BBC BLASTED OVER CLIMATE CHANGE ‘BIAS’

Daily Express
"In an open letter to Lord Hall, GWPF trustees Lord Lawson, Labour’s Lord Donoughue and Liberal Democrat ­Baroness Nicholson highlighted “28gate” – a BBC seminar that shaped its coverage of climate change. It was held in 2006 between 28 senior BBC staff and 28 outsiders whom the BBC Trust later described as “some of the best scientific experts”. After the meeting the BBC said the weight of evidence meant it could no longer justify giving the same space to climate sceptics as climate change advocates. But the GWPF claims that only two of the outsiders were scientists. The rest, it says, were mainly environmentalists or “non-scientists with a vested interest in promoting renewable energy”. The three peers wrote: “So the BBC stands convicted not only of culpable imbalance but also of rank dishonesty.” (h/t Climate Realists)
