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.

Mike D. (12:01:06) :
However there are a lot of people, specially in America, who has never lived under a socialist regime and who can think it would be good.
Those of us who have lived such “experiments” in the past and know by personal experience that it does not work even with the best of good intentions.
Not by distributing wealth you improve things but allowing people become richer by their own efforts.
Not by lowering prices goods reach people but disappear completely, and not because of the bad will of selfish entrepeneurs but by the simple fact that nobody can produce anything and sell it below its cost of production.
When land was communized, back in 1968 in Peru and given to workers, cultured land became deserted land, and workers jobless; it took decades to reestablish farming through private enterprise.
I wish you not to learn these truths the hard way, by suffering them, but it seems that we humans are a bit stubborn and learn only by “blood, sweat and tears”

The Climate Change meeting in Copenhagen in December will end in failure.
anna v (06:30:21) :
” In general, the first three solutions to the problem of overpopulation and scarcity of resources is, 1) education 2) education 3) education. I would add that for the third world education of women should come first. An educated woman always finds a way to control her fertility.”
Anna – education is a good start but some basics like clean water and basic sanitation plus some basic health care actually reduce infant mortality which reduces the requirement for additional “spare” children. Children are part of the third world social fabric like a pension or superannuation fund. Culturally, they are expected to care directly for their aged parents.
The problem is that improving each of these takes energy. Energy for pumping water, powering health care facilities or lighting classrooms, food storage, medicine storage, transport of basic commodities. There is a whole cycle of economic development that follows. Emancipation as demonstrated by China leads to increased resource usage. A good case study is Zimbabwe which went through the cycle but had a command and control Government that had no answer for the expectations created by emancipation. Now all the basics have again failed with consequential return to poverty. I wonder what will happen in China where a similar command and control mindset prevails.
On the up side, I am told that the average Zimbabwean has an extremely low carbon footprint! Who knows, we may actually reward old Bob for his effort at Copenhagen.
For an entertaining insight into what happens when politics tries to redefine the economy, read the Last Resort http://www.douglasrogers.org/ The lessons of adaptation and survival in rural Zimbabwe may be necessary in a new green world. Access to resources controlled by a powerful elite …. now where have I heard that idea recently. Perhaps there are messages that a woman in Africa can send to the world that show what is wrong with the new green crusade.
For Bob Tisdale. You might find it interesting that NOAA was able to report a record high SST in July because they dropped sat data and ARGO bouy data from the data set and stuck with just the temp stations located on concrete next AC condenser blower fans (they pull the heat out and away from the condenser) and next trash burn barrels and outside barbecues and near tarmac and surrounded by buildings and assorted fences.
Ralph, I believe Islam lends itself to fanaticism and I think it odd that one must tolerate it because it falls under the banner of religion. It’s fairly PC not to discuss this sort of thing, just as it’s heretical to denounce AGW. But I don’t like Islam or Warmism.
However, I largely do not agree in the following comment by Ron.
One of the hallmarks of Islam is the forced submission of its practices. Choice is not encouraged in the Islamic pedagogy.
I don’t mean to go on about religion so snip away if I’m not agreeable.
For a good insight into the third world:
And education certainly is the key, in the west and the third world.
6600 viewers and increasing rapidly… almost a hockey stick increase after years of no viewers >.>
For everyone’s convenience – the direct video llink:
http://www.ustream.tv/channel/not-evil-just-wrong
7000 viewers now and the increase seems to be irreversible…
Satellite internet out in the tules isn’t great about streaming video; can’t even get the audio anymore once past the warmup. Drat, I was looking forward to this.
After lurking for months, I must say I enjoy the site, even though I’m having to dig through really ancient memories of math and stats courses to even sort of follow the arguments. Probably not a bad thing, though I’ve claimed for years that we elders have more stuff in the mental filing cabinets, so it takes a bit longer to scrabble through it all.
That’s my excuse…
I cheated. I bought the documentary and invited a couple of friends over to watch football followed by Not Evil, Just Wrong before the official premiere. It bored them stiff – me too. I understand the reasons for including DDT as a reference for the way environmentalists induce hysteria, but it went on so long that my friends tuned the rest of the thing out. One person even left. The segment on the people from Indiana wasn’t much better. I’m disappointed and my two greenie friends who watched to the end weren’t convinced of anything.
Spoke too soon, I’m getting audio now. Video is frozen for minutes, but at least it’s something. Enjoying what I’m hearing, and I see it’s up over 9100.

