CHANNEL FOUR AND SCIENCE

Early day motion 1108, tabled 13 March 2007 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House scorns the junk science of Channel Four's Great Global Warming Swindle, which presented previously discredited claims as facts; notes that the work of Dr Eigil Friis-Christenson has been repeatedly exposed as mistaken and incompetent and that the oceanographer Carl Wunsh has confirmed that the programme misrepresented his views; calls on Channel Four to apologise for misleading their viewers; and urges the Channel to act responsibly in future by presenting issues of prime importance in a balanced scientific manner which allow listeners to reach an intelligent judgment.

Signatures by party: Labour 10, Liberal Democrat 2.
