The Great Global Warming Swindle

In this controversial film, we see an argument against the majority scientific consensus that global warming is man made.  This film sparked outrage in the scientific community as well as those who were interviewed who felt that they were “swindled” into saying what the producer wanted. Check out what the controversy is all about!

The documentary is right on target. The description provided by Documentary Tube, however, is typical “Church of Global Warming” rhetoric. Let the documentary speak for itself. The scientists in the documentary knew exactly what they were saying and made well thought out and supported arguments. A person can’t even view the program and make their own conclusions. The description written by Global Warming Apologists strives to invalidate the program even before the viewer sees it. Typical liberal propaganda.

Criticism from two scientists featured in the programme

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][32] He called the film “grossly distorted” and “as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two.”[33], and he lodged a complaint with Ofcom. He particularly objected to how his interview material was used:

“Eigil Friis-Christensen

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 defence 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.[8]”

The Global Warming deniers are the same as the people a few decades ago who said there was not enough scientific evidence too show that tobacco causes cancer.

Au contraire. You are the denier. Why can’t the left allow scientists speak on behalf of the other side? There are hundreds of them, and they aint Flat Earthers. Since weathermen can hardly predict next week’s weather, what makes all you global warming hysterians think that mankind can predict the Earth’s weather a hundred years in advance, or even 20? Just imagine if we’re about to enter the next Ice Age. Global Warming might save out butt. You guys are so rigid in your thinking. Some species might thrive with global warming, including man. Some cities will revive. Still, it hasn’t been proven that global warming is manmade, not by a longshot. Read ALL the evidence.

Well said Don ;)

if global warming is really caused by CO2 then the cure is to let the trees take it in or to launch a few hundred nukes at america (who guzzle most of the oil and food in the world) and that would give the rest of us a chance, a chance to recolonize america and a chance to live the fallout dream

Well said, Joe. Ignore the science at your peril. Where is the true scientific evidence to refute Global Warming? There isn’t any. The overwhelming scientific evidence supports man-made global warming.

Hey, i found many of the information seekers and givers here, that’s why trying to locate the facts….

Are we all Dying soon?

I have been threatened by the author of this blog about the complete destruction of earth and end of human race on earth…Do you think whatever he is saying is going to happen? Please take your valued time and explain your expert lookout to reassure me.

The religion is flawed. There is no ‘majority consensus’ about the cause of global warming if it does exist in the long term. Wanna know the truth? Follow the money! How else ais a flock of meteorologists going to get a paycheck if they don’t try to create a sense of doom and forboding. The cathedrals of pop science are crumbling so the believers are feaking. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Think of how so many of us mock those ignorant folks from centuries past for their poor scientific understanding, glad I won’t be around when future generations judge us. P.S. It’s DENIAL not denile. The deniers are those that persist in believing a debunked tenant of your social religion. God save us from ALL fanatics, yet pity them for they are blind.

why not trying to look at solar winds and sunspots, if somethings getting hotter dont you generally look at the heatsource first?

google it! ;)

Why not try looking at solar waves and sunspots? If something gets hot dont you generally look at the source of the heat first?

Actually over 30′000 scientists from all over the globe have signed a petition to squash the idea that global warming is man made. Links below

Global warming is happening but nowhere near the rates the UN were claiming it was going to get to (4-5 degrees) Infact Lord Christopher Monckton senior advisor to Margaret Thatcher speaks about the paper which proves this in his speech, its totally correct go find it for yourselfs. Basically if we burned all our remaining fossil fuels we would get an increase in temperature from 0.5 to 0.7 degrees celsius. Its all in black and white go read it. Link to Lord Monckton below, its long but worth watching if you want to know your onions about “global warming” Enjoy!
