Everything you've ever been told about Global Warming is probably untrue. This film blows the whistle on the biggest swindle in modern history. ‘Man Made Global Warming', we are told, is the biggest ever threat to mankind. There is no room for scientific doubt, we are told. The basic proposition is shocking. Despite everything you've heard to the contrary, the theory that man made emissions of CO2 have a discernible effect on climate, lacks robust scientific evidence. In fact there is overwhelming evidence, and has been for some time, showing that it's solar activity that determines temperature, not us. This film turns the world upside down, and uses an extraordinary cast of the world's top scientists to do it. Global Warming is indeed the biggest threat facing the world today, but not in the way you think - Director:
- Martin Durkin

- Tim Ball, Nir Shaviv, Ian Clark
