Whenever you turn over a stone involving reports about ‘climate change’ at the BBC, it reveals a whole new rats’ nest of other problems. Take this report designed to show that, even if the IPCC has got it wrong about Himalayan glaciers, changes to rainfall patterns caused by ‘climate change’ will wreak havoc. It’s part, of course, of the BBC’s damage limitation efforts to shore up climate alarmism in the … Continue reading
It’s endlessly fascinating to watch how the BBC wriggles and turns to ensure that it keeps churning out ‘climate change’ lies. One technique used with obdurate single-mindedness is to report only the views of those who agree that there is ‘consensus’. Thus when the government’s chief scientist, Sir John Beddington, says that’s the case, that’s what the BBC reports. Never mind the latest revelations about the IPCC lies about the … Continue reading

For Mark Mardell there was only one word to describe Obama’s SOTU speech, and boy did he use it on the Today programme: “striking phrases… striking phrase… striking passage… the words were striking” (that last one appears on his blog, too). His colleague Paul Adams preferred a different cliché, telling the Today audience it was Obama’s “most important speech to date”. Of course it was Paul – they always are. … Continue reading
The BBC has finally woken up to some elements of the deluge of climate realism that has emerged via blogs over the past months, and has reported that the CRU may have acted illegally in not complying to freedom of information requests about its data. But have no fear, behind the scenes, its propagandists are working as assiduously as ever to produce ‘climate change’ moonshine. Back in November, I found … Continue reading

The bias lies in the very first sentence. “UN development projects in Gaza are being stalled by Israel’s blockade of the region.” As we all know, the BBC has such a loathing of Israel that it always spins in favour of Hamastan and of course when the UN is involved, it’s a double-header of rancid bias. Wonder why the BBC couldn’t run the same item as follows, “UN development projects … Continue reading
I know that Biased BBC has quite a few readers involved in farming. A very noble but challenging activity but not one the BBC has much sympathy for – unless, of course, it is about environmentalism rather than producing food! Listened to an item this morning on Today @ 7.16am which was all about the link-up between farmers and environmentalists, aimed at squeezing more cash from Brussels in exchange for … Continue reading
