If you enjoyed 'The Great Global Warming Swindle'...?

Question

are you willing to examine the other side of the argument?

Below is a link to a film on Google Video which shows the Swindle, and after each argument made in the film, a scientist from Edinburgh explains what was correct and what was incorrect about that argument.

Global warming skeptics are often complaining that those of us who accept anthropogenic global warming are unwilling to examine their evidence. Are you willing to examine ours?

In fact, global warming acknowledgers have not only watched but also critiqued the Swindle:

Are global warming skeptics willing to do the same for this film?

Answer 1

I appreciate what you're trying to do. But the so-called "skeptics" are not interested in rational discussion--witness their continual recourse to "ad hominum," "straw man," arguements, non sequiters, circular reasoning, etc.

They are willfully ignorant, not genuine skeptics. Attempting to engage them in serious discussion plays into their hands--by doing so you provide what they cannot--a veneer of ligitamacy to their nonsense. That's exactly what they want. Besides, you're wasting your time.

Answer 2

They even got it more wrong than the swindler... Actually, it is true that Carbon dioxide are raising AFTER temperature rise, as ocean temperature increase it release its captured CO2 reserves into the atmosphere, so the link between, the two... Its sad that they even fail to explained this correlation.
As for the Ozone layer, its not even related to the decomposition of CFC, its related with the geomagnetic field of the Earth and its activity levels, which increase negative ions in the high atmosphere, thus creating the hole at both poles, and no where else! CFC are so huge molecules, that they cannot raise long enough at the altitude required to decomposed them... This also has been debunked a while ago, but still peoples don`t know about this!!
This is what happen, when mass media keep pushing for old news instead of newest discoveries... We are entering a new dark age in informations...

Answer 3

Suspended, global warming and depletion of ozone layer are totally different phenomena not directly related each other.

Global warming is produced by green house gases (GHG)`mostly CO2, CH4 (methane) and others.
Depletion of ozone layer were produced by CFC gases known as freon. As freon was forbidden worlwide and not produced anywhere, the ozone layer is recovering and hopefully it will be fully recovered in around 40 years.

Answer 4

the funniest thing i find about global warming, is that I have never heard anyone say how the carbon dioxide reacts with ozone to deplete the ozone layer. You see, first off, carbon dioxide is very stable and so is the ozone.

BTW, carbon dioxide and ozone are both by-products of combustion within cars

Answer 5

I studied both sides of the issue BEFORE making my decision. I will continue to research and study NEW evidence as it comes along.

Answer 6

This is the great thing about science. No matter what the topic is, you can always find well educated people who agree strongly, and those that disagree strongly. If there is a consensus, it is not science.
