As NewsBusters reported about this documentary when it was first broadcast in England last month ("Swindle" video available here, emphasis added):
With American media falling all over themselves in unbridled adoration for soon-to-be-Dr. Al Gore while they generate totally unwarranted hysteria over climate change, it seems impossible to imagine a televised documentary debunking the junk science surrounding this issue.
This raises an obvious question: when will American television air this program?
After all, America is supposed to be an open society that welcomes debate. Regardless of the ludicrous position being espoused by the left, the existence of such a documentary is ample proof that there are many scientists across the globe not buying into the highly-advertised contention that a consensus exists on this topic.
With that in mind, if the alarmists are so sure they’re right, they should easily tolerate disparate views to be presented to the masses. Certainly, if their position is so airtight, it can withstand scrutiny.
Of course, if this isn’t the case, maybe the consensus rests on – dare I say it – thin ice.
