Armed with the backing of three prominent climate scientists, radio talk show host Phil Valentine has released "An Inconsistent Truth." The movie seeks to provide a humorous but thought-provoking counterpoint to global warming alarmism that warns of mankind’s impending doom.
Through his nationally syndicated radio show, Valentine has long railed against the belief that man is the driver behind Earth’s climate. One of his favorite targets has been fellow Tennessee resident and former Vice President Al Gore.
Along with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Gore won the Nobel Prize in 2007 "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change.”
Gore’s film "An Inconvenient Truth," based on his book by the same name, won an Academy Award. A subsequent book, "Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis," and his speaking schedule have kept the former vice president in the public eye.
He has also been the subject of a great deal of controversy. Errors in his book and movie added fuel to the fires of his detractors and his over the top hyperbole has been said to hurt his cause.
Valentine calls upon the expertise of Dr. John Christy, Dr. Fred Singer and Dr. Roy Spencer, all eminent scientists in the field of climate studies. While the three don’t necessarily dispute the notion that the globe is warming, they do express doubts that it is man driving the increasing temperatures.
Two years in the making, Valentine’s movie was released on Friday in Nashville. It is expected to soon see wider distribution thanks to its healthy numbers making it the top-grossing movie per screen in the nation over the weekend.

Film synopsis:
From director Shayne Edwards and award-winning radio host Phil Valentine, An Inconsistent Truth takes you along for the ride on one man’s quest for the truth. Many people believe in man-made global warming but they don’t know why. This is one of the most important issues of our day yet the average American knows so very little about what’s really going on. Is that by design? Who stands to make billions off cap-and-trade legislation? Why do those who raise their voices the loudest lead the most wasteful lifestyles? Is carbon dioxide really a pollutant or is it a harmless gas that’s essential to life here on Earth?
This movie is an entertaining, fact-filled odyssey that will have you thinking, cheering and laughing. Phil Valentine goes straight to the experts and so-called experts and demands to know the truth. And the truth just may change your life.
Join Phil as he climbs aboard Bennie the “BioBenz”, a car that runs on biodiesel that Phil makes from used vegetable oil. Phil talks with scientists and politicians and relentlessly pursues an audience with the poster boy of global warming, the man who brought the world An Inconvenient Truth – Al Gore. Phil takes the punches and throws a few himself. He sifts through all the data and hyperbole and distills it down to one easy to understand and fun-filled motion picture.
