A document with the title: A Review Of 'The Great Global Warming Swindle' By S. Fred Singer, (Atmospheric Physicist) March 19, 2007 is making the rounds at the moment with an inference that it is written by Fred Singer himself.
It appears at http://www.ourcivilisation.com/aginatur/swindle.htm as written by Phillip Atkinson whose site contains an interesting but somewhat bitter and overconfident summary of the world’s knowledge.
The Great Global Warming Swindle is a very interesting movie (See it on Youtube).
Unfortunately, there have been a number of well documented rebuttals of key elements of the program (the best one I know is at http://www.climateofdenial.net/?q=node/7 ).
The program was nevertheless useful in pointing out by example the danger of half truth’s as used in quasi-religious fervour by climate change believers.
At least some climate change believers have since tried to temper their predictions and proposals with more supporting arguments and facts.
I am a climate change believer in the sense that I believe that climate has always been changing but that the variations are accelerating and that this is highly likely to be caused by human activity.
The interesting blind spot demonstrated by most climate change believers is that among all proposal for stopping planetary damage damaging, the most obvious proposal is rejected out of hand – i.e. a reduction in the growth of the number of humans, or even a reduction in absolute numbers.
In my view, this should be THE fundamental quid pro quo in negotiations re. carbon emission reduction by so called “developed” countries.
