Nonsense

Warning: Spoilers
This film claims that Carbon Dioxide is not a greenhouse gas because it does not cause warming. Though the filmmakers do refer to CO as a greenhouse gas. They claim that millions of barrels of fossil fuel being pumped into the atmosphere on a daily basis has no effect on the environment. It also does not even mention the effects of having less vegetation to process the carbon dioxide.

The film also paints all environmentalists as anti-technology “Neo-Marxists” that are effortlessly trying to prevent the development of the modern world. Environmentalists are the Neo-Gestapo of industry. It’s laughable.

This film claims that climate change is brought about by Supernova’s (stars exploding) that cause “cosmic rays” which in turn causes clouds which cools the planet. That solar spots reflect these “cosmic rays” therefore causing less cloud formation which causes the planet to heat up. That glacial melting is simply “seasonal.” I’m embarrassed to even write this conclusion. It’s comical.

On the other hand the quality of the documentary was par. They obviously had a good budget and put much effort into supporting their arguments. If one is to gain something out of this film and think positively about spending time watching it, it is that one gets to hone their critical thinking skills by debunking the film as it plays out.
