Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

dave-604-124299 By Thomas Sowell...Britain's Channel 4 has produced a devastating documentary titled "The Great Global Warming Swindle." It has apparently not been broadcast by any of the networks in the United States. But, fortunately, it is available on the Internet.Distinguished scientists specializing in climate and climate-related fields talk in plain English and present readily understood graphs showing what a crock the current global warming hysteria is.These include scientists from MIT and top-tier universities in a number of countries. Some of these are scientists whose names were paraded on some of the global warming publications that are being promoted in the media -- but who state plainly that they neither wrote those publications nor approved them.One scientist threatened to sue unless his name was removed.While the public has been led to believe that "all" the leading scientists buy the global warming hysteria and the political agenda that goes with it, in fact the official reports from the United Nations or the National Academy of Sciences are written by bureaucrats -- and then garnished with the names of leading scientists who were "consulted," but whose contrary conclusions have been ignored.There is no question that the globe is warming but it has warmed and cooled before, and is not as warm today as it was some centuries ago, before there were any automobiles and before there was as much burning of fossil fuels as today.None of the dire things predicted today happened then. CARTOONS | Jerry Holbert View CartoonThe British documentary goes into some of the many factors that have caused the earth to warm and cool for centuries, including changes in activities on the sun, 93 million miles away and wholly beyond the jurisdiction of the Kyoto treaty.According to these climate scientists, human activities have very little effect on the climate, compared to many other factors, from volcanoes to clouds.These climate scientists likewise debunk the mathematical models that have been used to hype global warming hysteria, even though hard evidence stretching back over centuries contradicts these models.What is even scarier than seeing how easily the public, the media, and the politicians have been manipulated and stampeded, is discovering how much effort has been put into silencing scientists who dare to say that the emperor has no clothes.Academics who jump on the global warming bandwagon are far more likely to get big research grants than those who express doubts -- and research is the lifeblood of an academic career at leading universities.Environmental movements around the world are committed to global warming hysteria and nowhere more so than on college and university campuses, where they can harass those who say otherwise. One of the scientists interviewed on the British documentary reported getting death threats.In politics, even conservative Republicans seem to have taken the view that, if you can't lick 'em, join 'em. So have big corporations, which have joined the stampede.This only enables the green crusaders to declare at every opportunity that "everybody" believes the global warming scenario, except for a scattered few "deniers" who are likened to Holocaust deniers.The difference is that we have the hardest and most painful evidence that there was a Holocaust. But, for the global warming scenario that is causing such hysteria, we have only a movie made by a politician and mathematical models whose results change drastically when you change a few of the arbitrarily selected variables.No one denies that temperatures are about a degree warmer than they were a century ago.What the climate scientists in the British documentary deny is that you can mindlessly extrapolate that, or that we are headed for a climate catastrophe if we don't take drastic steps that could cause an economic catastrophe."Global warming" is just the latest in a long line of hysterical crusades to which we seem to be increasingly susceptible.

TheBlueHairedLawyer I love pollution and don't care what I do to the environment, and when people see me littering or spraying pesticides, they shout at me and start their hippie lectures, it's highly pathetic and annoying. So I was trying to find a film that explained the other side of the global warming issue, and like this film says...There is no 'global warming issue!' Global warming is a natural cycle, not caused by man but on its own, and this film has the scientific data to back this up. Not only is it informative but it is also not biased the way Al Gore's 'an Inconvenient Truth' was. Decide for yourself which one you'd rather be; uninformed environmentalist hippie fighting for a cause that isn't there, or an educated individual who learns that there are two sides to every story. This is an excellent film and it deserves a 10/10.

J.T. Oordenaar Misreprisentations of facts, incorrect graphs, irrelevant correlations, bogus surveys... this documentary is an insult to climate science.Examples (source: Wikipedia):"Carl Wunsch, professor of Physical Oceanography at MIT, is featured in the Channel 4 version of the programme. Afterwards he said that he was "completely misrepresented" in the film and had been "totally misled" when he agreed to be interviewed.[7][30] He called the film "grossly distorted" and "as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two",[31] and he lodged a complaint with Ofcom. He particularly objected to how his interview material was used:In the part of The Great Climate Change Swindle where I am describing the fact that the ocean tends to expel carbon dioxide where it is warm, and to absorb it where it is cold, my intent was to explain that warming the ocean could be dangerous—because it is such a gigantic reservoir of carbon. By its placement in the film, it appears that I am saying that since carbon dioxide exists in the ocean in such large quantities, human influence must not be very important—diametrically opposite to the point I was making—which is that global warming is both real and threatening.""Eigil Friis-Christensen's research was used to support claims about the influence of solar activity on climate, both in the programme and Durkin's subsequent defense of it. Friis-Christensen, with environmental Research Fellow Nathan Rive, criticised the way the solar data were used:We have concerns regarding the use of a graph featured in the documentary titled 'Temp & Solar Activity 400 Years'. Firstly, we have reason to believe that parts of the graph were made up of fabricated data that were presented as genuine. The inclusion of the artificial data is both misleading and pointless. Secondly, although the narrator commentary during the presentation of the graph is consistent with the conclusions of the paper from which the figure originates, it incorrectly rules out a contribution by anthropogenic greenhouse gases to 20th century global warming."volume 20 of the Bulletin of the Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society presented a critique by David Jones, Andrew Watkins, Karl Braganza and Michael Coughlan. The Great Global Warming Swindle does not represent the current state of knowledge in climate science… Many of the hypotheses presented in the Great Global Warming Swindle have been considered and rejected by due scientific process. This documentary is far from an objective, critical examination of climate science. Instead the Great Global Warming Swindle goes to great lengths to present outdated, incorrect or ambiguous data in such a way as to grossly distort the true understanding of climate change science, and to support a set of extremely controversial views.""Thirty-seven British scientists signed a letter of complaint, saying that they "believe that the misrepresentations of facts and views, both of which occur in your programme, are so serious that repeat broadcasts of the programme, without amendment, are not in the public interest. In view of the seriousness of climate change as an issue, it is crucial that public debate about it is balanced and well-informed"."If you're interested in Climate Change (we have reason to be interested in it), BBC 'climate crisis' series, Chasing Ice, and of course Al Gore's TED talks are recommended.

Mauricio Puga I'll start talking about this documentary as it should be, honestly: it is a fraud.It's presented as a serious movie, but it doesn't take long until you realize that there's something wrong about it. Anybody who has already made a little research about Global Warming know that today's temperature are higher than in the so called "Medieval Warm Period". The graph this movie shows about the recorded temperature shows us that the temperature nowadays are way lower than in that period. I thought myself: "there's something wrong about that", and I decided to make again, a little research about it. Yes, it is a LIE. Pure, unmasked LIE. The period showed by the graph as "NOW" is actually about 1990~1995. Woah, a movie made in 2007 using a 12~15 year-old graph? That doesn't make sense. Why? Because if they had used the graph showing the temperature in, say, 2005, it wouldn't fit to their claims.There's a lot more misinformation about it than just that. I'll just leave here a link for those interested: http://www.durangobill.com/Swindle_Swindle.htmlIf you think that this movie is real, please, read the information on that link. Please! Don't let people fool yourself. Also, there was a debate on the Australian Television "ABC" about this movie with real experts which debunked almost everything in this pseudo-documentary. Look for it over at google and you'll find.
