Voices of Reason?
Ever since “The Global Warming Swindle” was aired in the U.K. several months ago, I’ve been wanting to see it. Well here it is, linked to by a very interesting blogger named “Al Fin” who has been posting since 2005. Tonight I watched it in its entirety, and am more convinced than ever how dangerous and how wrong it is to accept anything in the name of fighting global warming.
This film, the second of three linked to by Fin in his post “Global Warming Doomsday Called Off,” (all three of the films he links to are worth watching) was more thorough and measured than I’d expected, and confirmed many points of skepticism I already had. In the over 90 minute presentation, some of the most eminent scientists and thinkers in the world came forward over and over with reasons why the global warming crowd has got it wrong, and the consequences we face if rational debate and cost/benefit analysis isn’t restored.
Rather than try to summarize these points again, which has already been done here, and elsewhere, I strongly recommend anyone who hasn’t yet seen this film to watch it now, before the link goes dark. The fact that this film isn’t shown to every public school student in the USA, right alongside “Inconvenient Truth,” is a crime.
Below are listed the names of the people interviewed during the course of “Global Warming Swindle. Over the lengthy program they deliver not sound-bites, but reasoned refutation of virtually every key point relating to the theory of CO2 induced global warming. Read this list, and if you respect even one of these people, think twice, and take the time to watch this film:
