Want to get baffled and maybe a little angry? Check out: The Great Global Warming Swindle, a "documentary" made by Channel 4 in the UK. Also make sure you check out the following article which explains how much of the thesis of the argument is incorrect:

this is amazing. seems like it's high time all the data gets out on the table.

Still doesn't explain how CO2, a minor greenhouse gas in comparison with water vapor and a couple of others, can be blamed for what is largely a natural cycle, more likely driven by cycles in the level of single-user activity with periodicity in the thousands of years. Humans play a role, but in the big picture, it is a fairly minor one. Our energies would be far better spent preparing and adapting that wailing and blaming.

Make that " solar activity"

The above comments are junk. Human caused global warming is real.

On water vapor, prior to human produced CO2 the atmosphere was at a relative equilibrium. The issue is that the added CO2 creates a disequilibrium - so even a small percentage relative to preexisting greenhouse gasses is a huge problem.

If you sit at a restaurant and there is a glass of water 4/5ths full then a waiter comes and adds water until it overflows - do you blame the overflow on the fact that there was already water there??? Of course not.

The film above features a supposed 'climatologist' Tim Ball of the Department of Climatology at the University of Winnipeg. The University of Winnipeg has NO DEPT OF CLIMATOLOGY. See here: http://directory.uwinnipeg.ca/

Of course it ignores that the National Science Academies of all the industrialized nations unanimously agree that global warming is human caused via CO2 and requires urgent action. The data is so overwhelming that CEO’s of 10 major US corporations (including Dupont, Alcoa, Caterpillar, Lehman Brothers, BP America) called for immediate action: http://www.environmentaldefense.org/article.cfm?contentID=5828

For detailed rebuttals of all the obfuscations go here: http://illconsidered.blogspot.com/2006/02/how-to-talk-to-global-warming-sceptic.html

And on the film specifically and the propagandist who created it: http://www.medialens.org/alerts/07/0313pure_propaganda_the.php

even if all human co2 level information was incorrect (which it is not) about the on coming of global climate chaos, it's doesn't mean we shouldnt be making the effort to reduce our massive amounts of waste and raise awareness anyway. it's socially responsible no matter what.
