I have a guest post over at Ellee Seymour's blog. Its an attempt at explaining TGGWS for more political type folks.
Meanwhile The Independent has an article on the faked graphs; sadly the online version hasn't got the pix.

William, thank you for the post, and it's helpful to see the graph too.

Well, I hope you're thoroughly ashamed of yourself, because according to Ch4 it's just not fair to point out when scientists are fudging their data.

Interesting to note that besides the U-tube copies, Russell Seitz is now hosting a copy of this broadcast personally. I don't have the intestinal fortitude to go see which version he's providing.
It'll be interesting to see how this spreads. I'm afraid this is the future ---- video's most convincing to people who don't read for information.
I suppose those distributing copies have decided to violate the copyright law in a higher cause -- or was the program put into public domain?

Probably best to stick your fingers in your ears when Durkin hears about this - The Now Show 16/3/07 BBC Radio 4

"video's most convincing to people who don't read for information."
It would be good to see a decent science programme do a "Fundamentals Of Climate Change" or even a version of Spencer Weart's book (or David Archer's or Houghton's or a mix). I know there's AIT, but something with climate scientist talking heads and proper graphs etc. would look very good. It might need to be a multi-parter which wouldn't help. I don't know if Horizon or Equinox (does that still exist?) would be up to the job.

I've watched maybe a dozen hours of TV in the past six months, so am not exactly up to speed, but I am sure that Equinox is gone, and there are few science based programs on TV. They'd rather do something about archeology.
