Channel 4 recently broadcast a 'documentary' whereby various individuals made somewhat weary claims about GM foods and renewable energy , nuclear power etc etc with the core message being that the Greenpeace and others 'got it wrong' on these subjects. Following on from its previous attempts at criticism of the Greens: 'Against Nature' and 'The Great Climate Change Swindle' Channel 4 seems to confuse critical analysis with sensationalism. 40 years ago we started talking about climate change and pollution , and how unchecked growth would result in economic collapse ,how nuclear power was costly and potentially catastrophic: All of which has been proved RIGHT!
I don't want to suppose but one senses more than a hint of jealousy on our detractors,people listened to us and not them!
