Man-Induced Global Warming: The Biggest Hoax Ever?


Last May I wrote that I had serious doubts that anthropogenic factors are the cause of global warming. I no longer have doubts--after seeing this documentary, "The Great Global Warming Swindle", from the UK, I am now convinced that man-made actions are not the cause of global warming.

Here are a few quotes from the film:

"...carbon dioxide is not the cause of that warming. In fact we can say that the warming produced the increase in carbon dioxide."

"Humans produce a small fraction, in the single digits percentage wise, of the CO2 that is produced in the atmosphere."

"Volcanoes produce more CO2 each year than all the factories, cars, planes, and other sources of man-made carbon dioxide put together. More still comes from animals and bacteria which produce about a hundred and fifty giga-tons of CO2 each year compared to a mere six and a half giga-tons from humans. And even larger source is dying vegetation from falling leaves for example, in the autumn. But the biggest source of CO2 by far is the oceans."

"...the recent warming of the Earth happened in the wrong place and at the wrong time. Most of the warming took place in the early part of the 20th century and occurred mostly at the Earth's surface, the very opposite of what should have happened according to the theory of man-made global warming."

Thanks for the link. I agree that there is global warming, I just think most of it is not anthropogenic.
