It's A Climategate Christmas + BBC has 'denier' viewpoints heard

M4GWFTW! My favourite has to be their adaptation of Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire. Just genius. Unfortunately this isn't a real album, just an advert... :(



Do I Really Have Something Nice To Say About Pravda UK?

A few days ago I commented that the BBC really allowed little room for meaningful climate debate on their Radio 5 broadcast discussing 'climate change' recently. Although it's a couple of days late, I thought I'd pass a more favourable comment over their Thursday programming (pun intended), during which AGW 'denier' James Delingpole was actually allowed to speak for, I don't know, several seconds.

Unfortunately, the hefty bias as always was there - the interviewer interrupted any attempt by callers to say there is a lack of evidence of manmade climate change happening - with a nice condescending "I think there's plenty of people who would disagree with you about that". Of course no mention of the 31000 strong scientists' petition 'denying' manmade climate change when addressing AGW believers. If it's not cliche to say this, Goebbels would be proud.

Still, it's better that Mr Delingpole and other 'skeptical' laypersons* were allowed to speak, and I think they did a good job presenting a short case against the ludicrous global 'climate deal', i.e. making the Earth's life cycle subject to taxation.

*no scientists or experts of any kind were featured, to my knowledge, during the discussion, either pro or anti manmade global warming theory. Propaganda was instead featured heavily, notably including the ridiculous 'you're with the oil companies' ad hominem.
