Thanks to Ezra Levant and the Rebel Media crew for airing a segment promoting The Environment: A True Story. And thanks to all the Rebel viewers who responded by backing the documentary and got us past 62% and counting.Won't you join them, and see if we can get to 66% by the end of today? We literally cannot make these documentaries without your help. So if you want common sense and sound science on climate change, make a Kickstarter pledge now. P.S. If you want to support the documentary but are more comfortable sending a cheque, email jr- at – johnrobson – dot – ca and we'll give you the mailing address.
In my latest National Post column, I express frustration that Republicans can't manage to get rid of Obamacare just because it's a really bad law, and then go on and repeal more bad stuff.
UPDATE: Thanks to Mike van Lammeren and Isabel Gibson who stepped up and put us past 60%. Now we need your help to get to the next milestone at 66%... then on to 75%, 90% and full funding. The deadline for making our target is April 16 and we can't do it without you. ---------------
The Environment: A True Story documentary project is this close to being 60% funded. Who wants to make the next pledge and get us past that mark?
It won't get us into the homestretch. There's still a ways to go, and just over 17 days in which to cover it. But if you want common sense and sound science on the issue of "man-made" climate change, won't you be the next contributor and push us past 60%?
P.S. If you've already backed the project, thank you again, and please share it as widely as possible.

Danielle Smith with AM770 in Calgary interviewed me last Friday (I was in the lobby of the hotel during a break in the Heartland Institute Climate Change conference) on what happens if reputable opinion is intolerantly wrong on "man-made" climate change.

Amazing! We just reached the half-way point on our Kickstarter funding campaign for The Environment: A True Story. Thanks so much to everyone who backed it. Now let's push on to 2/3, 3/4 and full funding because we're not out of the woods yet (or into them, depending where we film) and with Kickstarter, it's all or nothing. I'm convinced the time is right for this documentary showing how the alarmists' claims, and computer modeling, just aren't compatible with actual evidence. All that we know about the past history of the Earth, and the present, doesn't fit what they're telling us they know about the future.
So thanks to everyone who has already backed the project, and please continue helping us spread the word. If you're not yet a supporter, please make a pledge today and stand up against bad policy driven by bad science and shrill rhetoric, and in favour of civil discussion and common sense.
P.S. As I said from the outset, the $50,000 target is the minimum I need to make the film. Once we reach that number, and I'm confident we will, please continue sharing it until the April 16 deadline so we can afford the equipment, travel and graphics to make the best documentary possible.
