Attorney General Bill McCollum isn't buying Gov. Charlie Crist's belief that global warming is a threat to Florida and the world. Shortly before Christmas, McCollum sent a memo to Crist and the other Cabinet members, advising them that "the science is not all in" on the subject and urging them to view the enclosed DVD, a British television documentary called The Great Global Warming Swindle. (It costs $19.99, and this is not exactly "It's a Wonderful Life.") Check out the web site here.

The makers of the program include Martin Durkin, who's no stranger to controversy across the pond. The Guardian newspaper in London reported in 1997 that Durkin considered himself a Marxist. At the time, he helped produce an anti-environmental broadcast on Britain's Channel 4 called Against Nature. Crist, by the way, says he'll keep seeking alternative energy sources to combat global warming in 2008, with or without McCollum's support. McCollum was campaigning Thursday with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
