"Eight years after Al Gore's Academy Award-winning climate-science documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, a prominent climate-skeptic group announced a crowdfunding initiative on Tuesday to produce a documentary that will provide their perspective on the issue. \nOf course, nearly the entire climate-science community disagrees with this perspective.\nSee also: In Commencement Speech, Obama Unloads on Climate Change 'Deniers'\nThe Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT), a conservative group, announced its filmmaking endeavor in Las Vegas at an annual meeting of global-warming skeptics, which is being hosted by libertarian group The Heartland Institute. The conference began Monday, and ends on Wednesday. \nTitled The Climate Hustle the film project has already raised around $12,000 from more than 130 backers. The initial fundraising goal is $50,000, which the project's website says will be followed up with a goal of $200,000 for production costs. \n\nMarc Morano, a political operative and frequent guest commentator on Fox News who has tangled with many climate scientists over the years, is spearheading The Climate Hustle. The project's website boasts that Morano was declared \"Climate Misinformer of the Year\" by liberal-media watchdog group Media Matters in 2012. He is the former spokesman for Oklahoma Republican Senator James Inhofe, who has called manmade climate change \"The greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.\"\nThe trailer, which was shown at the Las Vegas meeting, portrays a series of climate doomsday predictions that have not come to pass, and features a pensive, scared and sad-looking Gore.\nThe climate-skeptic convention has featured a number of speeches that have put forward a completely different narrative about global warming compared to what scientists have shown is actually happening, and what U.S. President Barack Obama's administration has acted on. Instead of accelerating climate-change impacts, speakers have said global warming has stopped, and will soon reverse itself. \nSome of the conference has been difficult to follow, with speaker after speaker declaring at the top of their speech, \"I am not a scientist, but...\"\nOn Monday night, for example, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-California) delivered a keynote address in which he reportedly criticized water fluoridation, and alleged that global warming, the depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain were all nonexistent problems, according to VICE News:\n\"I don't know whether or not fluoridating the water helps people's teeth become better or not,\" said Rohrabacher. \"I don't know that,\" he continued, \"But I do know that in this country, we should be the ones who should be deciding what we put into our bodies one way or the other, not the federal government or the local government putting fluoride into our water!\" \nIn reality, the vast majority of climate scientists have demonstrated through multiple lines of evidence \u2014 from rising sea levels to melting land-based glaciers \u2014 that manmade global warming is real, and that the only scientific debate worth having anymore concerns the scale and magnitude of its future impacts. \nStill, a film arguing the opposite view, however inaccurate it may be, might at least be entertaining...\nHave something to add to this story?
