On Monday December 7, BBC1’s News at Ten adopted an interesting use of scale to illustrate claims about greenhouse gas emissions made by Lord Stern’s Grantham Research Institute:
As you can see the entire 2009 column fits easily into the gap between the GRI’s projected and hoped for target for 2020, giving a misleading, exaggerated impression. (The screengrab comes from this week’s Newswatch.)
Update 19.35. In the comments Asuka notes the use of danger-sign red for the word “Carbon”. And of course, green equals good.
What do you expect from a bunch of Arts graduates?
Which is it; stupidity or deceitfulness? It’s hard to say with BBC employees. They seem to be stupid and deceitful in equal measure. Carbon is in red too. Which means evil, or wrong. Who knew that the fourth most abundant element in the solar system, foundation for all living things on this planet is evil?
Hopefully Nasa or Roscosmos will agree to take a Beeboid on their next trip to the ISS, and whilst they’re up there jettisson said Beeboid into the cold vacuum of space to go and purify the solar system of that nasty element. All we need to do is convince either agency to waste vital upmass on something as utterly worthless as a Beeboid.
Newswatch this morning = complaints about climategate coverage. Silly me the first two letters were from the usual suspects who opined that the BBC shouldn’t even allow non-believers a platform on TV.
What the left don’t realise is that the science is tainted. It’s been tainted for years and Climategate has made it worse.
I notice that there is a change of emphasis now, we have climate change rather than global warning and now more and more I hear that human activity “contributes” to climate change. That’s not what they were saying only 6 months ago. Then it was human activity IS responsible for climate change.
The crunching of gears from the BBC and the leftist media as they try to put the eco machine into reverse gear is so obvious.
Of course what these wet liberals miss is that Copenhagen will achieve nothing as none of the useless politicians will do the radical things they say they will do.
The Tories for example will still allow the third runway at Heathrow to go ahead just as Labour will.
All that will happen is taxes will go up but the amount of flying will stay the same. Th eonly people who will pay are the less well off who won’t be able to fly at all.
Iwonder if the BBC will report this (from Bishop Hill)
http://bishophill.squarespace.com/blog/2009/12/12/schneider-doesnt-want-to-acknowledge-climategate.html
which shows Stephen Schneider – the well known promoter of warmist alarmism – calling in armed guards to protect himself from a reasonable but inconvenient question from a journalist at a press conference.
As a follow-up to the piece by Richard North (of ‘EU Referendum blog’), which was referred to on B-BBC (but not on BBC), his colleague, Christopher Booker, has this:
“What links the Copenhagen conference with the steelworks closing in Redcar?”

This time you are not with the programme. Standard graphics ploys – thats the nature of graphic communication.
There really is nothing to see here – or really get too worked up about.
The nature of graphic communication on the BBC is to distort? No wonder we see so much of it these days.
Newswatch thought it was worth mentioning.
BBC “We explain the broad majority of climate change scientists say that the evidence is clear that human activity has contributed to global warming”
This statement is just what you’d expect from the BBC. How much has human activity contributed to global warming and how many scientists say that the evidence is clear? Who are this broad majority of climate change scientists?
2,500 scientists, ad nauseum?
With all the fudging of the data and reliability of the data it seems that there is no way of knowing how much human activity has contributed to global warming. Possibly it’s a minute percentage which is not worth spending trillions on. As for that broad majority of scientists, the BBC won’t elaborate on the numbers who have explicitly stated that human activity has contributed to global warming, not that it really means anything in the current climate of distortion, lies and corruption.
“It’s an assertion repeated by politicians and climate campaigners the world over: “2,500 scientists of the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agree that humans are causing a climate crisis.”
But it’s not true. And, for the first time ever, the public can now see the extent to which they have been misled. As lies go, it’s a whopper. Here’s the real situation.”

The BBC are going to be exposed for the dishonest lying bunch of crooks they are.
The BBC tries to justify its wholly dishonest AAM coverage by trying to hide behind a so called ‘consensus’ citing the BBC trusts supposed decision to allow the BBC deny fair airtime to dissidents and sceptics BUT the BBC would never give the green light to the BBC to present obviously faked and forged evidence to back up the man made global warming theory and this is the achilles heel of the BBCs actions isnt it?
The obviously fraudulant ‘science’ behind much of the BBC output cannot be hidden forever, at some point the reports cobbled together from trash science will be found out, the blind adherence to by the BBC to faked and forged evidence will be dicovered sooner or later.
Black/Shukman/Harrabin are guilty of peddling a fraud, they will have to justify their actions as the fakery and forgery is exposed, all the thousands of trash science scaremongering reports based on fraudulant evidence and research cannot stand up in the face of reality.
Look for the split between the BBC trust and the BBC propagandists, sooner or later the BBC trust will try to distance itself from the fraud, the BBC chiefs who directed the fraudulant coverage will try to create a firewall by handing over the lesser employees to the wolves at which point the foot soldiers will spill the beans on the whole charade, Mr big time beeboid executive aint gonna want to carry the can, thats for the little guy!
All the fake conferences and bought off rent a rabble parasite troublemakers and faked science and watermellon plastic revolutionaries in the world cannot hide the truth forever.
I’m starting think there’s more to conspiracy theories involving UN, IPCC, EU, NWO and all their enablers. Whatever – there’s something really wrong taking over our futures – childish expectations dashed.
With so many posts an climate on B-BBC its hard to know where to post.
Why eco-light bulbs aren’t what they seem
The Copenhagen battle over climate change funds
Why micro wind turbines don’t work
Is it just possible the BBC is hedging its bets? If or when the whole MMGW circus folds its tents will the BBC point to these examples and say they were giving both sides despite appearances.
Apoloogies if posted elsewhere….
If the dollar pops in 45-60 days, the pound soon follows….
its going to get messy here in the UK…
what do people think??? is it stocking up time????
