Not Evil Just Wrong focuses on the British High Court ruling which found nine errors in Al Gore's documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. The film also highlights information about the Medieval Warm Period and Stephen McIntyre's alleged debunking of the hockey stick graph.[7][8] The film also focuses on the impact of climate legislation in developing counties and average families in America. The film states that one of environmentalists' first restrictions on industry was when DDT was banned, led by Rachel Carson.[9] According to the film, the ban on DDT "...has needlessly resulted in the deaths of more than 40 million children and adults in the developing world."[10] No such "ban" actually exists.[11] The film then continues to on a similar tack, arguing that climate legislation like cap and trade would negatively impact the life for middle and low-income families in America, particularly those working for energy-related jobs. The directors follow Tiffany McElhany and her family in rural Indiana, to see how fossil fuels have given them better opportunities.[12] Production and receptionFundingIn 2008, McElhinney and McAleer raised almost $1 million (€799,000) from real estate investors,[13] but said they needed a total of $4.5 million for a cinema release.[1] After the film was turned down for funding by the Irish Film Board, the filmmakers then began taking donations online.[1] The film failed to find a commercial distributor.[14] ProductionThe documentary has been noted for being a very similar style to Michael Moore's documentaries by using file footage of old movies, cartoons and class-based arguments. McAleer has been quoted saying, "I would not be making documentaries if it wasn't for Michael Moore," he says. "He aroused my interest and people's interest in documentaries. He's also made it acceptable for people to go to the movie theatre and watch documentaries. I hate to say it but we're all children of Michael Moore."[15] ReceptionMother Jones published a highly critical article on the movie. Stephanie Mencimer wrote that "The film is poorly organised and rehashes the familiar talking points of climate change sceptics —global warming as bad science; climate concerns as hysteria akin to that over killer bees, etc. Pushing those views are the usual suspects, including Patrick Moore, the Greenpeace founder turned nuclear power lobbyist, and Thatcher-era British politician Nigel Lawson."[14]A premiere party was held by the Heritage Foundation, where it was also broadcast on Ustream and the American Family Association channel.[16] "We may at last be getting our Michael Moore," said Fred Smith, of the AFA, "A virtuous Michael Moore!"[17] Suzanne Fields from the Washington Times said, "Ann McElhinney's film focuses on people (not polar bears) whose paychecks and families are dependent on coal-generated energy, and whose interests are usually ignored in abstract statistics."[18] The Online Opinion, said that the movie excelled "in pointing to the absurdities and gross contradictions in the current scare over global warming."[19] Balanced Education for EveryoneIn 2010, the directors of Not Evil Just Wrong teamed up with the Independent Women's Forum to launch a Balanced Education for Everyone (B.E.E.), which promotes balanced education in public schools about climate science.[20] The program suggests that if An Inconvenient Truth is shown in classrooms, then Not Evil Just Wrong should also be shown to offer students a broader curriculum about the climate debate.[20] The directors also created an educational guide to teach about climate change, in conjunction with offering the free DVD to classrooms.[20] Subsequent eventsMother Jones subsequently reported that the husband of Tiffany McElhany, the Indiana women highlighted in the film as at risk of losing her standard of living should controls on carbon be enacted, was laid off from his job at a car parts plant. "It turns out that McElhany's story, too, is more complicated than Not Evil would have you believe. She is by far the documentary's most compelling character, and seems poised to become a minor heroine to the Tea Party crowd. Yet for all her talk of the bounty that coal has brought to Vevay, when I contacted her for this story she disclosed that her husband was laid off in March and has been unemployed ever since. It appears that a lot of dirty industry jobs have disappeared with no help at all from environmentalists."[14]References1. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/weekend/2008/1115/1226408678797.html |title=Film-makers taking on our 'global warming hysteria' |last=McGee |first=Harry |date=15 November 2008 |work=The Irish Times|accessdate=25 July 2009}} 2. ^{{cite news |first=Johan |last=van Slooten |date=1 December 2008 |title=The truths and myths of global warming |url=http://static.rnw.nl/migratie/www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/globaldevelopment/081129-english-globalwarming-redirected |publisher=Radio Netherlands Worldwide |accessdate=12 October 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821233741/http://static.rnw.nl/migratie/www.radionetherlands.nl/currentaffairs/globaldevelopment/081129-english-globalwarming-redirected |archivedate=21 August 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 3. ^{{cite news |first=David |last=Weigel |date=18 August 2009 |title=RightOnline Attendees Soak Up Success |url=http://washingtonindependent.com/55342/right-online-attendees-soak-up-success |work=The Washington Independent |accessdate=12 October 2009 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090919153454/http://washingtonindependent.com/55342/right-online-attendees-soak-up-success |archivedate=19 September 2009 |df=dmy-all }} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/|title=Not Evil Just Wrong Website|accessdate=13 October 2009}} 5. ^{{cite press release |title=Dedication's What You Need |publisher=Spanner Films |date=14 March 2009 |url=http://www.ageofstupid.net/news/dedications_what_you_need |accessdate=12 October 2009}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/blog/general/244-qmcaleer-is-a-disinformer-a-denier-a-liarq|title=Not Evil Just Wrong Website|accessdate=13 December 2009}} 7. ^[https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB110834031507653590 Wall Street Journal, In Climate Debate, The 'Hockey Stick' Leads to a Face Off, 14 February 2005] 8. ^Not Evil Just Wrong, The Hockey Stick Debunked Again, 28 September 2009 9. ^{{cite web | url=http://washingtonindependent.com/63648/conservative-media-pushes-anti-gore-documentary | title= Washington Independent}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Ann McElhinney |publisher=Greener Horizon Films |url=http://www.noteviljustwrong.com/film/filmmakers/ann-mcelhinney |accessdate=22 September 2010}} 11. ^[https://scienceblogs.com/deltoid/2006/06/29/the-ddt-ban-myth-that-will-not The DDT ban myth that will not die] 12. ^Not Evil Just Wrong, Contributors: Tiffany McElhany 13. ^{{cite web | url=http://washingtonindependent.com/63648/conservative-media-pushes-anti-gore-documentary | title=Washington Independent}} 14. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2009/11/tea-partiers-next-target-climate-bill|title=Tea Partiers' Next Target: The Climate Bill|last=Mencimer|first=Stephanie Mencimer|date=10 November 2009|work=Mother Jones|accessdate=10 November 2009}} 15. ^{{cite news | url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/article/711918--not-evil-just-wrong-challenges-environmental-claims | newspaper=Toronto Star | title=Not Evil Just Wrong challenges environmental claims | date=18 October 2009 | first=Jason | last=Anderson | accessdate=30 January 2018}} 16. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.heritage.org/press/events/ev101809a.cfm | publisher=Heritage Foundry | title=Not Evil Just Wrong | deadurl=yes | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20091224205143/http://www.heritage.org/press/events/ev101809a.cfm | archivedate=24 December 2009 | df=dmy-all }} 17. ^Washington Independent, Conservative Media Push Anti-Gore Documentary, October 14, 2009 18. ^Washington Times, An Inconvenient Rebuttal, 22 October 2009 19. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/view.asp?article=9561 | work=Online Opinion | title=Film review: 'Not Evil Just Wrong' | date=14 October 2009}} 20. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=About BEE |publisher=Balanced Education for Everyone |url=http://balanced-ed.org/about/#jump |accessdate=25 May 2010 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100415034019/http://balanced-ed.org/about/ |archivedate=15 April 2010 }} External links
