The Fallacy of Global Warming

Have two centuries of industrialization caused an increase in global warming? In this comprehensive program, experts analyze satellite images, archival weather records, tree rings, core samples from the ocean floor, and air frozen into ancient ice to investigate climatic changes over the past 250,000 years. After factoring in the effects of orbital variations, sunspots, volcanoes, and sulfur dioxide aerosols, scientists theorize that recent global warming is not caused solely by fossil fuels and that in a wider context it is not as abrupt—nor as potentially cataclysmic—as previously believed. Produced by the Open University. (30 minutes)
