About Cool It
Widely known as "the skeptical environmentalist," Danish scientist and gadfly Bjorn Lomborg has been vilified for his views on climate change. In this documentary, a companion to his book of the same name, Lomborg expounds on his opinion that the earth is not facing an imminent environmental catastrophe, contrary to the prevailing opinion of the scientific community. The filmmakers follow him as he travels the planet sharing his views in a series of interviews and lectures. …

Fukushima nuclear disaster: Japan to release radioactive water into sea this year
By Grace TsoiBBC News
Japan says it will release More Than A Million tonnes of water into The Sea from the destroyed Fukushima Nuclear Power plant this year.
After treatment The Levels of most radioactive particles meet The National standard, The Operator said.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) says The Proposal is safe, but neighbouring countries have voiced concern.
The 2011 Fukushima disaster was the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl.
Decommissioning has already started but could take four decades.
" We expect the timing of the release would be sometime during this spring or summer, " said chief cabinet secretary Hirokazu Matsuno on Friday, adding that the government will wait for a " comprehensive report" from IAEA before the release.
Every Day , The Plant produces 100 cubic metres of contaminated water, which is a mixture of groundwater, seawater and water used to keep the reactors cool. It is then filtered and stored in tanks.
With More Than 1. 3 million cubic metres on site, space is running out.
The water is filtered for most radioactive isotopes, but The Level of tritium is above The National standard, operator Tepco said. Experts say tritium is very difficult to remove from water and is only harmful to humans in large doses.
However, neighbouring countries and local fishermen oppose The Proposal , which was approved by the Japanese government in 2021.
The Pacific Islands Forum has criticised Japan for the lack of transparency.
" Pacific peoples are coastal peoples, and The Ocean continues to be an integral part of their subsistence living, " Forum Secretary General Henry Puna told news website.
" Japan is breaking The Commitment that their leaders have arrived at when we held our high level summit in 2021.
" It was agreed that we would have access to all independent scientific and verifiable scientific evidence before this discharge takes place. Unfortunately, Japan has not been co-operating. "
North-eastern Japan was rocked by a Magnitude 9 . 0 earthquake on 11 March 2011, which then triggered a giant tsunami.
The Waves hit the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, flooding three reactors and sparking a Major Disaster .
Authorities Set Up an exclusion zone which grew larger and larger as radiation leaked from The Plant , forcing More Than 150,000 people to evacuate from the area. The Zone remains in place.
