Cool It (film)
Cool It is a 2010 documentary film based on the book Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming by Danish political scientist Bjørn Lomborg. The film stars Lomborg, best known for authoring The Skeptical Environmentalist. It premiered in September in Canada at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival and had a theatrical United States release on November 12, 2010. The film was directed by Ondi Timoner.
Content
The film focuses on Lomborg lecturing and brainstorming ideas to make the environmental movement less propagandistic and more realistic, which includes de-emphasizing efforts to stop global warming. Interviews include many scientists and activists both supporting and disputing Lomborg. It also explicitly challenges Al Gore's Oscar-winning environmental awareness documentary, An Inconvenient Truth (2006), and was frequently presented by the media in that light, as in the Wall Street Journal headline, "Controversial ‘Cool It’ Documentary Takes on 'An Inconvenient Truth'."
Cool It (TV series)
Cool It is a British television comedy series which first aired on BBC Two between 1985 and 1990. It was a vehicle for comedian Phil Cool.
Impressions ranged from political and important figures such as Robin Day, Roy Hattersly, Arthur Scargill, Neil Kinnock, The Pope and Ronald Reagan to popular celebrities, comedians and musicians such as Mick Jagger, Bryan Ferry, Mike Harding, Terry Wogan, Billy Connolly, Clive James, Rik Mayall and his signature impression, Rolf Harris. Fictional characters like Quasimodo, Bugs Bunny and E.T were also impersonated; Cool even created personalities for inanimate objects such as Morris Minors and Volkswagen Beetles.
Series 1
The first series of three, 25-minute episodes were first broadcast between 30 August and 13 September 1985, on Fridays at 10pm. Cool wrote all of the material for this series himself. The series was made on a shoestring budget; the set was very basic, with a relatively small audience and barely any props to assist him.

Cool It Down
by: AshHot as hell, under the spell
Head spinning 'round on a carousel
Burning concrete under your feet
Radical heat, stop your heartbeat
Temper, temper don't blow a fuse
When you break down, no you ain't no use
If you screw up, yeah you know it's true
Everybody gonna just step on you
You gotta try to work it out
Gotta cool it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Going down the drain
Gotta learn to tame your monkey brain
Gotta cool it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Electric shot, delinquent rock
At the guillotine with your head on the block
You're getting so high that you don't even know
Pretty soon you're gonna get vertigo
Ya alienate as you deviate
All the people that used to relate
Creating the hate as you circulate
As you orchestrate, it's the truth I state
You gotta try to work it out
Gotta find out find out what it's all about
Gotta cool it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Going down the drain
Gotta learn to tame your monkey brain
Gotta coll it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
From the dirty south, with your dirty mouth
Bad attitude, gotta knock it out
Boiling point, gonna torch the joint
And no one'll hear you shout
Hazy horizon, temperature rising
Hotter every day
Getting high on your own supply
Gonna throw it all away
You gotta try to work it out
Gotta find out find out what it's all about
Gotta cool it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Going down the drain
Gotta learn to tame your monkey brain
Gotta cool it down oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
