Cool it - Bjorn Lomborg

‘Cool it’, the movie examines the voracity of some of the arguments and proposed solutions, trendy eco-warriors
such as Al-Gore has publicised in his movie ‘An Inconvenient Truth’. ‘Cool it’, is a film adaptation of the book
with the same name by noted Danish climate expert and scientist Bjorn Lomborg.
The film accepts the general thesis of global warming, but questions the economic and social solutions that are put
forward to solve this problem.
What becomes clear is that many of the solutions backed by eco warriors are too simplistic, surprisingly expensive
and ineffective. Instead, the film proposes alternative more efficient and cost effective solutions, which will
have a much greater impact on tackling global warming,
This film is well worth watching in conjunction with Al-Gore’s ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ so as to provide essential
data for any informed discussion of this vital problem that is so often dominated by well meaning, but ill-informed
debate. In my view I found Bjorn Lomborg’s film a very enlightening and informed viewpoint, more likely to achieve
the various objectives of the green movement.
