The polluting motorist GW deniers who dominate this NG had a field day
over this one but look what happened.

LOL!

"Channel 4 misrepresented some of the world's leading climate
scientists in a controversial documentary that claimed global warming
was a conspiracy and a fraud, the UK's media regulator will rule next
week.

In a long-awaited judgment following a 15-month inquiry, Ofcom is
expected to censure the network over its treatment of some scientists
in the programme, The Great Global Warming Swindle, which sparked
outcry from environmentalists.

Complaints about privacy and fairness from the government's former
chief scientist, Sir David King, and the Nobel peace prize-winning
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be upheld on almost all
counts, the Guardian has learned..."

You omitted the bit that stated that none of the 131 separate points about
the accuracy of the information presented were upheld. Essentially the
ruling is that C4 misquoted some scientists and failed to give some an
adequate opportunity to reply, but that the programme did not mislead the
public with regard to the facts presented.

So Doug, if the concensus that we had Global Warming was correct, can
you tell me why those shouting the loudest about it have changed their
cry to Climate Change now they've been proven wrong and we're actually
in a period of global cooling?

Global Warming has been PROVEN to be a conspiracy and a fraud. Look at
all the extra tax revenue its raised.

Yes. And so are you. I noticed you changed your cry to "Climate
Change" once you realised they were wrong.

The fact C4 are being persecuted over this documentary is more evidence of
said conspiracy.

Wrong again, as usual. They are two different things, as you would
learn if you could be bothered. GW applies to the planet as a whole
and CC happens locally. Do you understand now?
