Here’s a documentary now available on Retrovision mostly featuring “heretics” (the term used by former climate scare monger Nigel Calder, who has evidently seen the light) about AGW.

The Great Global Warming Swindle (2007) exculpates carbon dioxide (also known as “plant food”) as any kind of cause of global warming (the mega-minds at the Environmental Protection Agency notwithstanding), inculpates the sun as the prime suspect of observed climate change, points the finger at politicos of both the Right and the Left as prime movers of the scare, and traces the development of a distortion of one area of science into a political movement (and even a global industry) driven by politics, money, and the credulous media which has absolutely nothing to do with real science. (And let’s not forget this was before the revelations of ClimateGate.)

The saddest aspect of the Great Swindle, as the film notes, is how enviro-nuts control Third World development, since they’re dedicated to an anti-development, anti-capitalist, romanticized medieval mindset and have wormed their way into positions of power and influence.

Because the enviros push so hard for “green energy” (i.e., solar and wind power) and against proven Western methods of generating electricity, thousands—and perhaps millions—of people in places like Africa—which are rich in resources—have already died, are now dying, and will continue to die in greater numbers if the greenies have their way.
