg’s film is an inaccurate kumbayafest.
And if global warming is really “undoubtedly one of the chief concerns facing the world today” and “a challenge humanity must confront”, as he says in the film, you could say that the way he presents it is doing humanity a colossal disservice.
