Category Archives: Roger Harrabin Global Warming Policy Foundation

The Global Warming Policy Foundation report into the various “inquiries” that have been held into Climategate was published yesterday, and author Andrew Montford’s very thorough analysis paints a disturbing picture of whitewash and fudge. As regular B-BBC commenter John Anderson lucidly points out in response to my previous post and on What’s Up With That?, coverage of the report by the MSM – even the Guardian – notes that Mr Montford had landed some disturbing punches on the alarmists’ conduct. Predictably, for the BBC’s Roger Harrabin, it’s a different approach. First he claims that the real issue raised by the report is a call for the resignation of the head of the IPCC; second, he gives just three short lip-service parapagraphs to the main substance of Mr Montford’s analysis, buried towards the end of the story; and thirdly, he gives far more space to blustering negative responses from a fanatical warmist MP – who repeats the mantra that the vast majority of scientists believe in global warming, so they must be right, and that those who don’t aren’t scientists – and the UEA, who of course continue to defend their entrenched position. You can rely on our Roger to distort or misrepresent everything to do with climate scepticism.
