...but sadly, as always, the biased BBC

...or rather, "due to the unique way that the BBC is funded", we are being forced to pay (pro-rata) OVER TWO MILLION QUID just for this (yet to be seen) hour of propaganda

This is also why some BBC programmes lasting 60 minutes will show the "Climate Change bit" in the last ten minutes because most other countries will have 10 minutes of commercials in an hour time slot so can easily just cut it out.

It is about time that we saw a programme which dealt with global warming honestly.

Trouble is, the authorities would not like that!

I wouldn't be too concerned about AGW and its effect on climate, it doesn't change the fact that gas and oil resouces are finite at the ever increasing rate of consumption, due to the ever increasing population..we need to reduce carbon emissions and invest in other sources of energy production just to survive. Feeding everyone will be the major concern 100 years down the line, not the weather
