The man behind the controversial Channel 4 documentary The Great Global Warming Swindle, has defended the programme after Ofcom ruled it had misrepresented the comments of a number of leading scientists.

“Even I have been stunned by the sustained ferocity of [the greens'] response. Every line in the film was subjected to scorn,” Martin Durkin writes in the Independent on Sunday.

“I no longer give a stuff whether left-liberal types agree with my views on global warming. However, I do expect every last one of them to defend my right to air them.”
