    There was another documentary that debunked this one .

    If I remember correctly the data they used in this film was wrong and maybe fabricated.

    I will try to find it.

    Finished watching it. Very interesting and seems well supported but so do the ones that say the exact opposite. Does anyone think we will ever know the truth? IMO we give ourselves to much credit by thinking we radically influence the planets temperature. But at the same we need to do a better job with waste/energy management to keep this one earth we have in the best shape it can be in. It would be a shame to lose some of its wonders due to laziness and greed. I imagine the truth lies somewhere in the middle of all of this. Yes, we contribute to the earth warming some, and yes the earths temp goes in cycles and right now we are in the middle of a rising one

    I remember watching a program on tv not long about the stromatolites that were finally pieced into the story. Someone put together their appearance with the fossil record and had an "ahA!" moment.

    Right now we are in whats called an interglacial period. Interglacial periods last from 10k - 20k years. That is we are inbetween ice ages. Temperatures should be going down as we are 15k years into one from what I understand, but we aren't going down.............

    I think, at the very least, there is enough conflicting data that neither side should be able to just throw up its hands and scoff the stupidity of adherents of the opposing view.

    At minute 45 of Part 2 of the documentary I posted ,it points out specifically that the data from the Global Warming Swindle documentary is erroneous and misleading.

    The theory expounded in the global warming swindle documentary is accompanied by a chart that graphically demonstrates the earth warming up according to solar activity .

    It only shows the data up to 1980 even though that documentary was made much later than that .

    That theory breaks down because AFTER 1980 because global warming has increased exponentially while solar activity has decreased.
