Last year, the luncheon speakers at the Environmental Luncheon were Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney who showed part of their film "Mine Your Own Business." It is a really excellent film highlighting the condescension so many Western environmentalists have for the poor in developing countries.
Now they are about to release their new film on climate change and DDT, "Not Evil Just Wrong." I got a preview at the International Conference on Climate Change in New York earlier this year. It is excellent. Phelim and Ann are at their best interviewing environmental activists and drawing out their thought process and often-unspoken beliefs. Some of the interviews they do with leading environmental activists will leave you shaking your head.
You will also recognize Patrick Moore in the film, who provides a voice of reason and was our luncheon speaker the year before Ann and Phelim.
You can see a preview for the film on YouTube. I encourage you to leave your impressions and thoughts.
Despite the fact that "An Inconvenient Truth" proves less and less accurate every day, quality filmmakers on the other side of the issue have trouble being taken seriously. Every bit of publicity and support helps overcome that barrier.
