Ofcom Global Warming Swindle Website

onJul 21, 2008 @ 10:14 PDT

A new website has been launched containing all the nitty gritty details of the complaint to Ofcom, the UK‘s communications regulatory board, over Channel 4’s documentary “The Great Global Warming Swindle.”

The website OfcomSwindleComplaint.net was set up by Dave Rado, one of the three concerned citizens who launched the original complaint to Ofcom over a year ago. The website “… comprehensively examines almost every line of script and every graphic in the [Great Global Warming Swindle] film to demonstrate the factual errors and apparently wilful deceptions that litter it.
