The programme producers did tweak at least one graph between original broadcast and its repeat on More 4. It removed an erroneous attribution to NASA on its plot of supposed "World Temp" over the last 110 years (in fact it most resembled the temperature in North America over that period and neglected to mention the impact of industrial aerosols). They also changed the timescale, and thus the timing of the temperature changes, yet amazingly retained exactly the same graph shape! But these apparently ad hoc changes did make the graph in the repeated programme correspond very closely to a graph that is posted on the website for the Oregon Petition, which was initiated in the 1990s to persuade President Bush not to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.
 
I understand that Wag TV are preparing to make a killing through sales of the DVD, which is due to be released early next month. There's nothing like making money by misleading the public!

FYI this programme was repeated two or three times on More4 in the weeks after it was broadcast on Channel 4, and I imagine will probably continue to pop up semi-regularly on More4 as practically every programme Channel 4 spends big money on tends to do. Although it’s not scheduled for broadcast in the next week:
