DVD Reviews of The Great Global Warming Swindle (DVD)

DVD Review: Continued obfuscation by big industry
Summary: 1 Stars

While healthy debate about global issues is important, this film is quite clearly lobsided and continues to blur the public debate on the issue of global climate change. It makes the absurd claim that most climate scientists are sell-outs (protecting their own careers) but that the naysayers are free from bias (despite being funded by big energy companies). Worse yet, they toss out the cautionary principle - suggesting that a move towards alternative energy is a way to keep developing nations poor. While the world powers may want to keep a segment of the world's population poor, I don't think they are inventing human-influenced global warming to carry out that agenda. It simply doesn't pass the smell test. Save your skepticism for this video, not the debate over global climate change (which should be ended by now).

DVD Review: Warming? Cause???
Summary: 4 Stars

OK, and what caused the global warming cycles in the past? Auto emissions thousands, and millions of years ago? Over and over?

They are weather cycles and man had nothing to do with them. Man wasn't even here for most of them.

Let's keep the science with the scientists and away from politicians.

DVD Review: The Great Global Warming Swindle
Summary: 5 Stars

Everyone should watch this video. The scientist explain why the carbon tax is a scam! Al Gore is scamming the world! We can conserve to save our resources. But, carbon dioxide has nothing to do with global warming! Great movie!

DVD Review: Not strong enough
Summary: 2 Stars

I use this film in conjunction with An Inconvenient Truth to show my students both sides of a debate. Putting the fact that I don't support the claims of this documentary, this is just not as well produced as An Inconvenient Truth, so it is difficult to take it as seriously.

DVD Review: It's about time we talked about the sun!
Summary: 5 Stars

Look, I'm not a scientist but I do have some knowledge of history. Whenever someone engages me in a conversation about global warming I ask the following questions: Was it warmer or cooler when the dinosaurs roamed the earth? (correct answer: warmer) Was it warmer or cooler during the Middle Ages? (correct answer: warmer) What was the prevailing weather condition in the year that Washington crossed the Delaware? (correct answer: we were in the middle of The Little Ice Age). Do I believe in climate change? (yes) Do I think humans are responsible for it?(no). If we are, why is the planet Mars experiencing the same climate change as Earth? Seems to me I had an entire section in 5th grade science (in the 60's) opining about the impact of sun spots and solar wind on the climate of the earth.

My point is: this film is a push back from the scientific community that identifies the "global warming" contingent as a political and indeed pseudo religious movement. The premise is pretty interesting. I am already a convert but the data is pretty compelling - take a risk.
