Discussion

The film, Everything’s cool illustrates how perceptions of global warming have been shaped by business executives and politicians.  What did this film teach you about global warming? What do you think is necessary to change approaches to and opinions about climate change? More specifically, how can we reconcile the disconnect between climate science and US policy-makers (and the public) and encourage objective assessments of the effects of and solutions to climate change?  Be sure to use course readings to support your response to this film.
