Title: The great global warming swindle
Post by: mightytiges on July 13, 2007, 02:02:05 PM

Did anyone else watch this last night on the ABC?

There was a lot of controversy over this documentary so curiosity got the better of me. I've seen bits of Al Gore's "a inconvenient truth" which is pro-GW to the max and this doco is the opposite view to the extreme. I went in with a open mind but after 10-15  minutes had to force myself to watch much of the rest as it was basically a whole bunch of political conspiracy theories with some pseudo science thrown in.

I only caught the panel discussion part.

Maybe its because I missed the doco, but I found the discussion totally inaccessible. Couldn't follow who was on what side. Just seemed like a bunch of academics with their backs to the wall having a scrap.

There were a few cuckoos in the audience. One came up with "Environmentalism is Hitler, Nazi death science and it will kill us all"
