There are lots of scientific careers riding upon global warming, plus it's an excuse for the Government to tax us more.

There is money it in basically.

So are you seriously saying you're not convinced by the unified voice of thousands of scientists?!



















Nah, me neither!

Anyone who saw this the other night wouldn't be under any illusions about it. Don't be fooled by the title - 90% of the program was dedicated to how the 'naughty little skeptics' are ruining the global warming message for everyone else. The rest was just filler to make it less obvious it was nothing but a propaganda piece.

Very disappointing for a supposedly objective science program

Too much money for something as small as the truth to be of concern

Global warming is happening and quickly too, models predict that in 6 months time the temperature of the northern hemisphere will have risen by over 20 degrees compared to what it is today. At the same time, severe climate change will occur in the southern hemisphere where temperatures will have fallen by the same amount in the same period. Have the BBC reported this?

i think we have all seen the BBC being biased by not reporting any questions about global warming and making out that Al Gores Film was so accurate despite even the courts agreeing that it had a number of factual errors and biased in its presentation of the subject

I am convinced that we are in a period of global warming. There is enough real evidence to tell us it is happening. However, there is no real evidence to tell us it is mad made. Earth has never stayed consistently at the same temperature. It cycles between warmer and colder. Now it cycling towards warmer after a 'mini ice age.' Anyone who claims to 'prove it is man made' is only in it for the cash

Exactly

Sir Paul Nurse should have his "sir-ship" and "nobel-ship" revoked, as well as his "i-am-a-scientist-ship".

He brings shame on the Royal Society by his blind acceptance of "facts" from people like "Mr NASA" and his "the model looks exactly like the observed" without questioning whether "the model" was generated 5 years, 5 weeks or 5 days before "reality". Oh, and "Mr NASA" stated how global temperatures have been rising for the last 50 years - despite the fact that satellite data has only been available for 30 years!!

BBC biased propaganda is bad enough, but to pollute what was such a fine institution such as Horizon is disgusting

If temperatures rose by 20C in 6 months it would likely lead to mass extinction (fortunately there's no evidence it'll happen!).

I'll go back to something I've said before, there is NO way you can calculate a global "average" temperature and, if you did get a number, who says if it's larger or smaller or the same as that global "average" over history????

And it's funny, as has been said above, that the "solution" to GW is to tax people .... Hmmmm.. Let me think about that .....

Dave

Same point, different words. 10000 years ago we had glaciers in the UK. Now we don't, so it must be warmer. All those ******* driving Range Rovers 10000 years ago must have caused it........

In 6 months time it will be the height of summer, and therefore 20C warmer?

Last night there was a programme about the land bridge between UK & Europe flooding,
This only happened about 10,000 years ago,which is a very short time in geological terms.
As far as I know there where very few people & cars around at the time.

Does anyone "really" think ITV/ITN, Sky, CH4, et al, as well as the rag papers (as linked above) are not propaganda machines?

ITN are really annoying at the moment: Cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts, cuts,

anyhoo:

There’d be whispers about them. They might even get a black mark at the annual appraisal with their line manager. Sometimes, they might even be *promoted to a position in which they could do less harm......

....From the beginning I was unhappy at how one-sided the BBC’s coverage of the issue was,
So, if he really is a man of integrity, and knowing he "can" get away with stuff. Why did he not make an off-the-cuff remark on air after spouting such rubbish. For example after a climate report saying " If you belive that then you are a fool", then quiclky move on to the next report. It would have been TV gold . But no, he kept quite and decides to "sell" it as memoirs instead. He's no better that the rest of them in the news sector.

The BBC are as biased as they come. The guy who runs their pension fund is also on the board of a 'sustainable energy' company. Which could explain why 100's of millions of the BBC's pension fund is tied up in renewable energy companies and Carbon Bonds. If the renewable's market fails - which it is the beeb can't pay it's pension needs.

A few years ago the BBC trust held a meeting with 'top Global Warming advisors' and decided after that - Due to the over wealming evidence for manmade global warming the BBC no longer needs to provide a balanced view on this matter. And that is in the BBC charter!

I think there could be a link between those two things.

Even freedom of information requests to the BBC asking for the details of was at this meeting with and who were the 'top global warming advisors' have yeilded nothing. The BBC have failed to answer them.
Roger Harrabin their 'environmental' correspondant did a university degree in english and simply repeats whatever he is told. Journalism doesn't come into the global warmong debate.

Fair point. Thought you meant 20C above the average for the time of year etc.

Anyway, with one bound he was free!

If the consequences of policy doesn't suit then it's very easy to construct a conspiracy theory, and or buy into other people's constructions.

This is the problem with this whole debate, you wont open your minds because that would mean allowing all the facts in, not just the ones that support your own self interest.

If somebody....ANYBODY would just present, without predjustice both sides of the argument, maybe, just maybe we could have a proper debate on this issue.

Government can't manage the economy, why should we believe they can manage the climate.

It's huge over-reach of state power.

There have been 15 ice ages in the last 2 million years, all caused by a combination of factors from orbital eccentricity (100,000 year cycle), axial precession (22,000 year cycle), orbital plane tilt (41,000 cycle) and solar activity. They have happened many times before, they will happen again, and we even know roughly when, and that man is foof all to do with them.
