Bad reporting

I think we all do appreciate a 2nd perspective on global warming but this film appears to be a scam. The producer, "Martin Durkin" got the BBC in trouble before with one of his other works "Crimes Against Nature". Some info on that scandal can be found here "http://www.gmwatch.org/profile1.asp?PrId=39" where the BBC had to apologize because because the documentary was found to distort what the scientist were actually trying to say, and it mislead the viewers to inaccurate conclusions.

I think its great to make everything "fair and balanced", so to present this feature on the same footing as Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" would not do that. It's the duty of any good reporter to pass on relevant information to the public, to sort the BS from the facts, and not just pass on information unfiltered.

Anyway, thanks for the post, but this Film is definitely 1 hour and 15 minutes of pure spin ;). Sincerely,

-Mike
