“The Great Global Warming Swindle”
This documentary film aired on the U.K.'s Channel 4 station in March 2007 and has been the source of heated controversy. While there is no indication that the documentary itself was funded by the energy industry, it features a long list of global warming skeptics who have been funded for years by ExxonMobil and others in the oil, coal, and gas industries. Featured interviewees include: Dr. S. Fred Singer, Dr. Patrick Michaels, and Richard Lindzen. RealClimate.org, a website on climate science created by meteorologists, geochemists, and climate scientists from prominent universities and NASA, rebuts each argument in the film one by one.
