Channel 4, Thursday 8 March, 9pm
Are you green? How many flights have you taken in the last year? Feeling guilty about all those unnecessary car journeys? Well, maybe there's no need to feel bad.
According to a group of scientists brought together by documentary-maker Martin Durkin, if the planet is heating up, it isn't your fault and there's nothing you can do about it.
We've almost begun to take it for granted that climate change is a man-made phenomenon.
But just as the environmental lobby think they've got our attention, a group of naysayers have emerged to slay the whole premise of global warming.
40 Million people world wide is quite a few (WHO figure)Very informative programme. It helps if you can create mass hysteria when competing for governement grants and corporate sponsorship, ie. AIDS which didnt affect epidemic proportions of the population which it initially projected, however got millions in expenditure to pay for the very expensive treatments.
I thought it was a good programme and supported its arguments well but I don’t think you could call Al Gore or Margaret Thatcher “Marxist or anti-capitalist”. Both of them are supporters of the man-made global warming camp.Thought it was interesting that the people with Marxist and anti-capitalist agendas who were previously involved in crusades of the time, are now involved in the global warming campaign.
but I don’t think you could call Al Gore or Margaret Thatcher “Marxist or anti-capitalist”.
What I would really like to see is a debate between the best of both camps, where they could each put forward their arguments backed by facts, and let the others rebutt the arguments if possible.
