Against my better instincts I decided to watch a BBC documentary on a subject I want to know a lot more about. The effect of our CO2 emmissions on the environment.
Why did I bother? I ended up watching to the end just to see if there would be a glimmer of fair debate in the whole programme. There wasn't.
While slating Lord Christopher Monckton for a lack of scientific knowledge, filmmaker Rupert Murray blithely creates a documentary that manages to avoid any science at all.
There is a lot of emotional blackmail with film of various weather related drama around the World.
More emotional blackmail showing that some people who are old and some who are very right wing in America greet the sceptics warmly.
A LOT of content following the lord around doing stuff. OK he is quite a nice eccentric. If this was a program about his eccentricity, I would know not to watch it because that would bore me. The first 10 minutes was all this and it was terrible. Even if it had been about an eccentric, this was badly done.
How can anyone get PAID for producing something this bad? How does it get through the program planners out on to our sets? How much did he get in expenses, considering visits to Ausralia, America Scotland and probably other places.
BBC, you advertised a program about environmental scepticism. That was fraudulent.
When will the BBC start producing programs that search out the truth instead of programs that propogate the Government's line on issues?
