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.

Credit where credit is due – the BBC has reported with a straight bat the sensible call by Conservative MP David Davis for a major re-think by his party of the £55bn that is being spent on useless ‘climate change’ measures. But it’s a drop in the ocean. Elsewhere the relentless barage of doom-mongering continues. This sordid, highly-selective, deeply dishonest piece from Richard Black continues his record of being the most biased science reporter filing in the MSM. Contrast that to an editorial in the Times this morning. Even though Murdoch’s sons, like the BBC, are ‘climate change’ fanatics, they at least concede that the CRU emails revealed practices and an outlook that were crass and anti-science. Something that Richard Black and his cronies are singularly unwilling to do.
