Channel 4 mislead viewers with climate change documentary

A Scientist, in fact, a former Government Scientist, has sparked a controversial debate on whether the latest program he featured in caused viewers to be mislead on the documentary topic, of Climate Change.
Ofcom, the regulator of such channels and programs, received complaints of unfairness, from Sir David King, after The Great Global Warming Swindle was shown.
The basis for the complaint came from Fred Singers incorrect statement, that suggested by the end of the century, the only habitable environment, would be found in the Antarctic.
Subsequently, Ofcom will have conducted a report, of which over 130 points have been raised, over 270 pages, although it’s said that the Channel 4 documentary, did not mislead viewers in anyway, and that is likely to be the verdict.
Producers also claim that it was after the Channel 4 broadcast those relevant complaints we’re received, which actually we’re 6 to 1 in favour of the points made. The film was still sold to 21 other countries and then even produced as a global DVD, despite its disputes from scientists.