“Ice is the enemy of life”..not to the billion or so people who rely on Glacier fed water supply.
You can’t drink ice.
Just finished watching the movie. Excellent, must see. Thank you!
I have just seen “Not evil just wrong” and now I am convinced, once more, that we live in interesting times, and I hope to live to see the good to prevail.
Wow!
This was very much political (Of course. so was Al Giore) …. bu it was powerful.
Great movie.
I loved the inclusion of common working people. Too often this debate appears to be lofty discussions between scientists.
When it was stated that environmentalists don’t care about common people, this was done with a focus on these common people; both in the US and in third world countries. Rather depressing to see the attitudes of environmentalists towards common people. Elites indeed.
Just watched it on-line. Hit about 9500 viewers at peak. Not enough by a long shot. There really was nothing new in it, although it was well presented. The trouble with things like this is that it won’t change anyone’s mind.
It will be ignored by Obama, Gore, the UN, et al, and the push to shut down civilization will continue, because there are no high-profile, politically powerful people or groups that can successfully oppose it, and the general public won’t do anything until it has a significant effect on their wallet and lifestyle.
I wish it were otherwise.
Have to agree that the DDT and US schmaltz was somewhat redundant, but perhaps that works for some people. Judging by the peak viewerage of 9.7k, I’d imagine most of those were probably non-AGW to start with. That said, it all helps.
On the other hand, the trouble with focusing on the science too much, is that this bores many viewers. Most scientists don’t make great interview candidates. Shame we don’t have the likes of Dr Karl on our side:
http://www.abc.net.au/science/drkarl/default.htm
Then again, he often gets it wrong too – I seem to remember him knocking CO2 sequestration as a ridiculous concept because there was no way we could get that much CO2 underground (his envelope calcs were sadly off by a few orders of magnitude that day).
I just saw it, and it was very good! But I think a second documentary, or a series of documentaries, should be in order. There should be spectator-friendly shows that are focused on the data and scientific evidence, and less on the social aspects. Something like Carl Sagan’s Cosmos, but for realistic climate science.
I just finished watching the internet feed on Brietbart.com.
As above, viewership was quite substantial, At the start of the feed they showed 6990 viewers and the count up was gaining 5-10 viewers a second. By the end of the feed viewership was 9534 last number I saw. They are now doing a panel discussion with 6697 viewers still on line.
I agree with the above comments that the movie was a bit slow for some viewers. In today’s world everyone wants a quick cut capsule not in depth coverage. We have created a pool of people who have no attention span.
That said, the mere existence of this film, is Prima facie evidence that the science is not settled, and there is no consensus. That is a major accomplishment in my view.
It will be a conversation starter, even if the viewer does not believe all that was said it will bring it into the open for discussion.

As the video mentions Al Gore – does anyone remember Al Gore Sr. (Al Gore Jr.’s dad). ? The Senator from Tennessee who was a gave political support to Armand Hammer, the entrepreneur. When Senator Gore was not re-elected – he went to work at Armand Hammer’s company Occidental Petroleum.
Armand Hammer was working to promote Soviet causes his entire life. He was a “comrade” and knew Lenin, Brezhnev, Khrushchev and his American companies where laundering money to help pay the Soviet spies working in the US.
Read the book if you do not believe this could be possible that Al Gore Senior would be closely involved with Armand Hammer: “The Secret Dossier of Armand Hammer” by Jay Espstein.
inre: population control, overpopulation
“if we do not…control our population”
Whether they are taking population control seriously, or there is some other deeper social cause at work, European women are not reproducing:
“European Union’s statistics agency reported that the decline of birthrates means that within five years deaths will exceed births in the EU. By 2013, Italy’s population will begin to decline; the next year, Germany’s will begin to decline. After 2010, Europe’s population growth will be entirely from immigration. By 2025, not even immigration will prevent declining fertility from accelerating what one historian calls the largest “sustained reduction in European population since the Black Death of the 14th century.” George Will
Need I mention the spread of Islamic law across Europe, from the schoolroom to the courtroom, as well as the growing Islamic population–both by immigration and birthrate–which has caused more than a few to predict that Europe will be Islamic in 50 years?

Thanks for the pointer Anthony! I enjoyed this very much.
