re: 'Global Warming Is Lies' Claims Documentary

Readers might be interested to know that the people behind this documentary are ex members of the UK Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), who used to publish the magazine LM, once "Living Marxism", the official newsletter of the RCP. They continue to push the agenda they promoted within the RCP through the "Institute of Ideas" and the online magazine "Spiked". If anyone wants to check them out, try a Google search for "Martin Durkin Against Nature" (the title of another anti-environment documentary from the 1980s by this programme's director), or "LM group revolutionary communist party".

I'll declare my interest - I'm a climate scientist, and in my view (based on a decade of work in this area) this programme has completely misrepresented the science, and the positions of the scientists they accuse of being behind this "conspiracy". But hey, dig around on the web and see what the Revolutionary Communists behind this stuff are up to, and make you own mind up about their legitimacy. It always pays to know who's behind the information or disinformation you're being fed.

I've just watched it and it annoyed annoyed me sufficiently to drive me to Google to see what sort of coverage it was getting.
