For your Thanksgiving pleasure (especially for those of you in NYC), “our” Tides film on the politics of climate, Everything’s Cool, which we essentially co-produced, is opening this weekend:

We want a hit on our hands!

IN BRIEF:

EVERYTHING’S COOL is a film about America finally “getting” global warming in the wake of the most dangerous chasm ever to emerge between scientific understanding and political action. While industry funded nay-sayers sing what just might be their swan song of pseudo — scientific deception, a group of global warming messengers are on a high stakes quest to find the iconic image, the magic language, the points of leverage that will finally create the political will to move the United States from its reliance on fossil fuels to the new clean energy economy — AND FAST.

The good news: America finally gets global warming; the chasm between what scientists know and the public understands is closing and the debate is over.

The bad news: the United States, the country that will determine the fate of the globe, must transform its fossil fuel-based economy fast, like in a minute!

Just when you were thinking green is the new black, the candidates will make the clean energy revolution a central part of their presidential platform and everyone “gets” global warming, EVERYTHING’S COOL is here to offer up an energetic and surprisingly lighthearted look at the politics of climate change and why it took so long to go from SO WHAT? To NOW WHAT?

Hope your holiday was full of love and good food.
