Stream of Conscience: Not Evil Just Wrong to Stream Live, for Free, Over Internet This Sunday. Here’s the trailer video:
In this movie, you’ll see Dr. James Hansen refuse to say Steve McIntyre’s name, among other things.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Fewer than 50 hours from the 8 pm EDT Sunday launch of Not Evil Just Wrong — set to be the world’s largest simultaneous film premiere party in history — the documentary’s co-creators today announced options for people across the globe to watch it FREE over the internet. Live links follow.
In addition to the thousands of individual DVD/theatrical premiere parties being hosted across the nation (map available here), the documentary will also be streamed live over the Internet — accessed for free by anyone who visits the site. Not Evil Just Wrong will also be available on several Internet domains to ensure bandwidth sufficient to handle the expected massive interest in the documentary.
The popular website Big Hollywood (http://bighollywood.breitbart.com) has announced its intention to live-stream the documentary over its site, as has the American Family Association (http://action.afa.net). Other options are expected to follow.
“Technology has always been anathematic to those who dominate the modern environmental movement,” said Ann McElhinney, co-director of Not Evil Just Wrong. “And after this Sunday, perhaps we’ll have a clearer idea why. Three years ago, immediately following the release of Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth, we simply wouldn’t have had the capability to reach this many people short of equipping each and every one of them with his own DVD. Today, we have that technology, and thanks to Andrew Breitbart and the folks at AFA, millions of additional people will have the chance to see this film, consider its message, and be inspired to act as a result.”
Visitors to the live-streaming sites will also be able to watch (and, through social networking sites, even participate in) the panel discussion scheduled for immediately after the film, featuring experts such as world-renowned new media pioneer and ACORN buster Andrew Breitbart and the inestimable John Fund of the Wall Street Journal — among several others who will be on hand to moderate the panel and answer questions submitted by the worldwide audience.
Relevant links and information are included below.
What: World premiere of Not Evil Just Wrong
When: Sunday, 8:00 PM EDT; panel discussion with Andrew Breitbart, John Fund, Prof. Richard Lindzen, and Prof. Don Roberts Emeritus to immediately follow.
Where: One of hundreds of premiere sites across the country (and thousands around the world)

“The fact that we are human don’t gives us the right to spend as many oil, cut as many forests or make as many children as we possibly would like for our own behalf” Gerald
If we can honestly pay for those things, then why not? The rub though, is the word “honestly”. As the issuer of the world’s reserve currency, the US can print “gold” and unjustly over consume (so far). Fractional reserve banking also warps society so it is no wonder if we over consume, destroy the environment, fight unnecessary wars, etc.
From the preview, I dislike the ‘enhancing’ effect of the music. In my opinion, documentaries should refrain from playing dramatic or ‘sad’ piano pieces during key parts. I say this because it’s quite a manipulative trait of documentary makers and it needn’t be used when the facts speak for themselves.
Without seeing the film, I don’t want to make any judgments but I hope it doesn’t become a mantra for skeptics just because it is a ‘skeptic’ film.
I know for certain that it will be discussed on ABC, Australia with Tony Jones, with a panel of so-called experts, dismissing its claims and creating diversions by focusing on small discrepancies, regardless of its accuracy.
But these are just my concerns. I dislike hysteria on both sides of the fence.
I hope the film is a good one.
This film isn’t about your right to fuck up the environment; it’s about the emperor “Global Warming” having no clothes. That CO2 isn’t a pollutant shouldn’t be lost on you (and indeed, it seems it isn’t). If Al Gore wants to campaign to reduce heavy metal pollution in the environment (for example), or to stop the cutting down of rain forest, or preserve fish stocks, then that is all good. But it is not the same as perverting the Scientific Process by making up a totem upon which to hang a whole host of anti-technocratic, anti-modernity, pseudo-communistic, anti-progress, anti-democratic lies to scare the general public into paying more taxes and reducing our economic prosperity.
Note that the big winners from the CO2 movement, apart from the Climate Scientists raking in government grants for seemingly cretinous studies, are Al Gore (with his financial interests in Carbon Offsets) and Goldman Sachs, which of course will be taking a cut of Carbon Trading deals if cap & trade goes through.
I listened to a radio phone in last night, where a “Climate Change Protester” attempted to defend his groups’ violence at a recent demonstration at a coal fired power station yesterday here in the UK. Three police officers were injured and several of the protestors, as they attempted to pull down fencing and gain access to the site illegally. His justification was frightening to listen to: “300,000 people die each year from the effects of Climate Change; we are prepared to break the law in order to save lives”. Notwithstanding the fact that 300,000 people don’t die each year from “Climate Change”, this man is effectively an “eco terrorist” promoting a policy the next logical step of which is to engage in direct action, including direct violent action, against the population as a whole (much like any other terrorist group that believes strongly in its righteousness).
That many more people would die if the power were switched off at this power station (assuming, as I am, that the UK will start to experience blackouts in 2015 due to our pathetically stupid politicians) is completely lost on the cretinous fools engaging in this demonstration. I think it’s about time we engaged in some direct action of our own. One small thing you can do is watch this movie and promote a sceptical position to others, if that is what you believe, not about concern for the Environment as a whole, but about this particular fraud-célèbre.
Good luck!
Michael: You wrote, “Our Sun has been in a low output state for more than two years which is a major reason why last year was cold and why this year will be even colder.”
Your sentence has two problems. This first is that globally temperatures have risen this year, primarily in response to the transition from a La Nina state to an El Nino one. Here’s a graph that includes the the most recent TLT (temperature of the lower troposphere) anomalies from Roy Spencer posted here at WUWT:

