The Great Global Warming Swindle Swindle

Now far be it from us to point out Chuckles the Clown's hypocrisy is promoting a programme on Channel 4 (anyone who reads us regularly will know why) but just to add balance and provide actual information (which the documentary got wrong) here are some bloggers who seem on the ball.

To use a newspaper cliche 'read all about it' and don't take one programmes 'findings' as gospel. It seems that in his haste to shill for the Bush administrations destructive approach to the environment ,Charles will latch on to anything he can, even if it's a documentary on Channel 4.

UPDATE: More swindles! It seems that a scientist who appeared on the show isn't happy.

Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the film, The Great Global Warming Swindle, was ‘grossly distorted’ and ‘as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two’.

He says his comments in the film were taken out of context and that he would not have agreed to take part if he had known it would argue that man-made global warming was not a serious threat.

UPDATE: It appear this isn't the first time TGGWS's director, Martin Durkin, has been accused of misrepresenting people he interviewed for a program.
