Before I would believe in Anthropogenic Global Warming, I would require that any alarmist arguing the theory watch THE GREAT GLOBAL WARMING SWINDLE, and produce refutation by CREDIBLE scientists of every point made in that film.

Not unsurprisingly, since the alarmists cannot dare to let this film go unattacked, the Wikipedia article about the film starts off with the statement that "The Great Global Warming Swindle is a polemical[1] documentary film that suggests that the scientific opinion on climate change is influenced by funding and political factors, and questions whether scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming exists. The program was formally criticised by Ofcom, the UK broadcasting regulatory agency, which upheld complaints of misrepresentation made by David King."

Whereas the Wikipedia article about Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth only buries a few sentences about the criticisms of that film at the very end of a long article. Of course, the article starts off with great praise and respect:

"An Inconvenient Truth is a 2006 documentary film directed by Davis Guggenheim about former United States Vice President Al Gore's campaign to educate citizens about global warming via a comprehensive slide show that, by his own estimate made in the film, he has given more than a thousand times.

Premiering at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and opening in New York City and Los Angeles on May 24, 2006, the documentary was a critical and box-office success, winning two Academy Awards for Best Documentary Feature and Best Original Song.[4] The film grossed $24 million in the U.S. and $26 million in the foreign box office, becoming the tenth highest grossing documentary film to date in the United States.[5]

The idea to document his efforts came from producer Laurie David who saw his presentation at a town-hall meeting on global warming which coincided with the opening of The Day After Tomorrow. Laurie David was so inspired by Gore's slide show that she, with producer Lawrence Bender, met with Guggenheim to adapt the presentation into a film.

Since the film's release, An Inconvenient Truth has been credited for raising international public awareness of climate change and reenergizing the environmental movement. The documentary has also been included in science curricula in schools around the world, which has spurred some controversy."

Well, judge for yourself. I watched The Great Global Warming Swindle several times in recent days, and I find it completely compelling.

I was telling a co-worker about this documentary last week, to give it a watch...she reads too much Yahoo News.
I ended up watching it again for the 5th or 6th time.
I urge everyone to watch this, and when urging someone sad about drowning polar bears...I urge them to watch “Inconvenient Truth” and “Great Global Warming Swindle” back to back.....”Inconvenient “ first.
It’s painful to watch AlGore’s movie, but necessary.

Later.

Big business will never let the message get out.

I think some real crimes were committed in pushing this fraudulent science, political and academic activity.

Bkmrk.

I’ve had this on my Youtube favorites since it first came out.

Good time to watch it again.

Thanks so much for posting this. I can’t imagine anyone with an IQ approaching body temp could not watch this without coming away knowing what a complete fraud that climate change dogma is.

The information in this video has gone over the heads of so-called scientists who have stooped down to the Government Trough for their swill. The easy hog slop causes the greedy bastards to sell their nation down the toilet for their self-serving interests. They should all be sued for all the money they have stolen from We the People who front their hog slop from taxes taken from our hard earned dollars.

I watched it when it was originally shown on PBS. That was the one and only time they showed it. Great stuff.
