He pretends to respond to criticism; actually, he's responding to criticisms that haven't been made, or at least not prominently.<BR/><BR/>The criticism made prominently is that he misrepresents the solar activity data. What he shows is a heroic, and invalid, manipulation of solar-cycle length data. Did you notice that the narrator didn't tell you where the plot came from? What really happened was that solar activity peaked in 1980 and has gone down since 1990. Meanwhile, CO2 concentration is higher now than ever before; for more that 400,000 years it was always less than 300 ppm and now it's over 380. That's the reason for all the concern, and the film simply ignores it.<BR/><BR/>I've posted the most reliable data I could find on a web page called <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/gwperplexed/" REL="nofollow">Global Warming: A Guide for the Perplexed</A>. References are given for everything there so you don't have to accept it blindly. Or, you can skip that and just look at called <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/gwperplexed/skeptics.htm" REL="nofollow">Global Warming: A Guide for the Perplexed --Skeptics</A>.
