John O'Sullivan: Time for a Skeptic Documentary Made on Our Terms

Friends,

Last night I watched with anger and frustration yet another shabby one hour television mockumentary put out on BBC television to ridicule climate skeptics - this time Lord Monckton was in the cross-hairs. Amazingly, 'Meet the Sceptics’ was even more biased than last week’s propaganda film fronted by Nobel Prize winner and President of the Royal Society, Sir Paul Nurse on 'Horizon.'

I've asked Martin Durkin to work with us to make an updated version of 'The Great Global Warming Swindle’ and he has confirmed his willingness to help, especially if Tim Ball is part of it. Can I please ask that you register your support to help Martin, Tim, me and others work towards this goal so that later in the year we can put the broader sceptic case more fairly in a 60-minute film under our own editorial control? Once we can confirm there is strong support for this we can begin to look at funding requirements.

Thanks,

John

Please pass on this request to other sites

Ben Pile: Mythologising Monckton

There is only one climate sceptic in the world. His name is Christopher Monckton. This is the only conclusion you could draw from Rupert Murray’s film, Meet the Climate Sceptics, broadcast on BBC4 tonight.

The film portrays Monckton single-handedly attacking the entire global scientific establishment, sabotaging any possibility of climate legislation in the USA, and thereby demolishing any possible global deal on emissions-reduction through the UNFCCC process. Along the way he destroys Kevin Rudd’s administration and the Australian ETS… In Murray’s fantasy, Christopher Monckton is to climate scepticism what James Bond is to the UK.

The film belongs to a strand on BBC TV, called Storyville. But Rupert Murray doesn’t just tell a story, he constructs a mythology. Says Murray, introducing his film:

The show must go on: Climate change sceptic loses court battle with BBC for right of reply

The BBC has fought off a High Court challenge to block the broadcast of a documentary about climate change sceptics.
Lord Monckton had applied to Mr Justice Tugendhat for an injunction stopping the programme being shown until it included his right of reply.

He said that he felt he had been 'unreasonably treated and misled' and complained of breach of contract.

He told the judge in London that he wanted the programme, Meet The Climate Sceptics, to include his 500 words or three minutes which, he said, was proportionate in the context of a 60-minute film almost exclusively about him.

'What I'm not trying to do is extinguish the BBC's right to freedom of speech.

'I was for many years myself a journalist and it is not appropriate to say a programme should not be broadcast. I am merely asking for a right to reply to which I say I am entitled.'

He said it was the least remedy that would meet the case as the damage to his reputation would otherwise be "grave".

James Delingpole: Meet The Sceptics: another BBC stitch-up

Lots of people have been asking me about tonight’s BBC Four documentary Meet The Sceptics. Is it going to be fair and balanced? Or another hatchet job?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. (*laughs darkly*)

Let me tell you the story so far:

Nine months ago, when I was at the Heartland conference in Chicago, I was approached by a louche, affable, dark-haired, public school charmer called Rupert Murray. With his friend Callum he was making a documentary about climate sceptics for the BBC and wondered if I’d like to take part.

“The BBC? Not bloody likely. You’ve come to stitch us up, haven’t you?” I said.

“Not at all,” said Murray. “Look, there’s something you need to realise. I’m an independent filmmaker, I have no big budget for this, so I’m dependent on my work being original and interesting. The very last thing the BBC wants to commission is another hatchet job on sceptics. How boring and predictable would that be?”

Very true, I thought. It really is about time the BBC examined the issue from the other side. They are a public service broadcaster, after all, not a green investment fund. (Ho ho).

Filmmaker Rupert Murray takes us on a journey into the heart of climate scepticism to examine the key arguments against man-made global warming and to try to understand the people who are making them.

Do they have the evidence that we are heating up the atmosphere or are they taking a grave risk with our future by dabbling in highly complicated science they don't fully understand? Where does the truth lie and how are we, the people, supposed to decide?

The film features Britain's pre-eminent sceptic Lord Christopher Monckton as he tours the world broadcasting his message to the public and politicians alike. Can he convince them and Murray that there is nothing to worry about?
