Not Evil Just Wrong (NEJW) is a documentary on DVD allegedly revealing the dangers of global warming hysteria.
These dangers apparently being clearly seen by 31,000 scientists around the world if the Internet promotion is to be believed and, presumably these so-called scientists are the same grab bag of signatories to the old, discredited Global Warming Petition Project.
In an effort to lay the astroturf wall-to-wall the promoter/s of this documentary are paying AU$5 to certain blogs featuring the NEJW flashing badge.
Even the Australian Libertarian Society blog is bragging about getting a slice of the profits to promote freedom in Australia.
Tiffany McElhany is the front person in this film and is described on the associated website as a mother and wife, living in Vevay, Indiana. Tiffany's husband, Tim works in a local plant making mufflers for Toyota and, Fred Singer is listed also as a contributor to the site along with a number of other climate change denial supporters.
However, what was a surprise is to find James E. Hansen listed as a contributor to this anti-Gore, anti-global warming website.
Now Dr. Hansen is almost as far from a climate change denialist as one could get (as his April 2009 draft letter to the Australian Government demonstrates) and, is committed to the idea of mitigation measures.
To make it quite clear this is what Dr. Hansen stated in The Sword of Damocles:
Over a year ago I wrote to Prime Minister Brown asking him to place a moratorium on new coal-fired power plants in Britain. I have asked the same of Angela Merkel, Barack Obama, Kevin Rudd and other world leaders. The reason is this – coal is the single greatest threat to civilization and all life on our planet. Our global climate is nearing tipping points. Changes are beginning to appear, and there is a potential for explosive changes with effects that would be irreversible – if we do not rapidly slow fossil fuel emissions over the next few decades.
So what on earth is he doing on the very short list of NEJW website contributors and, what is environmental activist Ed Begley Jnr doing up there along with him when as late as the time of writing this post Begley was not lisitng NEJW as a group he was associated with?Uh oh...........seems like the NEJW group have a lot more questions to answer than those it raises in its own documentary.
