THE DENIAL MACHINE

on CBC Nov 15... repeats Nov 17, 18, 19 & 21
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"In the past few years, a hurricane has engulfed the debate
about global warming. This crucial scientific issue has
become a rhetorical firestorm with science pitted against
spin and inflammatory words on both sides.

How could scientific fact, which many believe could
determine the very future of the planet, become a political
battleground, pitting left versus right, environmentalist
versus climate change sceptic?

The Denial Machine follows a small but powerful group
of scientists who argue, among other claims, that global
warming may be a good thing and it investigates their
links to the oil and coal industries.

Bob McKeown investigates why a debate that some
say could determine the very future of our planet has
become a partisan battleground."
