I can't find a statement in the article that he didn't get funding for a show to attack global warming.
The sad fact is that since I said I didn’t believe human beings caused global warming I’ve not been allowed to make a TV programme.
That sounds different to me. If he didn't get funding for a show because BBC thought the topic wasn't part of his core competences, that's just fair enough.
If he didn't get funding for a show unrelated to the topic of global warming because of his opinion, then it's a witch hunt.
- 1gor 18y agoHe was not allowed to do programs about plants, which is area of his core competence. He was not proposing new program topics, they banned him from making ANY program. Before they banned him, he presented around 400 TV programmes and published 35 books. Now you understand what happened to Soviet dissidents.
- tptacek 18y agoWhat, they also sent him off to a forced labor camp?
- 1gor 18y agoDissidents were not sent to prison camp after Stalin has died, unless they tried to organize a movement or something. There were actually very few political prisoners in the USSR in the 70s. But those who thought differently and were not afraid of saying that in public were denied jobs and banned from publishing their views. And eventually forced out of the country.
