We call our House of Commons proceedings Punch and Judy: but the climate-change deniers on Fox News are Punch on steroids. It's a chilling and depressing picture. Read full review

What’s fresh here is the tone – rude, blunt and bordering on shrill. This is a less in-your-face Michael Moore-style take on this subject. Read full review

What Craig Scott Rosebraugh's film lacks in originality, it makes up for in comprehensiveness. Read full review

It’s too bad that Rosebraugh himself can be so off-putting. The data presented is horrifying enough without sarcastic narration, or his Roger & Me–style pursuit of an interview with ExxonMobil CEO Rex Tillerson. Read full review

There’s a lot to be angry about. And though Rosebraugh shines a light on plenty of jaw-dropping corruption, it plays out like a shrill rallying cry without catharsis for the already initiated. Read full review

On the downside, Rosebraugh’s own film is too self-righteous and his attempts to play a humour-challenged, lightweight version of Michael Moore in front of the camera is a misfire. The climate-change deniers are comforting, though obviously wrong. Greedy Lying Bastards is grating, even if it’s right. Read full review

The film’s zippy graphics are a treat, but its zippy arguments are slipshod. Read full review

The lies of "Lying Greedy Bastards" exposed: even the world's leading authority, IPPC says you are of full of s**t! In March of 2012, the IPCC released a special report (google search terms "IPCC SREX 2012") on extreme weather events and its relationship to added atmospheric CO2. TheThe lies of "Lying Greedy Bastards" exposed: even the world's leading authority, IPPC says you are of full of s**t! In March of 2012, the IPCC released a special report (google search terms "IPCC SREX 2012") on extreme weather events and its relationship to added atmospheric CO2. The result: it isn't in the evidence (Google the University of Colorado at Boulder's "Roger Pielke, Jr" for his critical distillation that the IPCC got it right "SREX Pielke" will do).

Furthermore, the Washington Post had to retract the claim that greed motivates the global warming "denialists," because the documented funds for it amount 1% to one-tenth of one percent of the global warming alarmists. Juliet Eilperin (a senior reporter with her husband working for Big Enviro-alarmists in DC a BIG conflict of interest), tried to report "facts" like "Greedy Lying Bastards" does, and the Wash Post was forced into running a correction because both Eilperin was wrong. In fact so wrong that she was soon relieved of her environmental news beat.

Finally, last December, the IPCCs next (the Fifth Assessment) Report was leaked, showing that global temperatures have flatlined for the last fifteen years, all while man-made CO2 emissions increase at record rates. This means that IPPC models are all wrong: the 30 year warming rates are below the LOWEST predicted level, and nearest those that required maximum CO2 emissions abatement.

Thus, the lies of "Lying Greedy Bastards" is in tatters before you as wrong, wrong, and wrong and therefore complete bad bulls**t.… Expand
