BBC Investigated After Global Warming Denier Claims Program ‘One-Sided’
October 6, 2008 · Print This Article
Television watchdogs are investigating the BBC after a ‘leading climate change skeptic’ claimed that his views were ‘deliberately misrepresented’ in a program about global warming. Lord Monckton, a former advisor to Margaret Thatcher, had been interviewed for the program by Dr. Iain Stewart, a geologist. Monckton is accusing the BBC of unfair editing and called the program “a one-sided polemic for the new religion of global warming”.
From Mail Online:
Earth: The Climate Wars, which was broadcast on BBC 2, was billed as a definitive guide to the history of global warming, including arguments for and against.
‘I very much hope Ofcom will do something about this,’ he said yesterday.
‘The BBC very gravely misrepresented me and several others, as well as the science behind our argument. It is a breach of its code of conduct.
‘I was interviewed for 90 minutes and all my views were backed up by sound scientific data, but this was all omitted. They made it sound as if these were just my personal views, as if I was some potty peer. It was caddish of them.’
Ofcom confirmed it was looking into a ‘fairness complaint’ about the documentary.
A BBC spokesman said: ‘We stand by the programme.’
This is the guy who played a key role in a legal challenge heard in the High Court in October 2007 in an attempt to prevent the film ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ from being shown in English schools. Sorry, global warming deniers: you deserve every bit of ridicule thrown your way. Especially this Lord Monckton – he’s such a nut, he calls for Mann, Bradley and Hughes (of the hockey stick graph) to be put on trial for genocide. Indeed.

Algore, Father Nature himself, admitted before Congress on 3/21/07 that CO2 levels were higher during the last Ice Age. If CO2 = warming, why was the last Ice Age, with so much higher levels, so much COOLER? Father Nature also talked about water vapor being the most prevalent greenhouse gas, and that’s the elephant in the room. If we’re really interested in bringing down this mythical global temperature, why are we ignoring water vapor? Is it because you can’t tax an ocean?
The idea that CO2 causes global warming is contradicted by weather balloons, satellites, atmospheric surveys, ice core samples, and historical temperature records – in short all scientific data. Even so, volcanoes produce more CO2 each year than all the factories, planes and SUVs combined. Shockingly, bacteria produce even more than this; far more than the humans they inhabit. We’re left with no reason to believe in global warming and every reason for hippies to finally take a bath.
