You can’t expect nuance in a film demolishing the hysteria about climate change with 80 minutes of talking heads, coloured graphs, and archived film clips. But you can expect provocative challenges to the “scientific consensus”, whatever that means.
Some of the experts interviewed in “Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth)” are self-described climate change deniers, including a Nobel Prize winner who says that he no longer has to watch his words to protect his career.
The film ends by asking viewers to “follow the money”. I wonder if that was a wise strategy. It’s a time-honoured but cheap way of discrediting opponents. (Critics of the film advise readers to ask who paid for it, etc.) But on the whole, it prods viewers to be more sceptical of the hysteria surrounding the climate change debate. It’s well worth watching.
