Great Global Warming Swindle

Synopsis

A feature-length documentary made for Channel 4 which counters the argument put forward in Al Gore’s AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. It maintains that man-made CO2 emissions have very little discernable effect on climate and that global warming represents a natural recovery from a ‘little ice age’. The programme was the subject of an Ofcom enquiry and Channel 4 was censured for breaching "due impartiality" and treating contributors unfairly.

DVD extras include additional interview material with some of the world’s leading climate scientists.
