Complaint to Ofcom Regarding “The Great Global Warming Swindle”2. Complete Transcript and Rebuttal |
|
|
The references to sea level rise and increases in storm intensity and frequency in these BBC One programmes and in Climate Change: Britain Under Threat (BBC One January 21, 2007) (which also underwent the same peer review process) were carefully worded to reflect the latest scientific peer reviewed research. Again the vagueness of reference to ‘programmes’ allows the programme makers to recruit sympathy for their case while failing to pinpoint the target of their criticism. This failing is of particular significance in a polemic that centres its claims so squarely on the quality of evidence.] (In breach of the 2003 Communications Act Section 265, Ofcom 5.4, 5.5, 5.7, 5.11, 5.12)
[Comment 108: Melting glaciers, ice caps and ice sheets do contribute significantly to rises in sea level, so this statement is factually incorrect and misleading. In fact, the latest evidence (http://tinyurl.com/2o3bde, PDF [IPCC 2007]) indicates that melting ice contributed around 40% of the global sea level rise between 1993 and 2003.] (In breach of Ofcom 5.7)
