I know, isn't it funny? The fact that right wingers are even bringing him up to use for their argument & completely dismissing actual scientists says a lot about their intellect, doesn't it?

Probably the most thoroughly debunked and discredited pack of propagandist rubbish of all the propagandist rubbish the Neocons crave and savor. This film became a laughingstock years ago in Britain, long before it was released in the USA and became a laughingstock here. I've posted countless times on here with things like the scientists that are cited in the film saying their work is being lied about and they never said anything so incredibly stupid. No I'm not going to dig up the links and post them again just because some monkey wants to see me do it. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

Watch "The Great Global Warming Swindle".

Go ahead, and then let's see what you have to say about what the "actual scientists" have to say.

(oh, and if someone has to resort to name-calling [e.g. 'homoerotic'] to argue their position, then their position must not have much merit...)

Um, who's calling names here? You consider "right-winger" to be name-calling? Ok. Oh & yes, you can drudge up all the reports you like against global CLIMATE CHANGE, the fact of the matter is that the MAJORITY of scientists support it.

"Years ago"? It originally aired on BBC in March, 2007... For it to have become "a laughingstock years ago in Britain", the Brits would have had about three weeks to reach that conclusion. That one statement of yours tells me that you're willing to completely ignore the facts and do whatever lying it will take to shout down your opponent in a discussion. Should I just put you on ignore now, or are you interested in any form of genuine debate?

Anyway, I've read the Wikipedia page on the film, which gleefully outlines all the criticisms against the film, and frankly, I would have expected a LOT more than what's been levied against it. It's going against the most politically correct issue of our lifetime, and they really found very little in this 73 minute film to complain about.

Have fun in your bubble, my friend. Try not to be too surprised when someone comes by with a pin, though.

Here's an idea, why don't you pull up your proof that shows the majority of scientists do NOT agree w/global climate change?

My, you have a short memory.

Check back in the thread a post or two. And by the way, just because I'm quoting you in a post, don't assume that you're the only person I'm directing a comment at. If that were the case, I'd respond via DM, not in a public post.

Have a nice day!

Sure...answer a question with a question. Nice try.

Name one scientist and you'll get a cookie. I promise.
