Somebody actually raised that point during the Q&A after the showing (both the documentary and the Q&A were streamed), but the question was just glossed over while they asked for 'scientific' questions.
While I think the documentary and the Q&A (and especially the announcement of Breitbart's next endeavor: bigenvironment.com), I'm disappointed that the participants largely ignored the fact that there are those who have the evil intent of exercising oppressive control over people.
Not evil or just wrong? Why does the title try to dictate the conclusion we should draw? Just present the facts and let me decide for myself. My view is that AGW is a self-serving, propaganda-fueled hoax for the purpose of a political power grab on the part of would-be totalitarians. The leading AGW proponents aren't concerned scientists; they're leftist politicians. They are not merely mistaken. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is throwing an AGW fit today: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8313672.stm
I am beginning to believe that it is an innate quality of the human mind to expect a huge mushroom cloud at the top of every steadily inclining graph line.
There are many economic actors involved and they will consider their own interests. Drastically cutting use of fuels that produce carbon dioxide will simply make production take a dive. Greater efficiency will be impossible to achieve when companies are cutting R&D budgets and production because less productive people have can't afford to discard perfectly reliable, less efficient technologies just for the heck of it.
The fuel suppliers will fire sale to emerging markets that don't yet have the efficient, clean infrastructure, and anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions will increase at a greater pace, along with good old fashioned air pollution.
So long as hydrocarbon fuels are cheap and plentiful, proposing some form of marxist or fascist production controls is going to make the problem worse in the long run.
Global Warming now, Ice Age fear in the early 80's. This particular planet has, in the past, been both hotter and cooler than it is now. The triassic era was definately warmer than it is now , but there were no people. So how does AL explain that ine? How about the fact that global temperatures fell by 2 degrees globally during the thirteenth century, if mankind only causes warming what the heck happened?
yeah, i don't buy it, either.

never relegate to ignorance or stupidity harmful actions against you that can be explained by treachery.
