CBC: Global Warming - Doomsday Called Off

This film was specifically cited - as using misleading data in the paper: <br> <a href="http://www.realclimate.org/damon&laut_2004.pdf"> Pattern of Strange Errors Plagues Solar Activity and Terrestrial Climate Data </a><br> <b>SECTION: Public Impact of Misleading Information</b> <p> Several of the figures discussed here have attracted worldwide attention. <p> One example of the exploitation of the graphs in the public debate is a 2001 TV documentary, “The Climate Conflict,”produced for Danish state television by Lars Mortensen. <p> It featured Henrik Svensmark and Eigil Friis-Christensen as the ingenious mavericks of today’s climatology, who discovered the dominant influence of solar activity upon our climate and now fight a stubborn scientific establishment—represented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—and the ruthless proponents Of the “so-called greenhouse theory.” <p> The film has made a tremendous impact upon public opinion in Denmark and several other countries and is now part of the curriculum in many Danish high schools. It won an impressive series of international awards: Special Prize of H.M. The Prince Rainier III in 2001 at the 41e Festival de Télévision de Monte-Carlo; Best Environmental Film at Téléscience in Montreal 2001; Best Science Film at Telecencia, Portugal; and the Silverserpent at Filmobidos 2001 in Obidos, Portugal. <p> The suggestive basis for the solar claims—as presented personally by Svensmark and Friis-Christensen on the screen— are the misleading graphs from the above mentioned 1991 and 1998 articles. <br> -------------------------------------------------<p> To review some of the basics of misleading information, refer to Vive le Canada article: <br> <a href="http://www.vivelecanada.ca/article.php/20070322124449279"> NEW SCIENTIST: Climate change: who is swindling who? </a><br><p> This posting/thread addressed the inaccuracies of a similar ‘debunking film’: The Great Global Warming Swindle.

"The suggestive basis for the solar claims—as presented personally by Svensmark and Friis-Christensen on the screen— are the misleading graphs from the above mentioned 1991 and 1998 articles."<br />
<br />
OK so there's doubt concerning the solar claims being tossed around. Science is always full of doubt and in need of further refinement, that's just the nature of science.<br />
<br />
Now, what about all the OTHER claims of doubt cited in the documentary that make a very compelling case against the fear mongering from the Global Warming establishment?<br />
<br />
The only leg the global warming camp has to stand on is that almost everyone agrees that polluting our world is a very bad thing and that it should be brought down to levels that are not harmful. The problem is there's only politicized science behind all the fear mongering from the Global Warming camp, and it's being exposed as a fraud because it is a fraud.<br />
<br />
Just like anyone else, I want to see our world be made into a better place, but I know that following con artists who only want our servitude and blind obedience will not solve any of our very real and pressing problems.<br />

“Now, what about all the OTHER claims of doubt”<br />
<br />
B - I only surveyed the first few minutes of the film, then chased down the producer – and then ended up with the above cited paper. I had previously gone through the above paper intensively and was disappointed in the lack of rigorousness in data handling.<br />
