The Greenhouse Conspiracy

The Greenhouse Conspiracy is a documentary film broadcast by Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on 12 August 1990, as part of the Equinox series, which criticised the theory of global warming and asserted that scientists critical of global warming theory were denied funding. It is one of the earliest instances of the suggestion of a conspiracy to promote false claims supporting global warming. Although the title of the program implied the existence of a conspiracy, when interviewed on the program Patrick Michaels played down the idea, saying, "It may not quite add up to a conspiracy, but certainly a coalition of interests has promoted the greenhouse theory: scientists have needed funds, the media a story, and governments a worthy cause".
The film includes contributions from the following individuals:

Critical of global warming theory

• Dave Aubrey
• Robert Balling
• Sherwood Idso
• Peter Jonas - Professor, Centre for Atmospheric Science, University of Manchester

Unstoppable Solar Cycles : The Real Story of Greenland

Is global warming natural and unstoppable?

The Earth’s climate is always warming or cooling. Like the weather, it is a dynamic system.

The impact of these changes on our lives is significant and important. But also significant and important would be the cost of measures aimed at reducing human greenhouse gas emissions. It is important, therefore, to get the science right before raising taxes or adopting expensive government mandates.

In this brief video, two leading climate scientists – Dr. David Legates and Dr. Willie Soon – explain why the current warming trend is probably natural – the result of solar cycles – and therefore is unstoppable. They point to evidence in Greenland – which was much warmer at the height of the last natural warming cycle that it is today – and elsewhere. Many other scientists support their views.

This video is short, fast-moving, educational, and yet scientifically accurate. Share it with your family and friends, teachers, and civic or business leaders you might know. Let them know that global warming is natural…and unstoppable.

CBC - Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off

In this eye-opening documentary viewers will discover how the most respected researchers from all over the world explode the doom and gloom of global warming.

Humans stand accused of having set off a global climate catastrophe by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The prophecy of doom is clear and media pass on the message uncritically.

Now serious criticism has arisen from a number of heavyweight independent scientists. They argue that most of the climatic change we have seen is due to natural variations.

They also state that if CO2 is to play a role at all -it will be minuscule and not catastrophic!

States of Fear: Science or Politics?

Featuring: Michael Crichton

At one time, both the pseudoscientific geocentric notion of the universe (that the Earth lies at the center of the solar system) and eugenics (the racial theory to “purify” the human race) were widely accepted by leaders in science, politics, journalism, and business.
Such theories were pushed by powerful interest groups that possessed highly politicized agendas driving government policies and public opinion, until ultimately both theories were disproved. Is environmental debate today, including global warming, bio-technology, and other issues, based on science or politics? Are popular accounts of such issues rooted in science or phantom risks? Are government policies focusing on the trivial while ignoring the real, and in the process wasting limited resources, crippling human innovation to address true dangers, and inviting tyranny?
In discussing not just environmental issues but the increasing politicization of science itself, best-selling author Michael Crichton examines the intersection of media, politics, and science, inspiring viewers to challenge old assumptions and to search beneath the surface of issues as they seek to discover the truth.

Global Warming is Not a Crisis - IQ2 US Debate

Intelligence Squared US Debate

Climate change is big news these days, from melting mountain glaciers to warming seas. But is the buildup of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere leading to a crisis?

That was the question at the core of a recent Oxford-style debate called Intelligence Squared U.S. The series is based on the Intelligence Squared program that began in London in 2002. Three experts argue in favor of a motion; three others argue against it.

The Great Global Warming Swindle

The Global Warming Swindle is the definitive rebuttal to Al Gore's 'An Inconvenient Truth'. The film examines the mass of observational data (from temperature balloons, weather satellites, ocean temperature data, ice core records and much else besides) which directly contradict the popular theory of man-made global warming.
It features testimony from many senior scientists describing both the fatal weaknesses in the theory of man made global warming, and their failed attempts to bring these to public attention. The warming of the past 300 years, it is argued, represents a natural recovery from a period which is known to climatologists as the ‘Little Ice Age'. This warming has been mild, beneficial and cannot possibly have been caused by humans. Yes, humans have an effect on climate, but it's an infinitesimally small pin-prick, compared with the vast natural forces which have always, and are still constantly pushing global temperatures this way and that.

Apocalypse? No!

Why global warming is not a global crisis
Christopher Monckton of Brenchley at the Cambridge Union

They said the sea would rise 20 feet and drown coastal nations. They said tens of millions would flee from "global warming". Like the doomsday forecasters of the 1960's and 70's they predicted storms, droughts, floods, plaques, wars, disasters, and death on a global scale. They said three-fifths of all living species were doomed. They foretold Apocalypse Now.

Are Al Gore and the United Nations propaganda machine (IPCC) right about global warming being a planetary emergency? No, "they" are wrong! Now, at the Cambridge Union Society, the cold water of inconvenient fact meets all the hot air of global warming alarmists. Viscount Monckton of Brenchley explains why "they" are wrong in this devastating lecture delivered at Cambridge University. Watch and listen as Lord Monckton expose and eviscerate climate myth after climate myth. This production gives the whole scientific truth about the international "global warming" scare that almost fooled a generation.

Global Warming or Global Governance?

Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth allegedly provides incontrovertible evidence that this is the case. President Obama are committed to passing economically devastating legislation that will do little to nothing to stop global warming. Contrary to what is heard in the media, however, there is overwhelming evidence that the warming we are experiencing is natural, with maybe a small amount contributed by man’s activities. Nor is there any scientific consensus. 31,000 scientists have signed a petition stating there is "no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide is causing...catastrophic" warming. The debate is still raging within the scientific community. In this DVD, Sovereignty International has put together interviews of respected climate scientists and biologists from numerous sources who explain, step by step, why Al Gore and the global warming alarmists are incorrect. In some cases, blatantly so.

The DVD also provides evidence that the global warming agenda is being funded with tens of billions of dollars as a mechanism to create global governance. Hear from congressmen, experts and even well-known news broadcasters how global governance puts global institutions, especially the United Nations (UN), that are not accountable to the American people in control of every aspect of our economy. The skyrocketing gas and food prices today are a direct result of this agenda. (photo & text source: http://www.globalwarmingglobalgovernance.com/)
