How did you enjoy Mark Morano's epic film, "Climate Hustle"?

Missed it? Shucks. Actually, based on some of the reports I read, you were one of the lucky ones...

It was shown in 400 theaters across the United States on 2 May 2016, and closed the same day - apparently the wrong sort of people were threatening to attend.

But just so you aren't completely left out of the loop, here's a couple of reviews to give you a flavour of the thing
Wikipedia
 
The Guardian was critical of the film's "dismissing global warming as an excuse for government takeover and [making] the outrageously false claim that rising carbon emissions are beneficial."

The Washington Post called it a "tour through the arguments that some holdout scientists do still make to undermine mainstream climate concerns." The Post challenges the validity of several of the film's claims directly, which it characterizes as "the same things they've been arguing for many years, albeit with regular touch-ups."

Ars Technica likened the film's style to a "Gish Gallop", calling it "a fast-paced, uninterrupted delivery of superficial and false claims about climate science" which forms "an 80-minute-long list of all the climate 'skeptic' blogosphere's favorite claims."

The film features a number of expert testimonies in support of its claims. According to Scott K. Johnson of Ars Technica, those that "could fair call themselves climate scientists drawn from the small stable of familiar contrarians that cycle through Congressional hearing when contrarian witnesses are in demand" while others are "straight out of the Rolodex of the Heartland Institute". (Koch funded, in other words.)
Pretty much exactly what I told you it would be a year ago, when you first mentioned you wanted to see it.

I hope you aren't too disappointed.

Hope that helps

No doubt progressives who wanted to shut down his right to show it and other peoples freedom to watch it.

Nope. People who actually understand science, and would rip it apart in the next morning's paper.

That's assuming that their laughter during its performance didn't totally destroy the showing...

No, that is not what you implied or was reported.

Actually Brew, my brother interviewed an MIT scientist for two hours on his radio show. The listeners received the straight facts. There is no climate change as you and your articles by all of those so called scientists claim. The nature of the Sun, the cycle through the path around the Galaxy. There was so much detail I needed to re-listen twice. Enjoy your fantasy trip, I'm not buying any of it.

But we do need to lower the population due to resources.

Even those dummies at NASA
acknowledge that climate change is real
and at least in part caused by man.

Why, oh why do they not call Berton or Pat
and get the real scoop?

Perhaps then, they could try to build a rocket
or something!

Follow the money trail Sea Dog. They say what their pay masters tell them to say.

The climate is constantly changing, ask the dinosaurs. I told you but you ignored me, I listened to a real MIT scientist explain the sun and the process as it goes through the cycles and orbits the Milky Way. Expect more. Do you know how hot it was when the big boys walked the Earth?

The greenies need to go back to blowing up Cadillac Escalade's and tree sitting for the Spotted Owls. They are out of their league with complex climate prediction.
