Synopsis
The climate has been changing since time began. The explanation that it's now changing faster because of man-made CO2 emissions is, at best, just one of several credible hypotheses. At worst, it's a cleverly marketed fiction. The film shows how the theory has taken root over the last fifteen years and explains why everyone now buys the idea without question.
