BBC and Climate Change

Lord Lawson has written an article in the Sunday Times which throws a very disturbing light on BBC bias. Lord Lawson thinks that the reason the BBC is unwilling to give airtime to those with a different point of view about the effects of global warming is because all three main political parties accept the global warming story and the consequences as portrayed by warmists like Professor Jones. As Lord Lawson surmises some might point out that as the three main parties are unanimous on the warming issue the BBC is under an obligation, in the public interest, to give adequate airtime to informed dissent.  What exactly Jones knows about climate change though is a mystery to me as he is a geneticist and I wonder why the BBC or anyone else for that matter gives him the airtime he gets or even listens to him. I wonder what Jones would say about a climatologist who decided to write a controversial paper on genetics and who stated that anyone who disagreed was a denier? In any event as noted in a previous blog Osborne has started what I trust will be a more reasonable approach to climate change that in short order will ensure the policies proposed by Huhne are set aside for the good of all our pockets and for the protection of our countryside against the devastation wind farms are causing. Once the new register of lobbyists is up and running it will be fascinating to learn who has been lobbying the likes of Huhne and other senior politicians about wind farms, photovoltaic panels and so on.
