The Great Global Warming Swindle - Assertions Made in The Film

Assertions Made in The Film

The film takes a strongly denialist view of current scientific thinking on climate change. It argues that the consensus on climate change is the product of "a multibillion-dollar worldwide industry: created by fanatically anti-industrial environmentalists; supported by scientists peddling scare stories to chase funding; and propped up by complicit politicians and the media".

Using a series of interviews and graphics, the film sets out to challenge the scientific consensus by focusing on what it says are inconsistencies in the evidence, and the role said to have been played by ideology and politics.

Famous quotes containing the words assertions and/or film:

    Let us be cautious in making assertions and critical in examining them, but tolerant in permitting linguistic forms.
    Rudolf Carnap (1891–1970)

    Lay not that flattering unction to your soul,
    That not your trespass but my madness speaks;
    It will but skin and film the ulcerous place,
    Whilst rank corruption, mining all within,
    Infects unseen.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
