I'd thought there was no need to waste any more time on the Swindle shown on ABC a few weeks ago. But from a conversation the other day I realise there are still people out there who believe it and others who think there's a reasonable level of doubt about human-induced climate change.

 

So here are three references to send your friends who think the Swindle may have a grain of truth:

 

1. A CSIRO scientist refutes each of the main scientific claims in the film (2 pages)

 

2. If they want more detail, here's a critique of the film's errors by four scientists from the National Climate Centre at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology (10 pages): http://www.amos.org.au/BAMOS_GGWS_SUBMISSION_final.htm

3. So the film is bunk... but why was it made? Just who is film director Martin Durkin?

 

UK journalist George Monbiot has written extensively on climate change (eg his 2006 book Heat) and has also debunked the Swindle. In this 1997 article Monbiot exposed the revolutionary communist ideology (no, really!) behind Swindle director Martin Durkin's previous anti-environmentalist TV series "Against Nature": http://www.monbiot.com/archives/1997/12/18/the-revolution-has-been-televised/
