Can I just point out that the documentary maker Mark Durkin has previously made a programme about global warming being a myth and that he was reprimanded by the ITC for it. Channel 4 had to broadcast a primetime apology. Which makes me somewhat suspect that he might have used some of these tricks in this one too. The Independent Television Commission ruled: "Comparison of the unedited and edited transcripts confirmed that the editing of the interviews with [the environmentalists who contributed] had indeed distorted or misrepresented their known views. It was also found that the production company had misled them… as to the format, subject matter and purpose of these programs."
