The IPCC should be abolished

Some questions on the issue of ‘rising CO2′ in our atmosphere – how many millions of acres of trees and other natural plant life have been destroyed by commercial operations since CO2 levels were noticed to be ‘rising’?

Wouldn’t removing a large amount of plant life that absorbs CO2 out of our atmosphere and converts it to oxygen lead to raised levels in our atmosphere even if there were no increase in CO2 production?

And lastly, I’ve seen the ice core sample evidence that shows CO2

6/10
- Decent variety of footage from arctic to desert and from urban to rural.
- The presented counter argument to the Climate Change Theory appears to be more of a syntactic issue than anything else. For example, early in the show they concede that temperatures are rising, but that it isn’t man-made (precedent exists for a naturally warmer Earth). Later they mention how sea levels do not appear to be rising because of increased evaporation caused by warmer temperatures. The final impression their argument left me with is, “Yes the planet is getting warmer, but the Climate Change Theory doesn’t explain why well enough to be trusted.”
- Shows some examples of where a single or few scientists disagree with the a larger group. In general, the disagreement is due to a counter example to the Climate Change Theory. The documentary would have benefitted from showing how these examples were received by the larger group, although such a debate might be beyond the scope of the show.
- Does a reasonable job of discrediting Climate Change theories by demonstrating counter examples to predictions (sea level of Maldives islands not rising, upper atmosphere temperatures not rising, etc). This does support the idea that Doomsday, as predicted by the Climate Change Theory, should be re-evaluated.
- Never addresses hurricane or storm frequency increase in recent decades, despite obvious lead-in statements facts such as the increase in ocean evaporation leading to increased precipitation. The implication is made that this precipitation will conveniently be added to the Polar regions, building up the ice caps. The documentary would have benefitted from showing how this polar transport occurs.
- Some of the researchers presented contradict each other in ways. For example, one claims that ice cores demonstrate a cold period only in the last couple hundred years, from which we are now warming; while another claims that satellite data of the troposphere shows no warming recently. Another example is the claim that CO2 isn’t nearly as bad a greenhouse gas as water gas or vapour, while another researcher claims that sea levels won’t rise because more water gas or vapour will go into the atmosphere through evaporation.

why put this up and then make a comment about “flat-earthers”?  this documentary was excellent, with many of the most important scientists who continue to expose the manmade global warming theory as false.
