Filed under: Movies, TV and Books , Activism Irish filmmakers, Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney, are taking a closer look at the banning of the once popular pesticide, DDT in their new film, Not Evil Just Wrong . They are also addressing what they call, “the true cost of global warming hysteria.” DDT was used frequently in third world countries to control mosquito populations and the spread of malaria. The substance was banned due to its effects on the environment and wildlife. McAlerr and McElhinney contend that middle class environmentalists are keeping these countries from bettering themselves by placing strict regulations on what they can and cannot do. More importantly, the lives of birds are being place above the lives of humans. It’s not just residents of third world countries who are at risk. Some factory workers and those who work in the oil industry are at risk of losing their livelihood if “those mean ol’ environmentalists” get their way. Not Evil Just Wrong features interviews with scientists who debate the global warming theories presented in An Inconvenient Truth. Patrick Moore, a founder of Greenpeace , even says that the earth could stand to warm up a few degrees. Where do you think the truth lies? Is the government behind a massive conspiracy to make poor people poorer and raise our taxes? Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
