The Great Global Warming Swindle

Are you green? How many flights have you taken in the last year? Feeling guilty about all those unnecessary car journeys? Well, maybe there's no need to feel bad.

A 1h:18m counterattack to An Inconvenient Truth, with equal drama. I find the portion of it containing actual data to be presented with about the same style and level of detail as Al Gore's movie. Two key points, that earth temperature tracks solar intensity and that CO2 level changes lag temperature changes instead of leading them, are easily found to be controversial in a literature search. Depends heavily on attacking the credibility of some scientists and bolstering others.
