Well, The Guardian along with 55 other newspaper titles in 45 countries may declare that we have “14 days to seal history’s verdict on this generation” as regards the gathering of the AGW cultists in not so wonderful Copenhagen, but hey, the BBC is doing the best it can for “the cause” today. Did anyone else catch “Today” this morning? Check out the totally unbiased headline “A Deal consistent with the Science” Also did you hear Ed Miliband being interviewed? It seems that those who aren’t on board the fake science of the cult are indeed to be henceforth reviled as “flat-earthers.” I particularly liked the way in which the totally impartial at all times BBC commissioned its own poll to show that 75% of people around the globe are “seriously concerned” with Climate Change. I suppose that helps offset the recent poll that almost half the UK population do not buy into the AGW hysteria being peddled day in day out by the BBC. The BBC also intoned that “hopes were rising” that there will be a binding deal at Copenhagen. Whose hopes? Not mine, and I suspect there will be many other people watching this UN-controlled circus anxious that no deal is agreed. It seems to me that the BBC is a key global cheer-leader for what is now happening at Copenhagen and the next two weeks will see it bring all of it’s media force – care of OUR cash -to bear on the advancement of the AGW watermelon agenda.
WONDERUL WONDERFUL COPENHAGEN!

It is even more disturbing that the first 4 minutes (of approx 9) of the news at 8:00 am on Radio 4 this morning was devoted to propaganda concerning AGW. We were informed (in a quoted statement from a very aggressive beggar) that, unless we cough up, the African Union will “walk out” of the Copenhagen negotiations: a stance that be given a hearty f*** off our government (which is there to represent us, isn’t it?). Then (as DV notes) Miliband was given freedom of the airways (prompted by Humphrys) to give an ad hominem bashing to the “flatearthers” and those scientists who dare to disagree with the “consensus”. Miliband (not a scientist, as he admitted) gave an unchallenged lecturette on CO2 and the greenhouse effect. As regards Miliband and the rest of the political warmists encouraged by the BBC, H L Mencken’s remark is apposite “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.”
And on it goes . . . last night on BBC 24 News at 10:00 pm, Shukman gave his usual even-handed assessment of the “improving” prospects for a BBC-approved deal in Copenhagen. Apparently, according to Shukman, unless one of the negotiators brings up Climategate (how likely is that?), it’ll be buried and the transfer of our wealth South and East can start. Cue smiles and sighs of relief from Shukman in Copenhagen and Michal in the studio.
That should read ” . . . a stance that should be given a hearty f*** off by our government . . . .
The African Union is threatening to walk out? Oh noes! We can’t have that.
Umbongo
Yes, did you hear the bluster from the AU? Mind, it’s all OUR FAULT! We will insist on having an industrialised economy – the selfish swine that we are.
Another story you wont here on the BBC today
Denmark rife with CO2 fraud (http://www.cphpost.dk/news/national/88-national/47643-denmark-rife-with-co2-fraud.html)
“One of the cases, which stems from the Danish register, involves fraud of more than 8 billion kroner. This case, in which nine people have been arrested, is being investigated in England.”
Even if it is an alleged fraud of over 1 million pounds.
Good piece on “Hide the Decline ” over at American Thinker today.

That’s a really good, and quite easy to understand, article – should be cumpolsory reading for the sheep.
i prefer the new terminology..
CO2mmunists
‘watermelon’ is like so.. yesterday
Great but how do you say it?!!
i aint got a clue Paul.
it speaks, without the need to vocalise…
“see-oh-two-munists” sounds good.
Whilst in the Gym today, I saw on BBC News 24 a feature on the conference and they ran the video specially created to open the event. It was a disturbing fillm of a huge flood of water engulfing the land with a single tree jutting out of the water. As it zoomed in it showed a young girl (probably about 10 years old) clinging for dear life from the tree and screaming desperately. This is the level the hysteria andf propaganda has got to. it was clearly designed to provoke gullible people to guilt and fear and therefore, despite the hard times, to willingly cough up their contribution to the huge amount of money this charade will cost.
Frightening.
I meant to ask – did anyone else see it?
There’s no longer any question that the “scientific consensus” was created via fraud. There is also no longer any question that the primary motivation behind the politicians, activists, and media prosletyzers is political.
The language of this mass sermon from all those newspapers is classic neo-Marxist: “social justice”, and “fairness requires that the burden placed on individual developed countries should take into account their ability to bear it”.
This is the same language Gordon Brown and other Leftoids use when engaging in class warfare. Many of us have been saying this for years. In fact, back when the BBC’s David Gregory was brave enough to engage in debate here, I tried to make that point to him. He generally dismissed it, as have all defenders of the indefensible (not including the new boy). Now we know they’re wrong about both the science and politics behind it all.
The BBC is now actively engaging in their own form of denial, deliberately misleading the public to protect their own fragile egos. Sad.
On the BBC’s contribution:
“The temple of science denial”
(Melanie Phillips)
[Extract]:
“Even by the standards of the group-think at the BBC, such a wholesale negation of the most fundamental rules of objective reporting is simply astounding. Is this not a breach of the BBC’s Charter? How long is the pathetic BBC Trust going to be a party to this travesty?”

For BBC: ‘Political left’ now doubtful:
“Climategate: scientific consensus?”
http://www.hurryupharry.org/2009/12/07/climategate-scientific-consensus/
Isn’t Harry on the left? As indeed is Prof Stott. It is not a straight left or right as the media want us to beleive
BBC to support?:
“Climate change Petition: Stop brainwashing our children”
http://dailyreferendum.blogspot.com/2009/10/climate-change-petition-stop.html
“BBC dispatches 35 staff to climate talks – creating as much carbon as an African village does in a year”
“The BBC is sending 35 people to… climate change talks in Copenhagen – creating as much carbon dioxide as an African village does in a whole year.
“The corporation said its delegation of 12 presenters, along with a backup team of researchers, producers and camera crews, will spend up to two weeks in the Danish capital on expenses to cover the global summit.
“Critics said the numbers were ‘absolutely staggering’ and accused the BBC of playing fast and loose with licence payers’ money.
“If all 35 BBC staff go by plane, they will generate around six or seven tons of carbon dioxide.
“Conservative MP Philip Davies said: ‘It’s absolutely staggering. It’s yet another example of how wasteful the BBC is.’ ”
