Abstract

As the U.S. presidential campaign heats up, so do the issues surrounding global warming. This FRONTLINE film explores the politics behind global warming, from the three previous U.S. presidential administrations to the United Nation's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

This documentary also examines the well-financed energy industry campaign that challenged the broad scientific consensus on the human causes of climate change in an effort to stall federal regulation.

Comments

Docutalks was a monthly documentary film series sponsored by the Clemson University Libraries. Films 30-60 minutes long were followed by moderated discussions.
