The Great Global Warming Swindle
This is the name of a documentary that was screened on England's Channel Four a few days ago, and is now available on You Tube. I watched it, it takes an hour and fifteen minutes, and I thought it very good. Better yet, thanks to the wonder of the internet, it's spreading unbelievably fast -- when I watched it yesterday, it had been viewed about 25 thousand times. Looking today, I see it's been watched about 125 thousand times. The word is out.
Most likely all the same criticism that was levelled at 'An Inconvenient Truth' can be levelled at this documentary too -- it's one sided, it makes no attempt to explore both sides of the issue, etc. But it does do one thing extremely well, it destroys the notion supported by global warming believers that the debate is over. I think it's pretty hard to watch this documentary and still conclude that there is no point in continuing the debate, even if you're not entirely won over by the arguments.
UPDATE: The original link was taken down on You Tube, but thankfully others are just breaking out all over, so I switched to a new one.
