Here we have the BBC’s Richard Black in the oleagenous, snake-oil-salesman mode he adopts whenever he seeks to tell us that he’s listening to sceptics. He tries to convey that the Oxburgh report into Climategate had an important core message; that it’s vital that climate scientists ensure that their work is accompanied by suitable warnings about its limitations. Yet he omits to tell us the most crucial fact in this particular equation – that in reaching their conclusions, Oxburgh and his fanatic cronies chose just 11 papers as a “representative sample” to verify whether porkies were being told. And when asked, the Royal Society (the body which was behind the enquiry) come up with completely fishy explanations like this about how these papers were chosen. As Bishop Hill points out, it’s a bit odd – to put it mildly – that the 11 were exactly the same as those also chosen by the House of Commons for its recent Climategate report. These people obviously think we are total, utter imbeciles.
Such contradictions are clearly far too complicated and too inconvenient for Mr Black to even consider.
My question is : how does one force the powers that be to conduct a proper investigation into the Climategate deceit?
‘These people’ don’t think we are total, utter imbeciles.
They don’t think about their audience at all. Their ‘news’ is total self-indulgence.
The licence fee ensures this.
A crooked state protected by a crooked state broadcaster protecting a crooked state ‘science’ institution, who now can deny that?
Their arrogance is simply staggering, they believe that they are so powerful and untouchble that they can get away with such a lazy and sloppy cover up and get away with it.
Sadly they seem to be doing just that, a media that should have ripped apart such an obvious stitch up seems uninterested and blind to it.
The media should have been ripping the participants to shreds yet there is no investigation and the fraud continues apace. The crooked lying state doing what the crooked lying state does best.
‘As Bishop Hill points out, it’s a bit odd – to put it mildly – that the 11 were exactly the same as those also chosen by the House of Commons for its recent Climategate report.’
Now why, he asks rhetorically, is what looks pretty relevant, factual analysis coming from such a free source, as opposed to the vast, enforcement-funded national broadcaster?
At best, at very best, one can only presume its globe-trotting PRasNews propaganda pushers are really only qualified to report on the next Peppa Pig release.
The brainwashing doesn’t stop there with the BBC.
The Open University pumps up Climate change as a man made problem. It was a main component of S301 Science Foundation Course which I did some time ago. This course was introduced in 1997, so it goes back that far (it has now been superceded by an updated version).
When I queried the validity of this arguement, using the facts and data that the OU supplied, I was treated as a heretic, and when I pointed out the scare tactics used in their literature were ‘unscientific’, I thought I’d be burnt at the stake!
Climate change is a fact, but it is to do with a 21,000 year cycle of the Earth’s changing orbit with the Sun. We are in an inter-glacial period, and it will get hotter over the next thousands of years, because our orbit is moving nearer the sun.
Warmism crops up frequently in other non climate related courses Science courses as well.
