The growing climate of censorship in climate change

Global warming scientists are under intense pressure to water down their findings and are then accused of silencing their critics

By George Monbiot  /  THE GUARDIAN , LONDON

After Durkin's film was broadcast, one of the scientists it featured, Carl Wunsch, complained that his views on climate change had been misrepresented. He says he has received a legal letter from Durkin's production company, Wag TV, threatening to sue him for defamation unless he agrees to make a public statement that he was neither misrepresented nor misled.

Would it be terribly impolite to suggest that when such people complain of censorship, some projection is taking place?
