BBC gone cold on global warming?

Posted on 13 March 2013 by Scottish-Sceptic

In the past, I found a good barometer of the latest propaganda from the warmists was to search the BBC for their copy-and-paste warmist articles.
I can’t find any! Searching BBC + “Global warming” brings up nothing but other people talking about global warming (or perhaps more accurately, the word “global warming” perhaps as an out of date link on a page with recent news).
Indeed, I thought I had found an offender in Paul Hudson’s article “Still no sign of spring“, but reinforcing my previous post … it was a sceptic comment that brought up the subject and not Paul Hudson.
The daft thing, is that if anyone were to suggest erecting massive skyscrapers throughout the British countryside based on the flimsiest evidence … the chattering classes as represented by the BBC would be the first to object. So, starting from where we are now, there is no way on earth anyone could introduce the policy of destroying the countryside on the basis of such flimsy “evidence” on the climate.
So, we do not carry on the policy of wind because it is supported, by the chattering classes, but because attacking the policy means attacking their own actions. In short, all that is keeping this bandwagon going, is the momentum it gained from a decade of spin … because those usually tasked with applying the breaks (politicians, green groups, environmentalsists, etc.) are too damned embarrassed by their own hypocritical actions attacking the sceptics to now do the job.

    But Google Newsing “BBC + climate change” gives 8 of the first 10 direct from the BBC so I think it is just rebranding. Whuch is what one does when the original brand is associeted with shoddiness or fraud.

    I agree with neil, ‘global waming’ is only used by sceptics and ‘climate change’ and ‘global weirding’ is more popular. That said, the BBC is losing steam on AGW. They couldn’t borrow the hype over Sandy the way the US alarmists could.
    With the UK temp well below normal I’m waiting for the Met Office to update the running average. It’s going to come close the the norm. It wasn’t until March that they added 2013 and I wondered if they were hoping March would be warm and tug the annual average above the zero line. No such luck guys! If the global temp follows the UK then it’s all over for AGW for decades.
    If the BBC hosts a proper prog looking at scepticism you’ll know it’s over.

    Well said Neil, the best yet.

    Neil — in retrospect, you may be in a much better position that I to judge the BBC. Before Xmas I was working about 60hours a week on climate. Now, I’m doing other things (still catching up from last year) all day and sitting down for a coffee. So, maybe the drop is my change in activity rather than the BBC.
