Well, I'm afraid that that only goes to prove errors in your intuition and critical thinking skills. Your facts are incorrect and your logic uses an appeal to (lack of) authority fallacy.

The ten minutes I watched was one big appeal to authority. "Here's Doctor X, a highly respected scientist. Look at all the big name universities he's linked to. Listen to him waffle on about how he thinks climate science is corrupt."

Appeal to authority is a dubious fallacy to invoke in the first place. If I need to assume something about (let's say) geology - which I know little about and haven't the time to research myself - I'm going to trust the general consensus of professional geologists. I'm not going to waste my time listening to a marine biologist who sounds like a crank and claims they've discovered that the whole field is bogus.

"If you're interested in finding the truth, you'll at least" check out this (surprise surprise, textual) take-down of the movie, with a comprehensive set of links debunking (in, surprise surprise, text form) the hackneyed climate myths that it brings up: https://skepticalscience.com/climate-the-movie-a-hot-mess-of...

Fair point. Although two wrongs don't make a right.

This is the intelligent, inituitive approach - I agree. However one of the main points that the documentary makes is that there's a hidden corruption involved which means that in the case of climate this is actually the wrong approach to take. The combined state and money printer-backed financial system has an enormous incentive to encourage scientists to find a global climate crisis, and because most scientists rely on government funding, they in turn have enormous incentives to produce statistics that align with this, or else lose their funding. The so-called climate experts that are presented to you are in fact selected by this system because they produce work that aligns with the system's incentive to make people believe there is a climate crisis.

This corruption all stems from the fact that we gave a few questionable people a money printer, and decades later they're getting closer and closer in their ultimate goal of enslaving the world.

Read "The Creature from Jekyll Island" or "Broken Money" by Alden for the full story.

This might be a compelling take except that many climate deniers/skeptics - including several featuring in that movie - are funded by fossil fuel companies and right-wing think tanks.

Define "right-wing".

Ultimately either the evidence is correct or it's not, no matter how it's funded. This documentary demonstrates how much of the current mainstream evidence is in fact incorrect, explains why it's incorrect (both the errors and the incentives involved) and then provides evidence for why the small degree of measured warming over the last decades is both happening perfectly naturally and is not very significant compared to periods in the history of mankind.

You must at least admit that much of the evidence backing the climate "crisis" we have been fed over the last decades was actually just projections from models. Models that have generally been proven to be completely wrong. If you take a look for real evidence of detrimental effects from any change in the climate, it's simply not there.

		In which case I'd appreciate seeing something in text form, since the first ten minutes is uncompelling and does not demonstrate what you say it does.
