Glad to hear it, and, to quote an intimate of yours: "Cite?"

The real global warming swindle

A Channel 4 documentary claimed that climate change was a conspiratorial
lie. But an analysis of the evidence it used shows the film was riddled with
distortions and errors

A Channel 4 documentary that claimed global warming is a swindle was itself
flawed with major errors which seriously undermine the programme's
credibility, according to an investigation by The Independent.

The Great Global Warming Swindle, was based on graphs that were distorted,
mislabelled or just plain wrong. The graphs were nevertheless used to attack
the credibility and honesty of climate scientists.

A graph central to the programme's thesis, purporting to show variations in
global temperatures over the past century, claimed to show that global
warming was not linked with industrial emissions of carbon dioxide. Yet the
graph was not what it seemed.

Other graphs used out-of-date information or data that was shown some years
ago to be wrong. Yet the programme makers claimed the graphs demonstrated
that orthodox climate science was a conspiratorial "lie" foisted on the
public.

Channel 4 yesterday distanced itself from the programme, referring this
newspaper's inquiries to a public relations consultant working on behalf of
Wag TV, the production company behind the documentary.....
