The great Channel 4 swindle

Two months ago Channel 4 broadcast a documentary called ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ which argued that climate change is a myth put about by money-grabbing scientists, and that the sun is to blame for any current warming trend.

I’m sure the likes of Exxon-Mobil and the Bush Administration – not to mention car companies, airlines, road-builders and so on – will be delighted that the British public is now more confused than ever about the reality of global warming science.

Confusion feeds doubt, and doubt allows the status quo – of massive and rising carbon emissions, not to mention corporate profits – to continue unchallenged.
