"It seems that in the world of BBC news reportage there is the right kind of climate change and the wrong kind. The right kind is the sort where listeners’/viewers’ minds can instantly make the connection with CAGW. (As Any Questions phone-in guests very quickly did with the Pakistani flooding and the Ukrainian fires: these were the result of man-made CO2 emissions, no question, apparently). The wrong kind is the type they’ve been experiencing in South America recently (and before that Mongolia) where the freakish cold (which has caused fish and even crocodiles to die) is hard to reconcile with the idea of a dangerously warming planet, and therefore unsuitable for BBC news’s proselytising narrative.
But can this skewed reporting really be deliberate? Oh yes sirree it can, as this fascinating transcript unearthed by Bishop Hill shows. It’s a transcript of a 2005 studio discussion hosted by famous left-wing bad-taste tie-wearer Jon Snow and featuring George Monbiot, in which various media bods are shown arguing how best to report on climate change in such a way as to correct the public’s false consciousness on AGW (as opposed to, er, reporting the facts as they’re understood)."

BBC says sorry to Climategate unit for grilling by John Humphrys (Daily Mail)
"For goodness sake, he was right to question the tide of innacurate science behind the global warming scam.I am a keen environmentalist, but even i know when the figures are being fudged in favour of introducing carbon tax.If you want to save this planet, stop the industrial polution. Carbon tax is just a money making scheme.The green movement has been hijacked by the corporates, and some of us know it.
