Bill McCollum's Anti-Global Warming Movie

Outgoing Attorney General Bill McCollum sent a memo out to Florida Cabinet members Charlie Crist, Alex Sink and Charles Bronson disputing the science of global warming. McCollum urged his fellow a pseudo-documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle. The director According to the The Buzz, Martin Durkin is a Marxist. Below is the trailer.



Some of the experts Durkin interviews are a hoot. Piers Corbyn is a meteorologist and owner of Weather Action. WA makes forecasts a year in advance. WA went on the stock market. Corbyn allowed people to place bets on the weather. Bad move.


Weather Action - one of the unlikelier stock market debutantes of recent years - is to take shelter in private ownership once more after a two-year buffeting of the sort that would normally merit a warning to shipping.

The forecasting service is selling its PLC status as a "shell" for £273,540 minus the £1 that founder Piers Corbyn will pay to get back his unorthodox weather bureau.

In a final twist to the Weather Action story, the shares - which had slumped from the 79p issue price to 24p - rocketed 370% to close at 90p once it was announced yesterday that Weather Action would no longer own, er, Weather Action.

Asked if he was hurt, Mr Corbyn replied: "Yes and no."


Professor Ian Clark has been involved with the think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The think tank is funded by Texaco, Inc, Amoco Foundation, Inc. and a host of other environmentally unfriendly corporations.

Professor Bill Ball has worked for the Natural Resource Stewardship Project and The Friends of Science. Last time I blogged about the former, the NRSP didn't have their web site up. That is still the case. A University of Calgary found auditor report found the Friends of Science do not conduct scientific research.

Barry Cooper solicited research money from the University of Calgary. The auditor report FoS Science was using funding to run political and anti-global warming ads. FoS told potential donors that they could get a tax right off by donating through the University of Calgary. The school sent a cease and desist letter to FoS. The audit report could not conclude if the research done by FoS with U of C money was legitimate.

These are the so-called experts from the documentary McCollum wants other elected officials to watch. Below are the memos McCollum sent out.
