  The BBC looks down on climate change ‘deniers’….dismissing them as unqualified ‘bloggers’…unlike English graduate Roger Harrabin who can speak authoritatively on climate science….being an English graduate presumably he knows how to write a convincing tale even if not in possession of all the facts. It happened after bloggers seized on a Met Office paper revising downward its decadal global temperature projection for 2017.   Which is why this is … Continue reading →

    While some have argued that ebbs and flows in the Sun’s activity are driving the climate – overriding the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that solar variation only makes a small contribution to the Earth’s climate.       How often have we been told that the sun plays little to no part in the planet’s climate?  It’s the CO2 stupid! … Continue reading →

  From the Guardian: Pen pals can give hope to Guantánamo prisoners The latest US legislation is causing dozens held at Guantánamo Bay to lose hope – but you can make a difference     Got to admire the BBC’s ability to compartmentalize things. On Today this morning we had a long exploration of the disaster that is Syria…conclusion…Assad, who has terrorised his own people with chemical weapons and barrel … Continue reading →

    The telegraph..and many others..including ‘Marketing Week’ (7 hours ago)…report this: West Bromwich Albion shirt sponsors threaten to cancel deal over Nicolas Anelka’s ‘quenelle’ goal celebration Shirt sponsors may withdraw from multi-million deal if West Bromwich Albion striker starts against Everton on Monday   The BBC doesn’t.   Zoopla is owned by a Jewish businessman….wonder why he wants to remove the funding? Anelka is a Muslim making what is … Continue reading →

    I mentioned in previous posts the BBC’s refusal to report the Governor of the Bank of England’s remarks about capping bank market share and bonuses…..it looks like they knew but refused to publish it because it was too ‘Tory friendly’……. The BBC now are eager to examine Carney’s remarks…but the BBC’s Chris Mason seems to have forgotten that he is supposed to be impartial and not be pushing … Continue reading →

    It seems to be the done thing nowadays to psychoanalyze climate sceptics…the science is settled therefore anyone who ‘denies’ it must ‘a loony’ to quote one BBC boss. A favourite device also used by the Soviet Union to eliminate its dissidents. So I think it only fair a similar process is practised on other sectors of society…say comedians for instance…actors too might be worthy of examination…so very lefty. … Continue reading →

Ed Miliband is here to save the banks and don’t the BBC love it? Here’s a new Open Thread to see us all off into the wild blue yonder of the weekend!

  Imagine a global spying network that can eavesdrop on every single phone call, fax or e-mail, anywhere on the planet. It sounds like science fiction, but it’s true. The power of the network, codenamed Echelon, is astounding. Every international telephone call, fax, e-mail, or radio transmission can be listened to by powerful computers capable of voice recognition.   That was written in 1999….and its still true now….what’s new?   … Continue reading →

    Met Office: Arctic sea-ice loss linked to colder, drier UK winters Richard Black ?@enviroblack @markpmcc Leveson… ‘a cultural tendency…to practice journalism which on occasion is deliberately, recklessly or negligently inaccurate’     On Sunday I posted this: Strangle The Climate Sceptics In Their Beds!! It was meant to add some context to a post I intended to write up looking at a BBC piece on the Today show, … Continue reading →
