A couple of Geek Counterpoint listeners (thanks, Travis and Bill!) pointed me to a show recently aired on BBC channel 4 called "The Great Global Warming Swindle." It purports to be a documentary, and
is uniformly critical of the science behind climate change and the global warming concensus. It's generated a lot of heat both in British papers and online, and has been accused of playing fast and

for an episode. So this week's episode is my overview of the show, a discussion of how it's put together, and a little background on people appearing in (or quoted by) the show. See the blog post for
this episode for a minute-by-minute commentary on the show.
