A new TV documentary to be shown on March 8th in England takes on Al Gore and his man made global warming claim. The not so subtle title, The Great Global Warming Swindle is backed by renowned scientists concerned with bad science and the effects that warming propaganda might have on the worlds poor. The following are a few snips from the article Global Warming is Lies Claims Documentary
Nobody in the documentary defends the greenhouse effect theory, as it claims that climate change is natural, has been occurring for years, and ice falling from glaciers is just the spring break-up and as normal as leaves falling in autumn.
“You can see the problems with the science of global warming, but people just dont believe you its taken ten years to get this commissionedAl Gore might have won an Oscar for An Inconvenient Truth, but the film is very misleading and he has got the relationship between CO2 and climate change the wrong way round.” Director Martin Durkin
One major piece of evidence of CO2 causing global warming are ice core samples from Antarctica, which show that for hundreds of years, global warming has been accompanied by higher levels of CO2 in the atmosphereIn The Great Global Warming Swindle Al Gore is shown claiming this proves the theory, but palaeontologist Professor Ian Clark claims in the documentary that it actually shows the oppositeProf Clark believes increased levels of CO2 are because the Earth is heating up and not the cause. He says most CO2 in the atmosphere comes from the oceans, which dissolve the gasWhen the temperature increases, more gas is released into the atmosphere and when global temperatures cool, more CO2 is taken in. Because of the immense size of the oceans, he said they take time to catch up with climate trends, and this memory effect is responsible for the lag.
Some, who appear to be disinterested, are themselves getting billions of dollars of research money from the government…”The few millions of dollars of research money from multinationals cant compare to government funding, so you find the American scientific establishment is all for man-made global warmingWe have the same situation in Britain The governments chief scientific advisor Sir David King is supposed to be the representative of all that is good in British science, so it is disturbing he and the government are ignoring a raft of evidence against the greenhouse effect being the main driver against climate change.”
Philip Stott, professor emeritus of biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London , who also features in the film warned the issue was too complex to be down to one single factor, whether CO2 or cloudsHe said: “The greenhouse effect theory worried me from the start because you cant say that just one factor can have this effectThe system is too complex to say exactly what the effect of cutting back on CO2 production would be, or indeed of continuing to produce CO2Its ridiculous to see politicians arguing over whether they will allow the global temperature to rise by 2C or 3C.”
“Its very rare that a film changes history, 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 bollocks. Director Martin Durkin
You gotta love the spicey language of those Brits!
