Great Global Warming Swindle how to destroy it....with the truth

[ORDagnabbit]

theres a new documentary out called Great Global Warming Swindle.

Heres info on it.

Spread it far and wide.

Before you go to the link I provide that destroys this "mockumentary" you might be interested to know that the people behind this documentary are ex members of the UK Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), who used to publish the magazine LM, once "Living Marxism", the official newsletter of the RCP. They continue to push the agenda they promoted within the RCP through the Institute of Ideas and the online magazine spiked. If anyone wants to check them out, try a Google search of "Martin Durkin Against Nature" (the title of another anti-environment documentary by this programme´s director from the 1980s), or "martin Durkin and communist". Dig around on the web and see what the Revolutionary Communists behind this stuff are up to, and make you own mind up about their legitimacy.

Now on to the debunking this piece of trash...

The Great Global Warming Swindle

The programme purported to debunk the science of Global Warming describing it as ‘lies’ and an invention of hundreds of scientists around the world who have conspired to mislead governments, and the general public. The most prominent person in the programme was Lord Lawson, former Chancellor of the Exchequer who is not a scientist and who shows little knowledge of the science but who is party to the creation of a conspiracy theory that questions the motives and integrity of the world scientific community, especially as represented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

The material presented was a mixture of truth, half truth and falsehood put together with the sole purpose of discrediting the science of global warming as presented by the main world community of climate scientists and by the IPCC.

Here I briefly point out the main lines of evidence for human-induced climate change and then address some of the main arguments presented in the programme.

1. First, it is important to note that the main lines of evidence for human-induced climate change not addressed in the programme were:

growth of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere mainly due to fossil fuel burning to a level greater than for at least 600,000 years;
observations of global warming at the earth’s surface (in magnitude and pattern) consistent with the increase in greenhouse gases, the basic science of which has been known and understood for over 200 years.

2. Climate is always changing – TRUE. However, the programme also argued that changes in global average temperature over the last 50 years and as projected for the 21st century are within the range of natural climate variability as observed over the last few millennia – NOT TRUE.

Many of the prominent climate changes over past centuries have been regional in scale. Global Warming is concerned with global scale changes. The IPCC 4th Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers has a particular section summarising the conclusions of detailed studies using a wide range of paleoclimate data. It concludes that ‘Paleoclimate information supports the interpretation that the warmth of the last half century is unusual in at least the previous 1300 years.’

3. That carbon dioxide content and temperature correlate so closely during the last ice age is not evidence of carbon dioxide driving the temperature but rather the other way round - TRUE. The programme went on to state that this correlation has been presented as the main evidence for global warming by the IPCC – NOT TRUE. For instance, I often show that diagram in my lectures on climate change but always make the point that it gives no proof of global warming due to increased carbon dioxide.

1. And just to give John Houghton's qualifications

from his biography:

Professional Career:

* University of Oxford, Atmospheric Physics Department, Lecturer, 1958-1963, Reader, 1963-1973, Professor: 1973-1983
* UK Meteorological Office, Director General and Chief Executive: 1983-1991
* John Ray Initiative, U.K., Chairman: 1997-present.

Few people in the world have more experience in the area than he does.

2. The documentary was on UK tv, the program got even worse it said .....

environmentalists were bad people as they want to stop industrial growth in Africa. The truth on climate change is very real with visual evidence. I think it only convinced those that made the program really.