And here’s the a graph of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomalies from my monthly update:

The second problem with your statement is that you’re claiming the long solar minimum is responsible for a reduction in global temperature (one that does not exist). As Dr. Svalgaard reminds us, the variations in the solar cycle (min to max, or max to min) can only be responsible for a change in global temperature of 0.07 deg C. You’re also implying that with an extended solar minimum there is some kind of cumulative cooling effect–that is, you’re implying that the longer the solar cycle stays at minumum, the colder global temperatures will get. What is the basis of this?
I’ll be watching it or trying to anyway. I would not be surprised if there are significant denial of service attacks on the hosting sites.
Gerard (02:30:53) :
Based on the trailer I don’t like this film at all. As much as I believe the global warming up till now is not out of it’s normal ranges and is very very probable reversing while we look at it I also believe there should be some governemental control on behalf of the environment of this planet. So when the lady says in the trailer “We are all human beings we all have the right to be here” I say yes but so have the other living beings on this planet. The fact that we are human don’t gives us the right to spend as many oil, cut as many forests or make as many children as we possibly would like for our own behalf
But Gerald, that is the way nature in the biosphere works. Like the mills of God, it grinds slowly but it grinds exceedingly fine. Any biological phylum that overpopulates, is naturally cut down to size when it finishes all possible food sourcesand may become extinct.
The argument should go a different way, not ethics, but logic. If our brains do not regulate our collective behavior, we will end up as one more extinct species . It is the human species that will be endangered if we do not husband the resources we need and control our population growth, not the rest of the biosphere in the end.
Penn and Teller did this thing pretty well:

He he he…
I’m going to do my best to stay up until the small hours to watch this. I might need a large pot of coffee to assist me.
Gerard (02:30:53) :
Good point – to a point.
I was based in Hong Kong in the ’70’s, and really liked the place. I went back a couple of years ago for a visit. I have to say that I was very disappointed at the amount of air pollution caused by manufacturing on the mainland. A lot of other places in Asia are like that too.
So we do have to do something about air quality – I have absolutely no doubts about that.
But, being alarmist about global climate change, and giving dire predictions about what will happen if we do not cease to be industrialized, and blaming it all on a gas that is part and parcel of being a carbon-based life-form, is … well it is just utter stupidity.
All in my humble opinion, of course.
“Ice is the enemy of life”..not to the billion or so people who rely on Glacier fed water supply.
Al Gore’s Holy Hologram (03:20:16) :
Nice point – national/regional birthrate is inversely proportional to economic output?
Back2Bat (03:23:55) :
“As the issuer of the world’s reserve currency, the US can print “gold” and unjustly over consume (so far).”
The only reason why the US dollar is the world’s reserve currency is because the Fed has resisted “printing gold”. If it ever does (and it has come close in this recession), then the world financial markets will move to another currency that is seen as being more stable.
Right now, the Chinese Yuan would be an alternative.
“Based on the trailer I don’t like this film at all.”
I’m with Gerard. The promo of this film and some of the WUWTcomments are as frightening as the aggressive polarisation of US politics generally. I was a Greenie before there was ‘green’ and now I am witnessing this hysterical beast overwhelm all environmental concerns. In Australia we cant defend the preservation of old forests from blatant profiteering without proclaiming their value as ‘carbon stores’. How pathetic we have become!…grovelling to this beast for some old-fashion protection of our shared environment, the forests, the rivers, the oceans… And then when the whole beast finally collapses,what will happen? Will we be over-run by gun-slinging cowboy libertarianism? Must we now abandoned any concern for sustainable living? We accept national and federal governments, so what’s so bad about world government to help us manage world resources?
We may not share politics but one thing many WUWT readers seem to share is a trust in the power of science to help us establish facts and help us solve problems. Together we are witnessing that something terrible has happened within the modern institutions of professional science. And this seems to be unprecidented in its scale and nature. What went wrong? How much politicization? How much opportunism? How much that historically persistent tendency to hysterical doomsdayism? When this is all over, we are going to have to sort it all out. Storming in and planting a flag of victory will bring no peace. But then maybe its not peace that many of us want, but revenge. For me that is no victory at all.
I was part of the Melbourne premier tonight, a few notable people but a fairly small crowd. Overall its an anti gore show and perhaps a little disappointing (they could have buried him more) but great to see Hansen squirming.
I can understand showing it at one time initially, for dramatic effect, but why not make the film available for instant viewing by anyone at any time?
Netflix does this for thousands of movies now (for subscribers), so surely someone like Mr. Brietbart could do the same with this film.

