If you’re looking to join others for a public showing (scroll down for U.S. locations) of the documentary “Not Evil Just Wrong” on Sunday night, it looks like the only one in the Triangle is at UNC-Chapel Hill (unless you know of a private party in someone’s home). In case you’re unaware, “NEJW” is the counterweight to Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” produced and directed by the married Irish duo of Ann McElhinny and Phelim McAleer. Phelim is the fellow who challenged Gore on Friday about the nine errors in his film, which he has refused to correct for the record.
Here’s the info about the showing at UNC, via a press release from the representative there for Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow, Daryl Ann Dunigan:
A free-market environmentalism student group at UNC, Collegians
for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), are teaming up for a world premier film
event of ?Not Evil, Just Wrong? in Gardner 105 at 8
pm on UNC?s campus. Admission is
free and open to the public.
The film ?Not Evil, Just Wrong,? is a feature-length
documentary which takes on the conventional wisdom of global warming. This
event is being coordinated with the filmmakers and hundreds of other groups
nationwide to qualify this event for the World Record Premiere.
Global warming remains one of the most controversial issues
of our times. Some, like Al Gore, President Obama, and many environmentalists,
believe that radical action to curtail emissions must be undertaken
immediately; regardless of the impact such actions will have on our economy and
way of life.
Others like the makers of ?Not Evil, Just Wrong? and the CFACT
question the science behind human-caused global warming, but even more
importantly question whether solutions to other, more immediate challenges must
be sacrificed in order to minimally impact a supposed problem that has not been
directly linked to the death of a single person.
?Not Evil, Just Wrong,? explores the science of global
warming with a skeptic?s eye, but it also links the current ?crisis? of global
warming to other supposed crises that mankind has faced in recent memory. The
draconian measures that must be undertaken not only here in America, but around
the world in order to have a measurable impact on CO2 emissions, like the
banning of DDT, will have harmful impacts on all of us, but will
disproportionately affect those who can least afford it, the world?s poor.
It’s well done and thought-provoking, and something that ought to be introduced to balance the Gore film in school classrooms. Bring popcorn.
