SOAS Professor in US Christian Evangelical propaganda film

Philip Stott is Britain's leading climate-change denier and Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London.

He has built a career on slating environmentalists and displays an extreme antipathy towards those with concerns about genetic engineering, portraying them as left-wing extremists.

In May 2001, the American Embassy and SOAS jointly hosted a Conference that advanced the interests of Genetically Modified crop manufacturers. Stott chaired the conference, and not a single representative from any environmental organisation spoke at the event.

The environment correspondent of The Guardian has described Prof. Stott as 'an alarming academic' who pushes George W. Bush's agenda.

The Director of the Environmental Research Foundation has said of Stott: 'It is evident that Professor Stott has abandoned his role as a serious scholar and has become a cheerleader for the biotech industry.'

In this US Christian fundamentalist propaganda film called 'The Great Global Warming Swindle', Stott is happy to present his case against climate change, styling himself as an expert on the issue, despite his never having had a single paper published in a scientific journal in the fields in which he most frequently applies this 'expertise', e.g. climate change or tropical ecology.

Any vido that starts off using Religion to attack science that dosent serve their agenda is 100% always corrupt, and has more to do with political leftism than the actual science. And that is just the opening introduction page..Wow..Stott is right by the way .

1:14 - "...climate is not driven by CO2, manmade or otherwise..." whoever said climate was driven by CO2? CO2 just happens to be a good greenhouse gas, that's scientifically proven... so couldn't it just be logical that if the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere were to increase by a certain amount that there would a proportionate change in average temperature on the earth? jusssayin...

Don't really understand why people are angry about this video, i mean seriously he's just putting across another point of veiw. And i really don't get how this is propaganda??? If anything, it comments upon the propaganda put out there by politicians, or was i the only one to spot the irony at the beginning? And will someone please explain to me where god comes into this? he didn't even mention god! Sorry if this sounds aggressive, its not, i just don't get what the problem is? X

As well as those who profile entire countries based on a handful of people, and who inadvertently refer to two continents worth of people when meaning Citizens of the USA...

Global warming movement.....socialist trojan horse

He's right of course. What global warming has more to do with is wealth redistribution.

I am at SOAS and, frankly, surprised that Prof. Stott should have felt comfortable there, surrounded by tree-hugging 'left-wing extremists' as he undoubtedly must have been.

And what's the deal with that comment below my last? Weirdo.
