I'm sure a lot of you have already heard of "The Great Global Warming Swindle" and seen it.
For those of you who don't know, it is a brilliant and fascinating and surprisingly entertaining documentary by British journalist Martin Durkin.
In the film the core ideology of the anti-humanitarian, neo-Marxist modern environmentalist movement is torn to shreds. Several experts make point-by-point explanations that show exactly why global warming is actually nothing more than a natural phenomenon triggered by the solar cycle.
The documentary even shows how the whole man-made global warming crowd have indirectly promoted a racist suppression of the developing world and caused the death of millions of poor people.
For free, here is the entire documentary:

I’ve always felt that the global warming issue was the excuse Big Petroleum companies were touting to the major governments in order to raise gas prices through the roof. Their way of servicing the environment by making you pay an arm and a leg to put a gallon of gas in you vehicle therefore causing you to make less trips to the market store or any place else but work. This viewpoint by the gas companies is plausible and accepted by world leadership. Come on they are just a bunch of good fellows trying to help you breath cleaner air and make a ton of $$$ while doing it. Oh and help you stay home and watch more FF. It warms my heart knowing that Big Government and Big Business are strolling hand in hand to help my health. The Alliance, I mean, Government cares about us.

Finally had a chance to watch that all the way through. Interesting.
I was struck by the fact that the WHO says up to 4 million children a year die from breathing indoor smoke from cooking fires. Get those people some electricity!

Actually no it didn't. It just pointed out some issues with the science which everyone already knew were there mixed in with a bunch of fud.
I'll also point out that they used the same sensational techniques that "the other side" uses that they criticize. The whole thing was quite hypocritical.
Sorry, but all this /movie/ was, was the anti-global warming people further muddying the waters. In all seriousness, the "scientists" on both sides should bloody well be embarrassed for things such as this.

Now I want to be clear...I haven't researched this info thoroughly, just skimmed it. The thing that struck me is how you described the documentary as entertaining. It's my experience that hard science is usually not entertaining. If you're being entertained, I would be suspicious. Because entertaining is what politicians and the media do to lock you in, as a viewer, or a voter. They also use anger but that's another story.
Anyway, give it a look, they discredit Martin Durkin and address the claims made inividually. I don't claim it's true, just thought you mght want to see it

Oh yah, I forgot to mention something.
Professor Tim Ball, which is the first guy that shows up in the movie, is listed as being from the Department of Climatology of the University of Winnipeg.
Well, here's two little facts that people might be interested in:
1) There is no such department at the University of Winnipeg
2) He wasn't a faculty member at the University of Winnipeg as of the making of this movie, not even close to it in fact. Poking around shows he retired in 1996.
Now, who's going to trust a "documentary" with these things going on? Better yet, who's _not_ going to question there ethics?

For those who don't want to go through the entire documentary, here's the gist:
Global warming does indeed exist, however human-produced CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not causing that warming. It is actually nothing more than a natural phenomenon triggered by the solar cycle.
Each day the news reports grow more fantastically apocalyptic. Politicians no longer dare to express any doubt about climate change. There is tremendous intolerance of any dissenting voice and it is the most politically incorrect thing possible - to doubt the climate change orthodoxy.
Global warming has gone beyond politics. It is a new kind of morality. Yet as the frenzy over man-made global warming grows shriller, many senior climate scientists say the actual scientific basis for the theory is crumbling.
It is often said that there is a consensus of thousands of scientists on the global warming issue, and that humans are causing a catastrophic change to the climate system. Well, there are many scientist that simply think that is not true.
We are told that Earth's climate is changing. But the Earth's climate is always changing. In Earth's long history there have been countless periods when it was much warmer and much cooler than it is today. When much of the world was covered by tropical forests or else vast ice sheets. The climate has always changed, and changed without any help from us humans.
We can trace the present warming trend back at least 200 years to the end of a very cold period in Earth's history. This cold spell is known to climatologists as the Little Ice Age. In the 14th Century Europe plunged into the Little Ice Age. And where we would look for evidence of this are the old illustrations and prints and pictures of Old Father Thames, because during the hardest and toughest winters of that Little Ice Age, the Thames would freeze over. And there were ice fairs held on the Thames, skating and people actually selling things on the ice.
If we look back further in time before the Little Ice Age, we find a balmy golden era, when temperatures were higher than they are today, a time known to climatologists as the Medieval Warm Period.
It's important people know that climate enabled a quite different lifestyle in the Medieval period. We have this view today that Warming is going to have apocalyptic outcomes. In fact wherever you describe this Warm Period it appears to be associated with riches. In Europe this was the great age of the cathedral builders, a time when, according to Chaucer, vineyards flourished even in the north of England. All over the city of London there are little memories of the vineyards that grew in the Medieval Warm Period.
So this was a wonderfully rich time. And this little church in a sense symbolizes it, because it comes from a period of great wealth.
Going back in time further still, before the Medieval Warm Period, we find more warm spells, including a very prolonged period during the Bronze Age known to geologists as the Holocene Maximum, when temperatures were significantly higher than they are now for more than three millennia.
If we go back 8,000 years in the Holocene period, our current interglacial, it was much warmer than it is today. Now the polar bears obviously survived that period, they're with us today, they're very adaptable, and these warm periods in the past, what we call, posed no problem for them.
Climate variation in the past is clearly natural. In the current alarm about global warming the culprit is industrial society. Thanks to modern industry, luxuries once enjoyed exclusively by the rich are now available in abundance to ordinary people. Novel technologies have made life easier and richer. Modern transport and communications have made the world seem less foreign and distant. Industrial progress has changed our lives. According to the theory of man-made global warming, industrial growth should cause the temperature to rise.
Anyone who goes around and says that carbon dioxide is responsible for most of t

For those that don't want to read CrevanReaver's post it's mostly the same sophistry that is presented in this laughable "documentary" and elsewhere on the net.
