Martin Durkin made a misleading climate denial tv show called The Great Global Warming Swindle in the early 2000s. It was full of disinformation. Martin Durkin's new film: Climate: the movie "The cold truth" is the same. The 2007 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle combined many distinct issues into one 'great swindle' by misinterpreting research findings, editing interviewee comments and manipulating graphs to build a seemingly convincing argument that humans do not actually contribute to climate change. The UK broadcast, watched by some 2.5 million viewers, provoked reactions from numerous climate scientists and policymakers, including prominent figures such as David Miliband, then the UK secretary of state for the environment, and Myles Allen of the University of Oxford. In the six weeks that followed, nearly 250 complaints were filed with the UK Office of Communications. Director Martin Durkin later acknowledged many of the problems and inaccuracies, but by that stage the seeds of public misunderstanding of the role of human activity in climate change had been sown through the inexact and hence misleading program.
