Very convincing. I watched it with awe, be beautiful filming, well presented and outstandingly produced, I am a scientist by trade, specialising in statistical analysis. My boss, at the time, was (and still is) a great believer in what he calls Ground Truthing.’ This means getting hold of information / data, and analysing the hell out of it, with increasingly complex analyses. So, being his well trained minion, I did. I had a look at the various places where my parents were born and lived, and there appears to be no sign of any dramatic recent warming. Most had slight cooling, only one place (Rutherglen, in northern Victoria in Australia) showed any sign of warming. The rest, in Ireland and Australia’s Riverina, were cooling, albeit only slightly. I was particularly happy about the Riverina cooling because the summers are too hot, IMHO. I had a further look at more ancient weather history: where was the Maunder Minimum, when the Thames in London regularly froze over in winter? And the warming in Europe during Roman times, when grapes were grown in southern England? Al Gore’s Hockey Stick graph doesn’t seem to fit the data, or historical accounts. The world has been totally taken in by Al Gore.
