Leighton is on summer break, so we are highlighting some of his favourite guests from 2025.

In 2007, Documentary maker Martin Durkin produced “The Great Global Warming Swindle”.

With 17 more years of predictions, Durkin has released “Climate: The Movie, The Cold Truth”.

By utilising facts, statistics and some of the world’s leading scientists, Durkin shows why the science is still not settled. (Judge for yourself by searching  the movie title free on line).

UN climate official warns only ’two years’ to save the world from environmental crisis... again.
