Il est bien sur de l'interet des lobby petroliers de deculpabiliser l'opinion publique de consommer le precieux or noir.

Cette vidéo "The Great Global Warming Swindle" à été produite par Martin Durkin, et diffusé en mars 2007 sur Channel 4 une chaîne anglaise notoirement connue pour ses programmes de haute valeur intellectuelle tel que "Big Brother".

Cette vidéo est une escroquerie intellectuelle avec pour seule vocation de faire de l'audimat.

Apres sa diffusion, Armand Leroi un scientifique ayant apporté son concours à ce documentaire accusa Durkin d'avoir volontairement falcifié les donnés qu'il lui avait transmit.
Ces donnés concernaient la corrélation entre l'activité solaire et les températures terrestre globales.
Mr Leroi était furieux, il envoya plusieurs courriers à Durkin, dans l'un d'eux il ecrit par exemple "je suis tres decu, on ne peut pas faire confiance aux producteurs de Televisions pour transmettre la vérité".

"The Times reported that Durkin had seriously fallen out with a scientist who had been considering working with him. Armand Leroi was concerned that Durkin had used data about a correlation between solar activity and global temperatures which had subsequently been found to be flawed. Leroi sent Durkin an e-mail saying, "To put this bluntly: the data that you showed in your programme were wrong -- and may have been deliberately faked . . . what abundant experience has already taught me -- that, left to their own devices, TV producers simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth. I am very disappointed. I am copying this to Lou Bolch. And to Simon Singh, Ben Goldacre, and Olivia Judson -- fellow connoisseurs of this sort of thing."
He copied the e-mail to scientific author Simon Singh. Durkin responded to Leroi saying "You’re a big daft cock". Singh sent an email to Durkin urging him to engage in serious debate. Durkin responded stating, "Since 1940 we have had four decades of cooling, three of warming, and the last decade when temperature has been doing nothing", and concluded with, "Go and fuck yourself".[48] Durkin later apologised for his language, saying that he had sent the e-mails when tired and had just finished making the programme, and that he was "eager to have all the science properly debated with scientists qualified in the right areas"."

qu'un autre scientifique, Carl Wunsch, ayant participé à cette oeuvre de creation considère avoir été dupé par le producteur Martin Durkin qui a transformé ses propos dans un but de propagande.

"Climate scientist duped to deny global warming - A leading US climate scientist is considering legal action after he says he was duped into appearing in a Channel 4 documentary that claimed man-made global warming is a myth. Carl Wunsch, professor of physical oceanography at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said the film, The Great Global Warming Swindle, was 'grossly distorted' and 'as close to pure propaganda as anything since World War Two'."

on apprend que le British Antarctic Survey proteste contre ce documentaire qui utilise un graphe avec un axe de temps erroné pour tromper le public:

"The British Antarctic Survey released a statement about the The Great Global Warming Swindle. It is highly critical of the programme, singling out the use of a graph with the incorrect time axis, and also the statements made about solar activity: "A comparison of the distorted and undistorted contemporary data reveal that the plot of solar activity bears no resemblance to the temperature curve, especially in the last 20 years." Comparing scientific methods with Channel 4's editorial standards, the statement says: "Any scientist found to have falsified data in the manner of the Channel 4 programme would be guilty of serious professional misconduct."

Eigil Friis-Christensen un des chercheurs du British Antarctic Survey parle de falsification des données originales qu'il a fourni au producteur:

"We have concerns regarding the use of a graph featured in the documentary titled ‘Temp & Solar Activity 400 Years’. Firstly, we have reason to believe that parts of the graph were made up of fabricated data that were presented as genuine. The inclusion of the artificial data is both misleading and pointless."

Avec un tel pedigree nous avons toute les chances de retrouver bientôt ce documentaire sur ...... TF1 ;o)
