Channel Four And Science
EDM number 1108 in 2006-07, proposed by Paul Flynn on 13/03/2007.
That this House scorns the junk science of Channel Four's Great Global Warming Swindle, which presented previously discredited claims as facts; notes that the work of Dr Eigil Friis-Christenson has been repeatedly exposed as mistaken and incompetent and that the oceanographer Carl Wunsh has confirmed that the programme misrepresented his views; calls on Channel Four to apologise for misleading their viewers; and urges the Channel to act responsibly in future by presenting issues of prime importance in a balanced scientific manner which allow listeners to reach an intelligent judgment.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
