From the channel that brought you The Great Global Warming Swindle... The press have been trying to stir up controversy around Channel 4's showing this week of a documentary called What The Green Movement Got Wrong, but actually it's a conversation that should be had. Will it be a mature debate about what we should rule in or out in the fight against climate change, or will it be like airing our dirty linen in public?

What the Green Movement Got Wrong
On: Channel 4
Time: 21:00 to 22:20
A group of environmentalists across the world are challenging the movement they helped to create. They believe that in order to save the planet, humanity must embrace the very science and technology they once so stridently opposed. In this 75-minute film, these life-long diehard greens advocate radical solutions to climate change which include GM crops and nuclear energy. They argue that by clinging to an ideology formed more than 40 years ago - the traditional green lobby has failed in its aims and is ultimately harming its own environmental cause. This film is followed by a studio debate chaired by Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
What the Green Movement Got Wrong: The Debate
On: Channel 4
Time: 22:20 to 23:05
A live studio debate, chaired by Channel 4 News presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy, to discuss the issues raised in the preceding documentary What the Green Movement Got Wrong. The film's leading protagonists, former anti-GM activist and author Mark Lynas and Stewart Brand, a pioneer of the original green lobby, face critics from today's green movement in front of an informed studio audience. Leading policy makers, commentators, scientists, entrepreneurs and economists will debate the impact the green movement has had on global climate change and whether embracing the very science and technology the greens once so stridently opposed, such as GM crops and nuclear energy, would be more successful in reducing the risks to the planet from global warming.
