the fact of the matter is regardless of if you agree with Bolt or not he has his own show and it speaks to many people with a political persuasion which for all intent and purposes we shall say is to the right. Personally i have no problem with the show because at least it is animating people to act and become involved in the political discourse of our nation which can only be a good thing. If you don't agree with Bolt don't watch it simple as that ... the is Q&A on the ABC which i know a few people think is probably more left leaning then center or impassive (and lets be real here it is the ABC) then it claims to be (listen to the audience sometime when a Liberal party supporter speaks and compare to when a Green party supporter speaks haha) I am not saying that a TV show should be impassive it shouldn't particularly when that show goes out and says i am going to support this point of view ... its not a news program after all and doesn't pretend to be, its a commentary show.
As for global warming there are legitimate doubts about the actual effects that humanity is playing withing the scientific community, no doubt we are defiantly having at least a minor effect but if it is on the scale of planetary effects is still up in the air (after all 70% of greenhouse warming is caused by water vapor). The more important fact that many over look is that humanity is affecting the ocean with its carbon output within 100years the acidification caused by our sudden large release of Carbon will have made the top 300m of ocean too acidic for most forms of Crustaceans and mollusc's to form shells thus wiping them out and destroying global food chains that support ocean biodiversity and about 1.5billion human lives ... who cares about global warming when this is going to happen ... not might but will, unless we can remove carbon directly from the atmosphere.
