It is right that the World Service has full editorial, managerial and operational independence from the government. However isn't it time the BBC accepted that there is scepticism around the science of climate change and start reflecting this in its programming? With output like this funded by British taxpayers, the BBC needs to demonstrate it is a true public service broadcaster rather than a promoter of one viewpoint over another.
Yes, they should have some space for critics but the overwhelming scientific evidence is on the side of manmade climate change; the BBC's output reflects this.
ReplyDeleteVias34450; well the pile of self-reviewed grant-chasing ClimateGate-exposed publicity-seeking scaremongering alarmist stuff is certainly "overwhelming", that's true. But the BBC constantly stifle and undermine voices which don't agree with their editorial stance.
ReplyDeleteIf the Warmists would accept legitimate debate and scientists weren't too afraid of losing grants and tenure to speak up then you'd see that the situation isn't as neatly gift-wrapped as the BBC (and others) would have us imagine.
