Michael Moore did exactly the same thing for his release of Fahrenheit 911 - claimed Disney or Miramax were suppressing its release.<BR/><BR/>You have to wonder what on earth is going through the heads of these scientists called for it to be suppressed. Why is the evidence not enough all of a sudden? I honestly don't know what to think of the science anymore, but I think any attempt to censor alternative views is deeply suspicious. If these scientists now think the ends justify any means including censorship, is it because they are sitting on a house of cards?Matt Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256353079960538374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-44780550791708702632007-04-26T16:43:00.000+12:002007-04-26T16:43:00.000+12:00Does anyone have a working link for that channel 4...Does anyone have a working link for that channel 4 doco?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765006817084523046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-42237018243646291122007-04-26T15:10:00.000+12:002007-04-26T15:10:00.000+12:00Hemi, it's not news that Wunsch is still a warmist...Hemi, it's not news that Wunsch is still a warmist, but his views were hardly misrepresented in the film and (as the invitation letter to him shows) nor was he duped into appearing. It wasn't creative editing the mealy-mouthed scientist objected to, but the film's firm, take-no-prisoners style. <BR/><BR/>I <A HREF="http://pc.blogspot.com/2007/03/wunsch-still-warmist-wunsch.html" REL="nofollow">blogged Wunsch's protest a few weeks back</A>, as does Harvard physicist Lubos Motl <A HREF="http://motls.blogspot.com/search?q=wunsch" REL="nofollow">here</A> (where he links to an interview with Martin Durkin discussing the film, and Wunsch's problems with his apearance), and <A HREF="http://motls.blogspot.com/2007/03/great-global-warming-swindle.html" REL="nofollow">here</A> (where he reviews the film, including its flaws) -- he concludes (and I agree) that despite some minor bugs and some incorrect statements that "the quality of tricks and dramatization is however very good - at least in the same league as Al Gore's movie." <BR/><BR/>Far from falling to piece if the errors are corrected, it would make it an even stronger film.Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-17113850187688333662007-04-26T12:06:00.000+12:002007-04-26T12:06:00.000+12:00"The reason they want to suppress The Great Global...<B>"The reason they want to suppress The Great Global Warming Swindle is because the science has stung them."</B><BR/><BR/>Sounds more like the doco-makers have been partaking in some creative editing...<BR/><BR/><EM>Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at MIT, and another signatory to the letter, was featured in the film and subsequently said his views had been misrepresented.</EM><BR/><BR/><EM>Scientists complained that the programme makers distorted evidence, and made elementary mistakes such as claiming that volcanoes produce more carbon dioxide than human activities, when in fact they produce less than 2% of that caused by the burning of fossil fuels.</EM><BR/><BR/><EM>We have no objection to the DVD being distributed if all the errors are corrected, but if they correct all the errors then the whole premise of the program will fall to pieces.</EM>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
