Answer 1

Please don't. The fewer people see that piece of rubbish the better. Having an informed discussion with people on climate change was hard enough before that garbage came out. Now I spend so much time explaining to people the reason why CO2 occasionally seemed to lag behind temperatures in the past and showing them how the producers selectively picked edited and smooth graphs intended to distort the data and support their position that I haven't got time to actually have any meaningful debate on it.

Here's a short article debunking the whole thing for you, as well as a letter from one of the scientists in the film itself who is demanding that he be removed from the film entirely. Saying that he was mislead as to the nature and content of the film and would not have appeared had he known what it was, calling it a piece of 'outright propaganda'.

Answer 2

i'm an environmental scientist with a grasp's degree in physics. As is the case with just about all scientists, I agree that the scientific info overwhelmingly shows that human beings are the usually used reason in the back of the present worldwide warming. The Swindle is little better than a propaganda action picture. I watched it, in spite of the undeniable fact that the 1st time i ought to in elementary terms abdomen a jiffy. the 1st actual argument made in basic terms 30 seconds into the action picture is extremely stupid. you recognize that one the place it says traditionally CO2 lags in the back of temperature hence CO2 can no longer reason worldwide warming. hi?! CO2 is a freaking greenhouse gas! have you ever heard of the greenhouse result?! of direction CO2 could reason warming! If CO2 did no longer reason warming, Earth could be a frozen ineffective block of airborne dirt and mud!! i became into actually yelling at my video show whilst the action picture made this thoroughly absurd argument precise off the bat. the the remainder of the arguments have been no better. They used previous archives which has considering been superceeded, they took interviews out of context, they suggested archives which has considering been corrected to prepare the different result (Christy's ecosystem cooling info), etc. etc. I gave the action picture a raffle - I watched it. It took me some tries to get by way of it, and it became into thoroughly poor, so i'm hoping you're satisfied.

I have not found one that lets you download it. Maybe you could buy it from the BBC? Then put it on your book shelf along with "An Inconvenient Truth". The two would make perfect bookends for the political spectrum.

Answer 4

The Great Global Warming Swindle would be a Channel 4 documentary.

You should make yourself aware of the history of its producer prior to watching.

The BBC has rejected the the producer Mark Durkin's work previously for the 1998 documentary on breast implants which was later shown on Channel 4. The BBC whose in-house researcher concluded that Durkin had ignored a large body of evidence contradicting his claims in the program.

He is understood to have once been closely involved with the Revolutionary Communist Party and its later offshoots Living Marxism (or LM magazine) and Spiked, a magazine and associated political network which promotes libertarian views, and is highly critical of environmentalism.

In 1997, Channel 4 broadcast Durkin's documentary series Against Nature. The Independent Television Commission concluded that Durkin had misled his interviewees about the nature and purpose of the documentary, and that he had misrepresented and distorted their views by editing the interview footage in a misleading way. For these reasons, Channel 4 later issued a public apology on prime time TV.

Durkin's documentary which argues in favor of genetic modification was broadcast on Channel 4 on March 20th 2000, also met with complaints. A joint letter signed by a number of scientists from the Third World was issued in protest of Durkin's claims in this documentary. Dr. Mae-Wan Ho, a scientist featured on the program, later said of her participation in the program: "I feel completely betrayed and misled. They did not tell me it was going to be an attack on my position."

The Great Global Warming Swindle was a 2007 documentary film which premiered on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom on March 8, 2007. The film has drawn wide-spread complaints from the scientific community, citing numerous errors and misleading claims. Carl Wunsch, one of the scientists featured in the programme, has said that he was "completely misrepresented" in the film and had been "totally misled" when he agreed to be interviewed. He called the film "grossly distorted" and "as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two." Wunsch was reported to have threatened legal action and to have lodged a complaint with Ofcom, the UK broadcast regulator.

Wunsch has said that he has received a legal letter from the production company, Wag TV, threatening to sue him for defamation unless he agrees to make a public statement that he was neither misrepresented nor misled.

Dr Armand Leroi from Imperial College London wrote to Durkin on the 9th March 2007 to complain about the distorted science that the programme contained. Durkin's response to Dr Leroi's email was "You're a big daft c*ck". The science journalist and author Simon Singh who was copied in on the email pleaded with Durkin to engage in a meaningful discussion, to which Durkin responded, "...Go and f*ck yourself".

The show attracted 2.5 million viewers and an audience share of 11.5%. Though there have been 246 complaints to Ofcom as of April 25, 2007

Answer 5

You need a good usenet connection, and a usenet downloader like SuperNZB which can use .nzb files.

Use www.binsearch.info to make an nzb file from a search for "global warming" (there are good results for this one) and save the .nzb file. Open it with the newsreader and your file(s) will download.

Answer 6

It's a Channel 4 "documentary" and the arguments used in it have already been comprehensively disproven, in fact Channel 4 apologised for it before even airing it.
I think this is it here though if you want to watch it:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4499562022478442170
you can probably find it on youtube as well, you can download programs to download stuff from youtube, just give it a google.

Answer 7

Junkscience.com has links to it.

I also have a copy in mpg format, and have burnt multiple copies. The truth needs to be spread.

Answer 8

seen it, complete waste of time
