You just KNEW it was coming. The BBC ran an item on the “Today” programme this morning just before the 7am headlines about the fact that we are entering into a period where England will suffer more from flooding than it has in the past several decades. Wonder if you caught it? At the start of this three minute item, it was made clear that “global warming” was not the cause of this anticipated future flooding and yet, to my amazement, the item finished with the bizarre claim that it “could” be global warming working in a way which no one had considered. So, to summarise, when we experience weather conditions that fit in with the alleged AGW theory it is flagged up as proof positive and when we experience weather conditions that do NOT fit in with alleged AGW, that is still retailed to the public as proof of AGW!!! Th BBC seems incapable of covering any weather story without sensationalising it up as more proof that the end is nigh. It seems a shame that interesting changes in our weather can no longer be discussed without the assertion of AGW being behind it all.
RISING WATERS.

Well if people saw that dickhead Harrabin’s report on Newsnight last night, that should give you the answers.
Remember the IPCC report that said we’d have global warming creating rising tempetatures? Well now even Harrabin is admitting we WON’T have any global warming until 2015, in fact we’ve got global cooling.
Seems to me that CO2 does not create climate change. The climate does.
Don’t you all understand? When it gets hotter it is man-made global warming. When it gets cooler that is “natural forcings” not accounted for in the computer models that disguise the man-made warming which continues underneath, etc. etc.
This is not science – it is religion. Religion of a peculiarly pagan kind at that.
The only solution is punish these bastards for their total inability to maintain an impartial stance on any subject. Where to hit them though? I know… their wallets. Abolish the licence fee. Let’s hope Cameron turns into a nasty Tory when he has replaced that ghastly autistic snot gobbling cyclops in Downing St.
The BBC is not alone. The Times this morning has a similarly lunatic piece suggesting that global warming will trigger independence for Greenland. The vision communicated is that the area is about to become ice-free – when most recent reports suggest that Artic ice, following a very cold winter, is back at previous levels.
Bets on how soon it is before the BBC is recycling the same nonsense?

john redwood on “time team” and global warming..

good article.
Could someone tell the beeb that we had weather yesterday,today and will have weather tomorrow…it’s not news…it’s weather.
January 1953: the sea surges above the England’s east coast, flooding whole areas of East Anglia. It is the worst disaster in peacetime Britain, drowning hundreds of people and sweeping away homes and livelihoods.
Oh my.
Amazing… Low lying East Anglia (the FLAT region of England) shares the North Sea opposite the FLAT Dutch coast line.
Now, I do understand that the BBC would forget that Holland and England has been in a centuries old battle with nature to prevent the erosion of its coastline.
And that had NOTHING to do with “global warming,” or is that “climate change” now?
Has anyone spotted the Burma cyclone being blamed of GWarming?
chuffer — Al Gore crushed two AP reporters to death in getting to a CNN mic to say just that.
Based on uh — his hunch as a barely passed student of Divinity.
Moral of the story: Never get between Al Gore and a TV microphone.
Jack Bauer:
…and never get between John Prescott and a pasty!!!!
No organisation that relies on the government and the criminal law for its massively generous funding is going to undermine any theory, however crackpot, that the government is using to justify extra taxes.
Apparently there is no good footage of the Volcano in Chile – so it “hasn’t happened”.
Can some of the more clued up posters tell me what % of annual global CO2, NO2 and H2SO4 will be pumped out by an average(ish) volcano? I must say that I am terrified, an extra few percent added to the Human produced gas may be enough to push us over the ‘tipping point’ and turn off the Gulf Stream. I have personally decided to reduce my methane emissions to counter this new threat. As this is such a critical issue I think we should lobby the BBC to have a high profile festival hosted Woissie called “Fart Aid” (that should appeal to his very expensive sense of humour) to raise awareness of the sociopathic nature of farting in bed.
you couldn’t make it up
It’s official: green is the new red, according to David Miliband and reported on Newsnight tonight:

That makes scary reading, especially towards the end when we hear of world orders, rules and regulations, and the “insanity” of disagreeing with Herr Miliband’s conclusions.

Yes there’s something a bit Hitler Jugend about young Millbrain
The stern jaw, the clear eye and the eager youthful certainty about everything.
Can’t you imagine him in his brown shirt, lederhosen and kerchief singing…….
…Oh Euroland, Euroland,
Show us the sign
Your children have waited to see.
The morning will come
When the world is mine.
Tomorrow belongs to me!

Has anyone else had trouble posting on the Newsnight site since yesterday?
After their new revamp (with some questions still outstanding on that, especially in the area of data security), I have ‘enjoyed’ a blissfully glitch free, if pre-moderated ride… ’til now.
At least you knew immediately knew posts were received.
Now I am being blanked. No error message (though that word does appear in the URL stream at the top) or advice that I am persona non grata. I know I have been critical, but I follow the rules and am polite.
I even tried a different PC/OS combo in case it was my machine, but just the same. Nada.
I know ‘they know where I live’, but this is darned odd. Even if I have transgressed I deserve to be told I have.
I tried the email to the editor, but on past evidence that is a black hole.
Who up the food chain does one turn to for advice/help?
I am co-funding this zoo and deserve my voice to be heard. Especially wehn a top Minsiter and my national broadcaster ‘discuss’ AGW and claim to be listening… and answering. This is like a news blackout.
“Yes there’s something a bit Hitler Jugend about young Millbrain”
Hardly,Miliband is Jewish,he is more of a Young Pioneer.
“Born in London, David Miliband is the elder son of Polish-born Marion Kozak and the late Belgian-born Marxist theoretician Ralph Miliband.”
A Tranzi through and through.Next stop One World Government

I’m not an Al Gore fan – to say the very least! – but he was actually an honours graduate in government from Harvard, before going to Vietnam.
The divinity and journalism at Vanderbilt University was after he came back from Vietnam.
In fact for some time he was an eternal student as actually he also studied law for three years before dropping out with no exam pass to run for congress.
It doesn’t make his views any more palatable, but its best to state the full facts than leave a false impression (admittedly something that doesn’t seem to bother Gore as much).
So basically Gore knows sweet FA about science or climate?
Similar level to most BBC correspondents…
Yes,but does he look as good in leather?
Miliband got a ‘D’ in A-level physics but then went on to get 1st class Honours in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE), commonly known as ‘the bluffer’s degree’. Miliband is a Marxist like his father, and a Marxist is a traitor to whichever nation he is in because the Marxist does not believe in the nation hence Miliband’s love of EU, UN etc. A bit like the BBC.
Jack (middle name censored) Gore? Compared to which BBC ‘correspondent’?
