LONDON -- With a packet of claims that are almost certain to defy conventional wisdom, a television documentary to be aired in Britain this week condemns man-made global warming as a myth that has become "the biggest scam of modern times."
The program titled "The Great Global Warming Scandal" and set for screening by TV Channel 4 on Thursday dismisses claims that high levels of greenhouse gases generated by human activity causes climate change. Instead, the program suggests that the sun itself is the real culprit.
The documentary, directed by filmmaker Martin Durkin, is at odds with scientific opinion as outlined in a United Nations report in February, which blames mankind for global warming.
In his program, Mr. Durkin rejects the concept of man-made climate change, calling it "a lie ... the biggest scam of modern times."
The truth, he says, is that global warming "is a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry, created by fanatically anti-industrial environmentalists, supported by scientists peddling scare stories to chase funding, and propped up by compliant politicians and the media."
Channel 4 says that the program features "an impressive roll-call of experts," including nine professors, who are experts in climatology, oceanography, meteorology, biogeography and paleoclimatology.
It also says the experts come from prestigious institutions such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Pasteur Institute in Paris, the Danish National Space Center and universities and other schools in London, Ottawa, Jerusalem, Alabama, Virginia and Winnipeg, Canada.
"It's very rare that a film changes history," says Martin Durkin, "but I think this is a turning point, and in five years the idea that the greenhouse effect is the main reason behind global warming will be seen as total bunk," he says.

Created by fanatically anti-industrial environmentalists? Nope. Communists.
No one will be tired of it when your electricity rates go another 25% to pay for this carbon trading nonsense.
Another sign of proof that Global WarmingTM is a religion to the whackjobs is that they will dismiss these experts out of hand but swallow hook, line and sinker whatever their divinity school drop-out high priest tells them.
Good news!
No those best friends of the US - the UN and the anti-globalists - did. Throw in Europe which is using Kyoto to try to end the US' competitive advantage against their stagnant economies and lack of entrepreneurship, and you have an array of Lilliputian forces trying to tie down Gulliver.
It is spelled J-O-K-E, now roll on floor.
A card house poised to crumble. Too bad! There are some really good ideas about conservation and resource management in the movement. But, the zealots want to sell a myth for power at the expense of the achievements.
AlGore invented the internet first just to deliver his message about global warming. That's how much foresight this man has. </sarcasm>
"The program titled "The Great Global Warming Scandal" ...."
Actually, it's "The Great Global Warming Swindle"