Re Bob Tisdale
You’re also implying that with an extended solar minimum there is some kind of cumulative cooling effect–that is, you’re implying that the longer the solar cycle stays at minumum, the colder global temperatures will get. What is the basis of this?
Bob, check the Maunder minimum period on CET record 1680-1715:

If Leif Svalgaard told so, it does not mean it is so. 0.1% might be correct, but there are possible changes in albedo, limiting the sun energy reaching the surface.
I will watch, but I hope it is better than the trailer would suggest. I think they could have come up with a better title as well. Perhaps something like: “Global Warming Hysteria: Bad for Science, Bad for Mankind”.
Michael (00:16:38): I’m trying to think of a good headline
How about: The Revenge of Sol
Incidentally, I came across this youtube promo “Raise your Voice. Change climate change”. Although the wording appears to be non specific, the video certainly emphasizes the pro-warmist argument. (accompanied by Hollywood orchestral music to enhance emotional impact)
I wonder if they will be non partisan in their selection?

The British police aren’t making arrests, or preventing direct action in advance, under the Prevention of Terrorism Act of 2005. This shows we do not live in a ‘racially equal’ society. If these people trying to break into power stations were Muslim they would not have gotten this far. But because these are mostly white university goers from upper-middle class families and are in the pay of wealthy businessmen such as Mark Constantine, they are allowed to spread disinformation, injure policemen, and attempt to invade private property and disrupt power supplies during the winter. And when a nervous policeman does something as meagre as slapping a protestor the whole police force is villainised by the media as a heavy handed brutal organisation.
The reasons are clear: They try to break police morale down so that in the future the police refrain from taking proper action and become the servants who obey the eco-tyrants.
Meanwhile any display of non-racial patriotism in Britain is attacked by the petro-dollar funded United Against Fascism. If you protest against Islamic Extremism, even if you’re black or Asian, the UAF come after you and brand you racist scum. If you start a libertarian party like the UKIP, they brand you a racist. If you do not believe in climate catastrophe, they brand you a racist and equate you with being a Holocaust denier.
It is quite clear that in Britain there is now a nexus of radical groups, many of whom share with the Islamists the same financiers and a deep hatred for Jews, who will use any issue they can to oppress dissent, subvert free society and impose authoritarianism by use of physical force and propaganda by their allies in the media.
anna v (04:27:39) : “The argument should go a different way, not ethics, but logic. If our brains do not regulate our collective behavior, we will end up as one more extinct species . It is the human species that will be endangered if we do not husband the resources we need and control our population growth, not the rest of the biosphere in the end.”
Let’s take that one step further. Who will claim to be the marshalls of husbanding the resources and controling the population growth? The green movement. They see themselves as the saviors the world. They place themselves as gods above everyone else. Why? To control what everyone else thinks, says and does so that their vision of a perfect world is instituted. To what end? So that they can maintain power over everything, so they can live high off the hog at the expense of all others. Remember they say that everyone is equal but believe some are more equal than others. Tyranny hides it’s face behind many masks.
Tom in Florida (06:12:31)…
…has the green movement’s motivations nailed.
tallbloke (1:33:57) … and other Eussies […] 1. Get Banshee Alarm or some other
wakening up software if your clock-radio or alarm-clock won’t help…!?
2. Use Camstudio free version…if the movie is NOT directly DOWNSTREAMABLE,
if so, RealPlayer or some Firefox downloading add-on…BUT if you don’t wake up,
a not too qualified guess is that YouTube will have it within hours…anyhow…
Ustream Trailer not downloadable but Big Holywood’s was…Good Luck!
Rereke Whakaaro (04:40:29) :
“then the world financial markets will move to another currency that is seen as being more stable.

Thanks for the early morning joke of the day! Utter nonsense.
Back on topic;
It is indeed unfortunate that the film will be streaming live in the wee hours for our oppressed friends in occupied Europe… I can only hope there is something in place that lets people watch the film afterwards. (I would think there will be)
I’m thinking there will be a concerted effort to disrupt this premiere. Here’s hoping all goes well.
BernieL (04:53:10) :
“so what’s so bad about world government to help us manage world resources?”
Joke of the day #2!
