The Great Global Warming Swindle
The response to the film, The Great Global Warming Swindle, has been overwhelming, and overwhelmingly positive. As Channel Four reported in Broadcast magazine, they were inundated with phone calls following the first transmission. They calculated that the calls were 6 to 1 in favour of the film. It would be nice to claim that this was due to the film itself, but in fact the explosion of interest happened before the film went out.
The coverage of the theory of man made global warming, on TV, radio and in the press, has been, broadly speaking, fawning and uncritical. In Britain, hours and hours of programmes have been broadcast by the BBC on the subject. All of it uncritical, much of it scientifically absurd. The very fact that a serious documentary dared to challenge the orthodoxy was itself news.
Why? Why have journalists been so craven or biased? How has a theory which lacks really solid supporting evidence become an undisputable fact? What of the impressive, much talked about scientific consensus which is meant to forestall any awkward questions?
The film made a humble stab at suggesting some lines of enquiry. When the theory of man made global warming finally dies, as we believe it will, there are many important questions to be asked. About the relationship between science, the media and the rest of us. But also about scientists and science. The scare over man made global warming may prove to be the first great example in the modern Western world, when science was betrayed by scientists themselves.
We had not intended to establish an official web-site for the film. But such is the demand for more information that we have no alternative. Over the coming days and weeks we will add more information, more links, more analysis, in the hope that the site may provide some focus for those who are still able to think independently and critically on this subject.
We thank the thousands of people who have sent encouraging messages of support and to the many scientists who have helped us.

The great power of socialism can even fix problems that don't exist.

The alternative to growing old is to die young.
So it seems, at least to me, the alternative to "Global Warming" is Global Cooling, also known as an "Ice Age".
Between these two choices, give me the Global Warming.

Climate change has happened many times before. It will continue happen. I guess people who love big government have to prove they have a solution for everything.

Al Gore must not get to Indiana much or he would understand how full of crap he is.

It claims volcanoes produce more CO2. Well, they don't:

One of their key witnesses was tricked and taken out of context:

I could go on. There are countless debunkings of this on the web. It's kind of sad nobody in this thread has questioned the validity of this movie.

It's a short thread. I think it was questioned in another of our many threads on the topic.

Good, if the opinions of the firearm community are going to be taken seriously we should make sure the majority of our members can at least understand the basic highschool-level and easily google-able science. You can argue the almost completely unanimous worldwide scientific community is wrong, but many of the arguments made in that documentary are so flawed it's not even funny.

But we've had plenty of rousing debate about climate change in other threads. Just look up Desertdog and scan his posts. It seems to be his favorite topic.

It gets mentioned in there too.
Around here we've mostly been pretending it's Christmas Day for the last month or so.
