The final episode of the BBC’s ‘A Perfect Planet’ contains multiple factual inaccuracies and gives an unchallenged platform to political activists, the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) has said in a complaint to the broadcaster.
Prominent claims in the final episode of the series are contradicted by the recently published findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Royal Society, and the leading instrumental datasets.
A Perfect Planet was conceived as an explicitly campaigning show. James Cross, creative director at BBC Creative, has said the series and accompanying billboard campaign aims to “shock people into action” and “influence popular culture, using shock tactics to do that.”
The complaint also points out that contributors such as Jeremy Rifkin are proponents of a “degrowth” policy, which is a concept controversial even among environmentalists.
Harry Wilkinson, Head of Policy at the GWPF, who wrote the complaint, said: “The impression created by the documentary is of ‘radical…out of control’ increases in extreme weather, and this is clearly not supported by the scientific evidence.”
The BBC’s latest documentary is another example of misleading activism on the part of the broadcaster. The GWPF is challenging the program’s inaccuracies in order to improve public understanding of climate change trends.

BBC is just the British version of CNN lying to its viewers sine 24/7 and A Perfect Planet just more leftists Propaganda
More and more it is difficult to hide the anti-science, anri-factual nature of the climate consensus.
It is difficult to hide the inadequacies of the climate change movement. One of their main strategies is to ignore them, such as the 100% failure of the climate change doom and gloom predictions. They can get away with this because the mainstream media is careful to apply censorship and the public is never informed.
The same lying has been revealed at the Bureau of Meteorology here in Australia. They have reduced high temperatures of past years to make current temperatures look higher, to support their claim of AGW. Based on what I’ve read, there are other Met Offices around the world doing the same thing. Needless to say, these people are actually public servants and they are deceiving the people who pay their wages.
BTW – we have had the coldest “summer” I have experienced in my 72 years on planet earth.
Tampering with the equipment fudging around with the data placing Tempeture Monitoring devices in Paved Parking Lots Its all a big time scam
“Perfect planet” – how? Over billions of years it has been far from “perfect”. Chaos often the rule, always trying to seek some kind of balance. Subject to constant changes at random. both internally and from space. Whole species extinguished as “experiments” or suited to that time, but not a changing Earth. And so on and on. “Perfect” simply echoes the Eden myth, which contradicts itself: Yahweh puts one tree in his “perfect” garden and creates a wise disruptive serpent which opens the eyes and understanding of the “perfect” couple. Perfect Eden is lost. Why did Yahweh put the serpent there?
