More Inconvenient, more Truth?

Are you a reasonable person with a desire to understand difficult topics? Are you willing to suspend disbelief for an hour or so? Did you see "An Inconvenient Truth"? If you gave a couple hours and a few bucks to see that, I would also think you might enjoy seeing this documentary aired on the BBC titled: "The Great Global Warming Swindle". Yes, the title is inflammatory, but if you get about 15 minutes into this, they have some very compelling data I have seen before but herein is put together very nicely to make a good scientific case. The most important point, I believe, is that while CO2 and climate are clearly linked, the data may indicate that CO2 is the effect, not the cause, in the relationship. Again, if you are a reasonable person who is willing at least to entertain more than one point of view, I think it is worth viewing. If you have already made up your mind, either way, then don't bother...go spend your hour in some other productive manner. Again, I'm not suggesting which side of the debate you should believe, I will leave that up to you, and over time we will all get more data.
