Free public showing of “Everything’s Cool”
Introduced by the activists of Climate Summer and Re-Energize New Hampshire
The Incredible Story of a Handful of Global Warming Messengers Speaking Out in a Time of Disinformation
Hold on... this is bigger than changing your light bulbs! 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 civic 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. |
