5.0 out of 5 stars
Reopening a healthy and honest debate on global warming., July 7, 2009
This review is from: The Great Global Warming Swindle (DVD) (DVD)
It would be intellectually dishonest not to view this documentary if you have also seen the Al Gore movie. This film reopens a healthy and much needed debate over global warming. Make sure you see both sides of this issue and I think this documentary with a scientific basis, contrasted with the factual errors, glaring omissions and over-the-top hype surrounding Gore's movie may change your view on this issue. It seems a bit disconcerting and far from reassuring when one side doesn't allow any sort of open debate or fact based challenges to their arguments. A must see for those who think they understand this issue.

An open minded person will be willing to watch this, May 25, 2009
This review is from: The Great Global Warming Swindle (DVD) (DVD)
If you have seen "An Inconvenient Truth", (and assuming you are not a scientist), then you absolutely must see "The Great Global Warming Swindle" in order to gain some perspective and balance. This documentary was produced by the BBC in response to the worldwide hysteria over global warming concerns. Because the average person cannot even solve a quadratic algebraic expression, it mystifies me as to how the same people are "convinced" that humans are destroying the planet. Water and air pollution I can understand, and I actively support programs to limit this kind of environmental damage. But the astounding theory that humans are heating up the planet through CO2 production has always seemed rather farfetched. But even assuming you have accepted this unconditionally after seeing Gore's film, I invite those of you with open minds to see this very well produced film which will take you through the history of the global warming movement and also demonstrate why this theory is simply wrong.

more science in here than pro-global warming dvds, May 5, 2009
This review is from: The Great Global Warming Swindle (DVD) (DVD)
After watching GGWS, I see the debate is not over. There is more science in this presentation than in many of the other pro-global warming dvds, such as "Global Warming, the signs and the science" (which by the way was very painful to watch because Alanis Morissette is so bad.)
In this dvd, I was able to listen to the scientists, and see their research, and understand the research. Much of the data covers centuries of data. So many of the pro-global warming dvds and books are just glitz, and scare tactics with very little science, and shows very little research over long periods of time.
I highly recommend this dvd to anyone with a truly open mind.
