Cool It
Golden Starfish Award Documentary Competition
Documentary Feature, 2010, 84 min
Directed by: Ondi Timoner
Interests: Documentary

Danish economist Bjorn Lomborg is the author of a book called THE SKEPTICAL ENVIRONMENTALIST; which soon after it's publication, became a highly player in the global argument about climate change. Lomborg's book proposed a model of welfare economics to deal with the warming crisis, and firmly criticized measures taken in the Kyoto protocols. While many still consider Lomborg a villain, director Ondi Timoner takes a measured approach to understanding Lomborg's fascinating argument. The result is a documentary that is both compelling and inspiring, no matter on which side of the Lomborg fence you find yourself. Read More
