User Reviews

Very Compelling

This film prevents a compelling counterpoint to the popular conception of anthropogenic global warming. It highlights some of the theory's failings, and offers an alternative explanation for the recent warming and the historical link between temperature and CO2. It relies heavily on the testimony of a dozen or so scientists, professors, and researchers whose qualifications are surprisingly notable (including, for example, the co-founder of Greenpeace).

From a technical standpoint, the production values are high and the direction excellent. It maintains a good pace throughout, though sometimes reiterates the same point a bit. There were a few areas I wish they'd have explored more thoroughly, but such is the case with all documentaries.

Overall, its format is very compelling; it compiles the facts in a straightforward manner, building to a conclusion which is remarkable in its discrepancy with the man-made global warming theory. It touches on many different aspects of the issue, including some which many will find surprising, such as the impact on developing nations. I was expecting a shoddy piece of work, full of half-truths and outrageous assumptions, but this film is very scientific and professional. I'd recommend it to anyone with an interest in the subject.
