I find the BBC link very interesting; things do not seem as clear from
that report as I would have imagined from the BBC Radio 4 new last night.
>>>
Ofcom's logic is that "the link between human activity and global warming... became settled before March 2007".
>>>
But the whole point of the documentary was to assert that the argument is still around. Yes, the consensus is heavily in favour of man-accelerated global warning, but there are still scientists who disagree. Offcom seem guilty of misleading the public too!! Or if the quote is corect, they are guilty of a technical inexactitude

Well yes you do need to say more
Wikipedia says that the Global Climate Coalition has been defunct since 2002 and I've found other references to the same. If this is so, then I don't see how your allegations are correct. Unless they are not defunct but now a secret group.
I am actually inclined to the man-accelerated global warming, but I do think the debate should be accurate and not be full of insinuation and spin (and possibly even libel
) (And Gore was also guilty of this !!!)
