The BBC’s Start The Week had a look at how we should respond to climate change…starting from the position that climate change is happening, it is man made and it is the West that has caused it.
There was much talk of climate justice, changing the moral economy and compensation for the third world, those innocent victims suffering the consequences of the industrial world’s pillaging, exploitation and destruction of the environment and world’s resources.
All the guest speakers were on board the climate change band wagon, Naomi Klein would in any other sphere of life be declared an extremist, possibly a terrorist, for her views and intentions to destroy the Western world’s economy and incite revolution and an uprising of the people….but the BBC loves her.
Curious that Lord Lawson is missing from this conversation, after all the BBC declared he definitely hadn’t been banned from the air waves, and this was the perfect topic for his declared interest which is, not necessarily the science of climate change, but which policies we adopt in reaction to it…hence his think tank…The Global Warming Policy Foundation.
The Global Warming Policy Foundation is unique. We are an all-party and non-party think tank and a registered educational charity which, while open-minded on the contested science of global warming, is deeply concerned about the costs and other implications of many of the policies currently being advocated.
We are in no sense ‘anti-environmental’. There is a wide range of important environmental issues, which call for an equally wide range of policy responses. Our concern is solely with the possible effects of any future global warming and the policy responses that may evoke.
The BBC obviously bowed to pressure from the professional green lobbyists such as Bob Ward (not a scientist) to keep Lawson off air….though no problem bringing on a Bangladeshi writer and novelist, Tahmima Anam, to talk about climate and policies the West needs to adopt…more money for Bangladesh please.
Not the first time the BBC environmental reporting has bowed to such pressure…Harrabin famous for his altering of a report to suit a green activist.
The very cowardly, unethical and unprofessional BBC pumping ot pure propaganda for the climate lobby.
The West did not pillage the environment in the 20th century.
The reason why the West must pay compensation to the Third World, is that the West, selfishly and with total disregard for the rest of the world, used up all the CO2 credits that nature made available for mankind, for the 20th century. For this, we, our children and generations yet to come, must pay for the CO2 credits + interest, we stole.

I suppose there was no mention of mining Comets, for an infinite source of hydrocarbons.
Oil on Earth originates from Comets, it came with the water, and has survived in isolated pools in the Earth’s crust.
I was always puzzled with the old Organics explanation, due to the locations of Oil in the Earths surface.
I listened and had the same reaction as you… until I tried to put myself into a “Beebthink” mindset.
Then it suddenly became clear that the science of climate change is settled (because we say so) and the proper way to maintain balance in a discussion on the subject is to invite a panel of AGW believers to discuss their different nuances of belief.
Obvious, really.
That probably is the way they think inside the bubble.
How about the bbc coughing up 92 years worth of Global warming from their transmitters & studio emissions .Oh thought not . nothing to do with us guv, blame the power companies .
I heard some of that program, kept waiting in vain for even a mild dissident voice against all the climate change crap. Instead it was like listening to Judean Peoples Front stereotypes split hairs over the best & quickest way to bring down civilisation. Good lord the bias is getting worse and worse!
it is complete garbage. China is the world’s leading industrial power and set to become totally dominant in the next generation. It is not a Western country. Any discussion that ignores this is withour validity and should be ignored.
The obsession is a by product of the decline of religious belief in the West. The liberal needs to have a cause.
Daniel Greenfield covered this a couple of posts ago. Read it.

