Something that happened during the 1970's due to humans spewing aerosols into the atmosphere. Once we stopped spewing aerosols into the atmosphere, global cooling stopped, thus proving that human society CAN affect global climate. The concern over global cooling was exaggerated by Newsweek in the 1970's and as a result many conservatives completely distort the issue in order to attack the current scientific consensus on global warming.
That they do this based on a Newsweek article is bizarre considering that most of the time they complain about how the mainstream media distorts the news. Of course, in this instance Newsweek just so happened to NOT be distorting the news for some reason. At least according to many conservatives.

I'm sick and tired of hearing right-wing talk radio show hosts continuing to distort the global cooling of the 1970's.

A very leftist Hollywood documentary filmmaker who also writes some books. He has been accused by many of telling lies in his movies but I tend to believe that he is overall honest because he is an Eagle Scout.

A movie that takes place in Boston that's full of people talking in exaggerated Boston accents and Irish accents. Typically, such movies try to get the message across about just how great Boston is. Boston Movies often star actors who are native to Boston, such as Matt Damon, Mark Wahlberg, Robert Wahlberg, Ben Affleck and Casie Affleck. Such movies tend to be filled with special slang relevant specifically to Boston. Some of the well known Boston Movies are 'Good Will Hunting', 'The Boondock Saints' and 'The Departed'.
In light of its win of the Oscar for Best Picture, 'The Departed' is arguably the greatest Boston Movie.
