Challenging criticism or suppressing heresy?


Some British climate scientists demand film be re-edited before DVD release

Global warming dogma strikes again. This is looking more and more like an attempt to throttle dissent.

A group of British climate scientists is demanding changes to a skeptical documentary about global warming, saying there are grave errors in the program billed as a response to Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

"The Great Global Warming Swindle" aired on British television in March and is coming out soon on DVD. It argues that man-made emissions have a marginal impact on the world's climate and warming can better be explained by changing patterns of solar activity.

An open letter sent Tuesday by 38 scientists, including the former heads of Britain's academy of sciences and Britain's weather office, called on producer Wag TV to remove what it called "major misrepresentations" from the film before the DVD release -- a demand its director said was tantamount to censorship.

Simple question. Why do critics of global warming have to redo their arguments on the demand of the global warming apologists, but the global warming apologists don't have to redo their arguments on the demand of the global warming critics?

Doesn't that strike you as a little one sided?
