Eliz Mizon speaks to journalists from across the spectrum to discover why the UK press continues to peddle climate change-denying misinformation – even during an unprecedented heatwave
I would challenge the term climate denier. Until recently, I have, like the majority received my information on climate change from the MSM and presumed that there was a consensus on the matter. I then watched The Great Global Warming Swindle - Full Documentary HD, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYhCQv5tNsQ and given the people interviewed and their opinions, it has made me question what is actually going on. We have all seen the greed and corruption that has accelerated on the back of Covid by those who are supposed to represent us and I have to wonder if this is yet another vehicle for the propaganda of fear and terror whilst the corporates and their servants take over our lives. I would be very interested to see a BT honest and evidenced assessment of this.
Hi Johnny, I'm the author of this article so I want to respond to clarify and share some thoughts I think are useful. The GGWS shouldn't be taken as a reliable source, and was thoroughly debunked in the years after it was broadcast. I'm generally critical of both the mainstream media, and the term 'mainstream media' due to the way it is used as a gross generalisation (not all mainstream news is equally crap, even between individual sections of one newspaper). After all, Channel 4 is mainstream media too...!
Do these clowns not think about their children & grandchildren! Instead of them greedy selves!
I think for some people, it's the fear that prevents them from considering it - particularly, perhaps, if they have children or grandchildren.

For an independent take on the film, look no further than DeSmog, who have several articles on it. This is quite a good one with a lot of background and context: https://www.desmog.com/2007/03/12/a-global-warming-swindle-play-by-play/
Happy reading, and thanks for reading the article.
Thank you Eliz, very much appreciated.
