I thought it was interesting too. The problem I have is how polemical programs such as these only ever put forward one side of the story, so you're left with all of the evidence in support and none of the evidence in disagreement. For example, the assertion that cloud cover is linked to cosmic rays is far from proven and there is some doubt about how active the sun has been over the past decade when temperatures have continued to climb.The program tells us about the temperature decline from 1940 to 1975 during a period of heavy increase in industrialisation, and how it flies in the face of what you would expect if global warming were linked to man made carbon dioxide, yet it mentions nothing about the theory of global dimming which has been put forward to explain this discrepancy.
Still, I thought the program did a good job of showing just how complicated global climate is and just how many systems it has acting upon it, any one of which could cause warming and cooling. I thought the graph showing CO2 levels rising 800 years AFTER an increase in global temperature, thereby being the result and not the cause, was the biggest slap in the face to the man made global warming argument. I also thought that its revelations about environmental extremists and political groups using man made global warming as a ready-made excuse to do whatever they want, and the way that ties in with the media's tendency for hysteria, was particularly good. When you've got the co-founder of Greenpeace telling you things have got out of hand then you do sit up and take notice.
