If you ever needed convincing that the tree huggers were telling the truth about the environment — ‘Everything’s Cool’ might be the film for you.

Basically the film takes the form of a road-trip diary as the filmmakers head out across the United States.

In the beginning, the people they talk to debunk the idea of global warming with everything from “when Jesus comes, we won’t have to worry about this” to “I don’t think that my little Ford does that much damage”.

The film shows how Exxon and other power brokers make it pretty impossible for scientists to get the information out by causing debate.

But the documentary shows policymakers around the globe are now more than ever looking incredulously at the United States and waiting for some action.

But if the US as a nation and a government does not aggressively cut greenhouse gas emissions in the next decade, the problem of climate change will eventually dwarf all other economic and social problems.

The story line follows the struggle of several dedicated scientists and journalists who are at times almost ready to give up their fight, while at other times they are jubilant about the fact that the public is listening and making steps to decrease emissions and find new fuels.

Among those featured are Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Ross Gelbspan and the Weather Channel’s Heidi Cullen, who is the on-air climatologist in America, which the film has show as a step in the right direction.

Eco-messiahs Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus are known as the bad boys of environmentalism and they have detailed footage of polar bears floating away on ice caps.

And Rick Piltz tells his tale of Washington’s censorship of his latest research on climate change. He went from downtrodden public servant to front page news when he blew the lid off the White House’s scandalous manipulation of global warming science.

Meanwhile, Bish Neuhauser serves an essential part of the story, showing what ordinary folks could do if they had diesel vehicles, by using biodiesel instead.

Back into the Arctic, footage reveals permafrost melting and many Inupiat people’s homes falling off cliffs in fishing villages.

On the other side, the film shows the scientists who are pro-fossil fuel and it exposes the many corporations that they are funded by, which hold sway in Washington.

All in all, ‘Everything’s Cool’ lets you see that everything just isn’t and also how urgent this situation really is.
