Letters / BBC not trustworthy
A leaked draft of the IPCC’s latest report AR5 admits that the global warming we experienced between 1979 and 1996 can be explained by a mixture of solar radiance and the effect on cloud formation of changes in solar radiation.
It may well have had nothing to do with CO2, which is in any case a desirable gas since it improves crop growth. There has, of course, been no warming since 1996.
Meanwhile the BBC are still censoring any mention of them being caught lying about the “28 leading scientists” almost all of whom were activists with no connection to science, whom they used to justify their blatant breaking of their legal duty of “balance” in promoting the “catastrophic warming” fraud and their censorship of dissidents.
Perhaps we will see the BBC apologise for their propagandising soon, at least before they start promoting the next false eco-scare.
Over the last 60 years we have had literally hundreds of eco-doom scare stories promoted by them, which has seen trillions of £s spent by state functionaries. Not one of them has proven to be true.
When our MSPs are considering their “Levenson with a kilt” perhaps they will remember that the free press, for all its faults, has proven considerably more trustworthy than the state owned broadcaster.
