Did you see that programme on Channel 4 a couple of years back
www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TqqWJugXzs&feature=related (Part 1 of 9)

it caused an uproar, scientists complained to Channel 4 that it was showing a biased view etc etc.

Are you surprised?
"Mr Durkin [the producer] admitted that his graphics team had extended the time axis along the bottom of the graph to the year 2000. 'There was a fluff there,' he said. If Mr Durkin had gone directly to the NASA website he could have got the most up-to-date data. This would have demonstrated that the amount of global warming since 1975, as monitored by terrestrial weather stations around the world, has been greater than that between 1900 and 1940—although that would have undermined his argument. 'The original NASA data was very wiggly-lined and we wanted the simplest line we could find,' Mr Durkin said."

That wasn't even a scientist - it was a column in the Independent. Later, Ofcom ruled that at least two scientists - who broadly supported the idea of global warming as an issue - were misrepresented in the way their interviews were used and edited
