The Global Warming Swindle

[Qdrop]

Aired on BBC 4 (cause you'd NEVER see this on US TV at this point).

Fantastic documentary that answers back to Inconvenient Truth.
Featuring many of the top climatologists and scientists from around the world...and no, Exxon doesn't pay their electric bill.

If you really consider yourself well-informed and fair...

you have to watch it.

Ha ha, why not? Because the hardline ecoterrorists are using their hypno-ray to take over the Bush administration? Wow!

because the american media has just recently swallowed the green kool-aid and forsaken all even-handed reporting on climate change.
global warming is scary.
fear sells.

and their sponsors think global activism seems socially conscience....so they want programming to appear the same.
follow the $$

Martin Durkin is now going to enlighten me on the con artists trying to cash in on a catastrophe and hoax all perpetuated by hanger ons with some sort of human consumption blame game.

"Well, isn't that ... extra special."

Professor Carl Wunsch who appeared on the programme has since repudiated the film and compared it to propaganda.

However the Commission also concluded that Durkin had misled his interviewees about the nature and purpose of the documentary, and that he had misrepresented and distorted their views by editing the interview footage in a misleading way [7]. For these reasons, Channel 4 later issued a public apology on prime time TV.[8]According to The Independent, Durkin "accepts the charge of misleading contributors, but describes the verdict of distortion as 'complete tosh'."

Uh oops...

the said what he said....it wasn't completely out of context, he just didn't get chance to blab on and on in the film and cover his ass on both side, like many scientists try to do when a camera is on them.

if you think this is heinous...look up the "editing" that Gore enanged in with AIT.

I'd like you to show some real balls by debating the science they present.

drop drinking the kool-aid and answer.


environmentalism has become a fuckin religion.
complete with dogmatic thinking and faith.

Yeah, because I'm sure Bill O'Reilly and co. have seen the light and are eating granola with Al Gore on roadtrips in their electric cars while on their way to windmill powered farms.

Oh and it aired on Channel 4, NOT BBC 4. Completely separate from the Beeb.

Baring in mind it was in the same shockumentary series as "hairy women" and "men with breasts" coupled it was on channel 4 kinda looses wait to the argument. Also the fact many contributors complained it was miss edited.