Climate Change is an improvement on Global Warming, as it allows for Global Cooling, but the manmade religion only has a Hiatus or Global Warming. I would not blame China either, there are real pollutants though, but carbon dioxide is not one of them.
Causational Climate scientists, especially those with answers in Astronomy both for Solar Irradiance, Solar Magnetism, Cloud Albedo changes and the carbon dioxide atmosphere of Venus are totally absent from the BBC, due to censorship from its environmental activist experts masquerading as the ‘best scientific experts’
At least Parliamentarians with scientific qualifications such as Peter Lilly and Graham Stringer, as well as Lord Lawson and the GWPF are better informed on these issues than the BBC morons who censor the core Science, Scientists and Scientific debate about issues such as the solution to the core basics of calibrating temperature changes in planetary atmospheres.
As Environmentalists such as Patrick Moore and David Bellamy have known for some time, causational climate scientists in Astronomy can show that there is nothing we can do to stop the Climate from Changing from a warming to a cooling trend, as these trends are natural trends and therefore Environmentalism is just another one of those primitive religions for people with inferior intelligence. Christianity and Islam superseded these type of primitive religions, and are more advanced religions than the left-wing Humanist religion at the BBC, although the Humanists seem to identify more closely with Islam and worship scientists as priests, while at the same time censoring the priests from having any free live debate on the BBC.
Climate Change is the equivalent of “Heads I win, tails you lose”.
Naomi Klein is a deranged harridan whose recent miscarriage a Guardian article attributed to climate change ….
c’mon …
This programme nearly caused me to hurl an expensive Internet radio straight into the bin. Klein, clearly, is barking mad. She has taken the deliberate inversion of reality designed to engender a Communist revolution as her inspiration and taken it to such ludicrous extremes that the only suitable place for her in the R4 schedule is All In The Mind.
What irks isn’t that someone who is as opposed to the Western way of life as ISIL (and I doubt she’d quibble with that) is allowed on BBC, but that there was no one to show what a complete half-wit she is.
It is simply not good enough for the BBC to keep spewing out this eco extremism and not offer us a sane counterview.
If that other nasty little control-freak, May, is insistent on controlling people with ‘extreme political views’ then Klein should be banged-up the moment she strolls through Heathrow – and most of the BBC’s editorial department along with her.
BBC experts were exposed some time ago as being profoundly and congenitally ‘biased’ and yet these ‘journalists’ would fail a simple science test. They may argue that they have ‘scientific experts’ to prove the Sun revolves around the Earth – but if he one person states otherwise he (or she) is called a heretic. The BBC bishops of relativity (left swing collectivism). For them it is essential that we ‘believe’ a false statement – whatever the facts of the case, the truth will not be revealed until the License fee is proved to contain false prophets.
Delingpole wrting in The Spectator in 2012:
‘So who were all these ‘best scientific experts’ who did so much to shape the BBC’s climate policy (and by extension, one fears, government policy too…)? Well, two were from Greenpeace; one was from Stop Climate Chaos; one was a CO2 reduction expert from BP; one was from Npower Renewables; one came from the left-leaning New Economics Foundation… Only five of those present could, in any way, be considered scientists with disciplines even vaguely relevant to ‘climate change’. And of these, every one had a track record of climate alarmism. No wonder the BBC tried so hard to keep the list of 28 a secret. Its claim that its policy change was based on the ‘best scientific’ expertise turns out to have been a massive lie.’

The mainstream media is slow to catch on, probably because they do not see any difference between environmental activists and the scientists that they censor, but hopefully it probably will unravel once Fraser Steel and the Editorial Complaints Unit of the BBC become famous next year.
The Media, Culture and Sport Select Committee is holding further sessions with the BBC in the next two years, and there are angry MP’s who want to know more about the reasons for why the BBC follows advice to censor science, scientists and scientific debate, from an army of advisers without scientific qualifications.
In 20 years listening to Start The Week this was the worst one I have ever heard.Anne Mcivoy mostly talked in in-crowd graduate jargon that the person on the street would not understand.Her probing of the 2 identikit progressive green self-righteous left females was timid and hesitant as if she was apologising for ever having to question them.At no point did she bring up the subject of why the green movement avoids discussing the rising global population`s affect on green politics credibility or that implementing green policies like green taxes affects the living standards of low-income people.The man on the panel had no personality and seemed frightened of confrontation.Incidentally Anne Mcivoy is someone who believed that Ken Clarke should have resigned from the cabinet a couple of years for clumsily stating a self-evident truth that there are different types of rapes .Of course the BBC will never reveal how or why a lady who clearly believes political correctness comes ahead of either freedom of speech or inconvenient truths lands a plum job like the new Start The Week presenter
