I am the guy who rediscovered the 'secret' list.
Some of comments here must've been made in a hurry or in jest if not with too much hate. Let me clarify once:
1. I have not invented the word 'Ecademist'
2. I have not invented the word 'Omnology'
3. The BBC refused to provide the list saying it was secret
4. However the list hasd never been secret - one of the organizing bodies had put it up in a PDF file since removed from the site
5. However they forgot to remove the broken link
6. Wayback machine had a snapshot of that pdf file at the same link. That's why it has effectively trumped all attempts at evading FOI
7. The same site mentioned above contains to this day a list of the participants to the 2008 seminar. So once again those lists were not secret and had never meant to be secret.
The BBC has effectively spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to protect the unprotectable, hide what was in plain sight and bully a pensioner with a barrage of untruths.
It would be rather peculiar if such a behavior were confined to Climate change alone.
Ps I do not believe in conspiracy theories
