The Great Global Warming Swindle
Clive:
Thanks very much Gill and Sandra. I've made a note to watch it on More4 next Monday night at 10pm. Good timing for me as that's the time I get home from my ballroom dancing! ;D

SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTARY: The Great Global Warming Swindle
On: more4 (13)
Date: Monday 12th March 2007 (starting in 3 days)
Time: 22:00 to 23:40 (1 hour and 40 minutes long)
Polemical film challenging the consensus that man-made CO2 is heating up the earth. Featuring leading academics, the film questions the science behind the accepted reasons for global warming and argues other explanations for climate change are not being properly aired.

Sandra:
I watched it this evening, I always thought that man was way to insignificant to cause the climate change problems that we were being accused of, I have posted quite a few times in other threads saying that I thought it was cyclical.
This program seemed to prove beyond any reasonable doubt that I was right all along, did you ever doubt me folks ;D
Apparently Maggie Thatcher was initially to blame for causing the misconception that it was all our fault.
So thats another devastating blow that she has caused the ordinary people of the UK, by allowing the government to tax us on everything we do now, in the name of supposedly preventing global warming ::)
I wonder if there will be a similar type of programme made to try and dismiss the scientists claims in that programme ?
Clive:
I watched it last night and have to say it was better than I dared hope. Many of the scientists they interviewed are very well respected and their views just have to be taken seriously. None of them were the "usual suspect" crackpots we often see on our screens. I thought that the programme dug quite deeply into the politics to show how this movement has world governments by the short and curlies, forcing them to obey their every whim. I have attended literally hundreds of scientific lectures (mainly astronomy) over the years and have yet to meet face to face a scientist who supports the theory that man is to blame for global warming. All claim it to be caused by the Sun or volcanos.
Simon:
I hope to watch this soon, so are they saying there's nothing we can do about it?
