Richard Black discusses the alleged “review” of the IPCC that is underway today as if it were genuinely independent. As usual, in his writing, the views of sceptics are only marginally mentioned; and there is no reference to the mountains of work on dozens of websites which show that many of the IPCC’s predictions are dangerous. fantastically expensive hogwash.
Meanwhile, separately from the BBC, sources tell me that the forces of the legal establishment remain intent on crushing those who dare to challenge the climate change orthodoxy; latest in the firing line are Richard North (of EU Referendum) and Christoper Booker (along with the Sunday Telegraph) who are being forced into the High Court to defend various claims about his worship Rajendra Pachauri, the always correct and above reproach IPCC chief. Pachauri’s lawyers are Carter Ruck, of course.
Just rememeber, the BBC was peddling the Himalayan glacier melt as if it were gospel truth until the blogsphere subjected the IPCC claims to proper scrutiny. And, surprise, surprise, Richard Black himself was foremost among those pushing this particular scare.
I repeat, of course, for his BBC lawyer’s benefit, that Richard is above reproach in his expenses claims for attending conferences.
