In the interest of academic freedom and fairness, this blog is introducing the recently-shown anti-global warming documentary entitled, "The Great Global Warming Swindle." The full video can be viewed at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4499562022478442170.
Readers are advised to read the feature story about it in Wikipedia to get neutral assessment of its contents and arguments. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle.
It is very unfortunate that the scientific community on global warming/climate change has been dichotomized into Epistemic Community A whose members believe that the global warming is man-made, and Epistemic Community B whose members believe otherwise. In Environmental Governance, policy/decision-makers rely on scientists for objective scientific information and advice to issue informed judgment and policies. With a divided scientific community, due to professional rivalry or politics, the world could find itself paralyzed to act on the climate change/global warming issue. Pure or unadulterated science is very relevant in Environmental Governance. Hence, scientists should not make themselves susceptible to political manipulation. Otherwise, we won't have objective and factual sources of environmental science information.
