Climate catastrophe cancelled

I have no scientific expertise, but when a veritable army of highly qualified scientists calls into question the science which underpins conventional wisdom on global warming (and on which the Kyoto Protocol is based) wouldn't it be a good idea to take notice of what they say?

Watch this jaw-dropping documentary - trust me, it is worthwhile to see this (all via lgf). I would go as far as to say that this is (or rather, should be) front-page news that everyone needs to hear about. Funnily enough, no one in the MSM seems to have noticed it. I wonder why?
