Wind turbine construction in Butterwick

Climate change is the biggest threat we face, we can agree with the film producers on that. And if nuclear power was a feasible part of the solution to the climate crisis then we would change our position.

Channel 4 has broadcast another film bashing environmentalists, including Greenpeace.

We put science and practical solutions at the core of everything we do, which is why we're dismayed that Channel 4 would commission a programme littered with bad science and factual errors.

It's not just us saying it. Earlier this week statistics about climate change opinions from MORI had to be removed because they were misleading. Now one of the main contributors, Adam Werbach, is publically saying he was badly misled by Channel 4. If you'd like to read our response to the Channel 4 claims, go here.

The Channel 4 film claims environmentalists were responsible for a ban on DDT, which led to the death of millions from malaria. But DDT was never banned for use as a malaria preventative.
