Following on from my previous post, here's this little gem from the Register.

From what I understand, "The Great Global Warming Swindle" was taken to the UK broadcasting regulator for...denying The Warming.
That's right, they didn't offend any protected victim groups, they didn't show debauchery or violence, they had the unmitigated temerity to produce a show that denied the current climate dogma. So they got reported to the Broadcast cop.
Now the documentary may have some issues; any Australians remembering when this was broadcast in 2007 on the ABC, will remember Tony Jones going for the jugular of Martin Durkin (the doco's director and narrator) over a graph that...get this...ended 5 years before the show was made, thus in Tony's eyes invalidated the whole show. It was also followed by a panel discussion, I guess so that the ABC board could make sure they were not responsible for created "wrong thoughts" in the Australian populace about climate change Global Warming.
Now lets completely overlook the fact that the UK High Court found "An Inconvenient Truth" to be so riddled with errors and one sided, tantamount to political propaganda that it ordered state schools to show alternative views if they had to screen the Gore Schlockumentary.
Why is The Warming SO important to those promoting it? Why is it so important to silence those that are skeptic? Is their belief system so brittle it can't take a couple of dissenting views?
These days, if your faith is challenged, I guess the first recourse is to go crying to the Government to stop the meanies saying uncomfortable things. A sorry State of affairs indeed...
