Global warming skeptic Steve Hayward has made a film called "An Inconvenient Truth... Or A Convenient Fiction". It's Hayward's own rebuttal to Al Gore's film "An Inconvenient Truth", the first power-point presentation to ever win an Oscar (h/t Tom Cerber at The Politic).

Unlike Al Gore's film, A Convenient Truth is made up mostly of historical fact. Because of all the boring facts and lack of fear-mongering, it would not be a very marketable film, and therefore you won't be seeing it in theaters. Lucky for you, it can be viewed on the web at www.aconvenientfiction.com.

Steve Hayward is not a global warming denier. He beings a speech by saying "Much of what Vice President Gore says about climate change is correct. The planet is warming. Human beings are playing a substantial role in that warming." Where Hayward takes exception is in the ridiculous claims of a scientific "consensus", and that "the debate is closed".

A Convenient Fiction would sit somewhere between An Inconvenient Truth, and The Great Global Warming Swindle as far as balance goes. It's too bad that most of the people who've seen An Inconvenient Truth won't take the time to watch the other two films and hear the other side of the story.

The world of "documentaries" is fast becoming completely irrelevant. The recent revelation about Michael Moore's Roger and Me, Al Gore and his eco-babble in an Inconvenient Truth, are two examples of documentaries gone wrong.

Hollywood is about to hit a whole new low (h/t The Vanguard).

Page Six has learned that Sheen, the hooker-loving Hollywood hunk, has agreed to narrate a new version of the loopy YouTube documentary "Loose Change," which claims that a corrupt faction within the federal government orchestrated the mass murder at the World Trade Center.

The latest edition of the movie on YouTube can be viewed by clicking here. The sad thing is that Hollywood will perpetrate lies and present it as a "documentary" just to sell movies.

Would it be so damn hard for somebody to actually make a balanced documentary? I mean, it's not like there aren't dissenting views for the opinions presented in these films.

The documentary "The Great Global Warming Swindle" has been getting a lot of play on The Drudge Report lately. You can now watch the full documentary on Google Video.

The Swindle documents how the science behind Global Warming is in fact crumbling, and skepticism in the field is growing, which is not indicative of the "consensus" we're always told about. Along the same lines they attack the legitimacy of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, quoting skeptical, but contributing scientists.

I strongly suggest everybody check it out if they've got an hour to spare.
Update: A great companion piece to add some balance to this film is An Inconvenient Truth... Or A Convenient Fiction.
