I agree. I watched last week.

I have only watched 33 minutes so far. It is a bit like a Party Political Broadcast; it tries to look objective, but does not remotely attempt to give the other Parties' points of view.

There's clearly a market for people who only want to hear one side of this argument. I think it's human nature to want to disbelieve things the more we're told them.

Totalling agree. And the market seems to be related to Green $. It's a shame, as you say, we don't hear from other experts and thinkers in the field. I'm pleased this movie gives a perspective often not allowed (literally suppressed) to be broadcast.

I have a background in Science, and a particular interest in the underlying philosophy of Science (PhD research interest). Thomas Kuhn, among others provided an interesting perspective on how Science actually progresses (psychological and sociological pressures) and subsequent shifts in paradigms, as opposed to the often described gradual evolution towards 'the truth'. So, it's always important to be mindful of shaping factors: explicit or less so.

The BBC tend to get stick from both extremes of any argument. Partly this is because they go out of their way to be fair, balanced and ensure their claims are supported by evidence.

The BBC get stick from me because they go out of their way to NOT to be balanced.

I've linked to Brian's favourite paper, so it must be true.

A lot of old, very old or very very old men (not a woman in sight ) spouting their biased nonsense

Is that a metaphor for the FRA forum nowadays
