1. Showing Complaints & Interventions Report for ‘Against Nature’ – Ofcom –
   http://www.ofcom.org.uk/static/archive/itc/itc_publications/complaints_reports/programme_complaints/show_complaint.asp-prog_complaint_id=40.html – Accedido el 17.05.2009
   “Comparison of the unedited and edited interview transcripts confirmed that the editing of the interviews with these four contributors had indeed distorted or misrepresented their known views. It was also found that the production company had misled them, when it originally sought their involvement, as to the format, subject matter and purpose of the programmes. No mention had been made of the critical position the programmes intended to adopt, for example in correspondence … Wider questions of fairness and inaccuracy were the major concerns of the remaining 147 complainants.»

   “To help [Mrtin Durkin] make the programme, Durkin hired Najma Kazi, a highly respected TV researcher and producer who was previously a research biochemist. After two weeks she walked out. «It’s not a joke to walk away from four or five months’ work,» she told me, «but my research was being ignored. The published research had been construed to give an impression that’s not the case. I don’t know how that programme got passed. The only consolation for me was that I’m really glad I didn’t put my name to it.»
3. Climate scientist ‘duped to deny global warming’ – Ben Goldacre and David Adam – The Observer, Sunday 11 March 2007 – http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2007/mar/11/broadcasting.science
   “A leading US climate scientist is considering legal action after he says he was duped into appearing in a Channel 4 documentary that claimed man-made global warming is a myth. Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the film, The Great Global Warming Swindle, was ‘grossly distorted’ and ‘as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two’.

   “We find that over 92 per cent of these books, most published in the US since 1992, are linked to conservative think tanks (CTTs). Further, we analyse CTTs involved with environmental issues and find that 90 per cent of them espouse environmental scepticism.”
5. Dave Rado – Exposé of the misquoting and distortion of David King’s “Antarctica” comment – Microsoft Most Valuable Professional blog 17/03/2007 – http://www.daverado.mvps.org/Articles/KingMisquote.htm
   «The Independent should have known better. Their twisting of what Sir David actually said, and their failure to mention the full context, was highly irresponsible. But even more irresponsible was for Dr. Singer – who wants the world to believe he is a credible scientist – to show such an extraordinary contempt for the facts as to claim that Sir David had said that “humanity may survive, thanks to some breeding couples who moved to the Antarctic”. Dr. Singer’s statement has the odour of mendacity; and it besmirches the good name of science far more than Sir David’s does.”
6. Why ‘climate swindle’ film is dangerous, despite ruling – Michael Le Page – New Scientist 22/07/2008 – http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn14379-why-climate-swindle-film-is-dangerous-despite-ruling.html
   “What about the general issue of factual accuracy? According to Ofcom’s broadcasting code: «Factual programmes or items or portrayals of factual matters must not materially mislead the public» … What seems extraordinary, though, is that Ofcom has decided Durkin’s programme was not in breach of the code when it comes to factual accuracy. So apparently: It’s OK to fabricate graphics; It’s OK to state that volcanoes emit more carbon dioxide than humans when in fact humans emit far more; It’s OK to present scientists as experts in fields they in fact know little about; It’s OK to present disputed claims as if they were well-established and accepted scientific facts … The list could go on and on, but you get the picture.»
7. Watchdog’s verdict on Channel 4 climate film angers scientists – Owen Gibson and David Adam  – The Guardian, Tuesday 22 July 2008
   “Following a 15-month investigation, Ofcom yesterday found that The Great Global Warming Swindle broke its guidelines on impartiality in the concluding part of the 90-minute polemic, which claimed man-made global warming was a conspiracy and a fraud. But despite «certain reservations» on the part of the regulator, Channel 4 was «on balance» cleared of «materially misleading the audience so as to cause harm or offence»
8. The Great Global Warming Swindle: carta abierta a Martin Durkin firmada por 37 climatólogos británicos – 24/04/2007 – http://www.climateofdenial.net/
   “Climate change is an important issue and the public have a right to expect that the information they receive is accurate. The DVD version of ‘The Great Global Warming Swindle’ contains major factual inaccuracies. You were told of these inaccuracies before copies of the DVD were available for sale, so your decision to distribute them anyway constitutes an attempt to deliberately mislead the public about climate change I appeal to you to now act in the public interest by withdrawing the DVD from sale and recalling all copies of it that have been distributed in the past two months.”
