comment on this video | report broken

Dr Iain Stewart traces the history of climate change from its very beginning and examines just how the scientific community managed to get it so very wrong back in the Seventies. Along the way he uncovers some of the great unsung heroes of climate change science, and introduces us to a secret organisation of American government scientists, known as Jason, who wrote the first official report on global warming as far back as 1979.

He shows how - by the late 1980s - global warming had already become a serious political issue. It looked as if the world was uniting to take action. But it turned out to be a false dawn. Because in the 1990s global warming would be transformed into one of the biggest scientific controversies of our age.

so this guy for the first two videos is expaining how gobal warming is definitely caused by man, that there simply is no other explanation....then half an hour into the last video he explains how by looking back through layers of ice we can see how the temperature has had these massive leaps in the past (long before we were pumping carbon into the air, although he doesn't point this out) and somehow he seems to see this as evidence that global wamring IS caused by man??? this, like all documentaries i have seen on climate change, is baised. they are all biased one way or another, either saying it is caused by man it isn't. i would like to see an unbiased doc that just presented all the facts without twisting them to prove a point.
