Great Global Warming Swindle

Just watched the Swindle. I was impressed, personally i put it on the same level as the "Inconvenient Truth" in that they are both political pieces designed to influence your opinion with a small dose of the facts but not nearly enough information to be taken conclusively. Both have flaws, but both taken on their own, if you are disinclined to do a bit of research on your own are probably sufficient to sway masses.

Based purely on those two pieces if i had to invest my bottom dollar, either way, I'd take a recess, get a beer and go out and party. In other words neither is nearly enough, I'd keep my money in my pocket or invest it at the pub, at least at the pub I'd have a greater confidence on what my return on investment would be. The challenge now is to find more information then try to infuriate Carbonistas on the weekend. I like to be the devil's advocate, some say the devil.

Great debate on the piece taking place at Timblair, and i guess (have not been there yet) at the ABC webpage.

Go to both, have a read, make up your own mind, or if you prefer, I can tell you what you should think. It's the work of but a moment, with the added bonus that if you pay me, I'll tell you whatever you want or need to believe.

When Carbonistas Attack - Live from an Adelaide Bunker

You see, this is what I am talking about. How can a documentary cause so much angst, if you know it's a Swindle ignore it, but allow other people the freedom to be swindled. I personally can't wait to see the "Global Warming Swindle", kudos to the ABC for showing it, but idiots like these below get me worried.

"The ABC has fallen into the trap of screening patent nonsense in a bid to prove how unbiased it has become,'' Senator Allison said in a statement. "The consensus of the world's most respected scientists is that climate change threatens our very existence. "This is not the time to be giving oxygen to those in denial and whose answer to crisis is to plunge their heads into the sand.''

I would just like to pass on that after tonight, I shall likely be doing an “Anne Frank” or possibly “Salman Rushdie” because when the Carbonistas start denying “Denialists” Oxygen, I make myself scarce, as scarce as possible. Look out for the book, and consult my web log which will be updated from a secret location, deep in the basement of a local “Denialist” sympathiser I know. The Struggle goes on.
