The Great Global Warming Swindle is a controversial documentary film that argues against the scientific consensus that human activity is the main cause of global warming. The film, made by British television producer Martin Durkin, showcases scientists, economists, politicians, writers, and others who are sceptical of the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming. The programme's publicity materials assert that man-made global warming is \"a lie\" and \"the biggest scam of modern times.\"[1]
The documentary was first shown in the UK on Channel 4, which screened it on March 8, 2007. The channel described the film as \"a polemic that drew together the well-documented views of a number of respected scientists to reach the same conclusions. This is a controversial film but we feel that it is important that all sides of the debate are aired.\"[2]
Several of the programme's scientific arguments have been withdrawn or modified since its original broadcast and others disputed by scientists.[3] [5] Critics have also argued that the programme is one-sided and that the mainstream position on global warming is supported by the scientific academies of the major industrialized nations and other scientific organizations.[3] The film challenges the positions of these scientific organizations by interviewing scientists and others who disagree with explanations that attribute global warming to human activities. Contributors to the film include Richard Lindzen, John Christy and Paul Reiter, who were participants in the IPCC process. |
