1. the factual evidence, i.e. the climate records, that supposedly suggest that a global<br />

warming has been observed and is exceptional;<br />

2. the assumption that carbon dioxide is the cause of these changes;<br />

3. the predictions of climate models that claim that a doubling of CO 2 leads to a<br />

predictable global warming;<br />

4. the underlined physics.<br />

In the movie these four pillars were dismantled bringing the building down. <strong>The</strong> speaker<br />

states:<br />

“In a recent paper on the effects of carbon dioxide, Professor Ellsaesser of<br />

the Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, a major US research establishment in<br />

California, concluded that a doubling of carbon dioxide would have little or<br />

no effect on the temperature at the surface and, if anything, might cause the<br />

surface to cool.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> reader is referred to Ellsaesser’s original work [118].<br />

• Two books by the popular German meteorologist and sociologist Wolfgang Thüne, entitled<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Greenhouse</strong> Swindle (In German, 1998) [119] and Aquittal for CO 2 (In German,<br />

2002) [120] tried to demonstrate that the CO 2 greenhouse effect hypothesis is pure nonsense.<br />

• A book written by Heinz Hug entitled Those who play the trumpet of fear (In German,<br />

2002) elucidated the history and the background of the current greenhouse business [121]<br />

• Another movie was shown recently on Channel 4 (UK) entitled “<strong>The</strong> great global warming<br />

swindle” supporting the thesis that the supposed CO 2 induced anthropogenic global<br />

warming has no scientific basis [122].<br />

• In his paper “CO 2 : <strong>The</strong> Greatest Scientific Scandal of Our Time” the eminent atmospheric<br />

scientist Jaworowski made a well-founded statement [12].<br />

On the other hand, Sir David King, the science advisor of the British government, stated that<br />

“global warming is a greater threat to humanity than terrorism” (Singer) 12 , other individuals<br />

put anthropogenic global warming deniers in the same category as holocaust deniers, and so<br />

on. In an uncountable number of contributions to newspapers and TV shows in Germany the<br />

popular climatologist Latif 13 continues to warn the public about the consequences of rising<br />

12 cf. Singer’s summary at the Stockholm 2006 conference [1].<br />

13 Some time ago one of the authors (R.D.T.), in his role as a physics lab research assistant, instructed his<br />

student Mojib Latif in fundamental university physics.
