The Great Global Warming Swindle

One of very few pieces of any medium that will actually make you a dumber person. It's not the Michael Moore movie of the right wing; it's the TRIUMPH OF THE WILL of the Republican Party. There's not a lot of truth, entertainment value, or legitimate scientific research in this thing that pretends to be a documentary. Nothing redeeming. For the love of science and truth, don't even waste a nanosecond on this drivel. In fact, stop reading this review. Any publicity for this is bad.

If a rube like myself can find flaws in your arguments, its safe to assume you are being disingenuous.

My Grade 10 Social Studies teacher made us watch this alongside An Inconvenient Truth as an exercise in "examining and evaluating both sides of an argument" or some BS like that. Except in this case, one side (whether consciously or not) has a complete misunderstanding of both science and the scientific method and purposefully cherry-picks it's facts and data to build a narrative that doesn't hold up to any critical thinking, peer review or logic. And that's not how science works.

Exactly what you'd expect; "they're trying to silence us", "the climate has always changed", fabricated graphs and numbers, panic about how eco-sustainability is hurting everyone, and of course the audacious claim that the scientific consensus on climate change is a money-making scheme; neglecting to mention the many billions that the fossil fuel industry invests in politics and propaganda for astronomical returns (in fact, I suspect the interviewees' stock portfolios).

Not the most well-made documentary ever, but much needed, since schools keep teaching manmade global warming as a proven fact. The oil industry without a doubt are greedy bastards capable of lying, but the same holds equally well for the Al Gore camp. This is one of the trickiest issues to make up your mind of. Personally I've come to the conclusion that AGW more likely than not is a fat lie, but it's quite trivial in practice since the tech to go full-sustainable is all there already.

MUST SEE movie debunking the lies regarding climate change which are used politically to drive massive funding and tax agendas worldwide which will in effect further oppress people economically.

Really demonizes those who believe that control and regulation of industrial waste and pollution should be monitored and feels like a Michael Moore from the right "documentary." It complete ignores the movement to reduce our emissions by utilizing new or more effecient technology. I'll admit I think humans directly affect global warming and should be addressed seriously but this documentary oozes bias and feels like something by Fox News or by the massive oil companies.
