Damning Report Into BBC’s “Shoddy” Climate and Net Zero Reporting

A damning indictment of BBC climate reporting alleging 20 years of endemic bias and the production of fake news, has been presented to the Government’s mid-term Charter review of the Corporation. Published by the Net Zero Watch and written by the long-time BBC observer Paul Homewood, it suggests that all the factual errors detailed in its submission “could easily have been avoided with a bit of basic research”. Citizen journalist Homewood doesn’t pull any punches: “This is journalism at its shoddy worst.”

It is argued that the “rot” set in after a seminar in 2006 – a meeting the BBC fought for many years to keep secret – shaped climate coverage. The seminar was attended by many green activists such as Greenpeace. “Since then, it has been the norm for BBC reports on climate change and energy policy to exclude or marginalise anybody who does not agree with the consensus view, while giving undue prominence to extreme green activist groups such as Greenpeace and WWF,” writes Homewood.

This excellent document leaves out the Jones report of 2011 commissioned by the BBC trustees which praised the BBC for its science reporting and ruled that in future the BBC need not report non-mainstream opinions

On so many matter what really endangers our world is the failure to allow open debate and this is enshrined in BBC policy.

I tried to highlight very similar things almost a decade ago. Needless to say, Prof Julia Slingo never replied to my little “article”:

I’ve just completed a two-day course on mental health in children and one of the things that came up is the number of young people who are seriously affected by climate propaganda. They have been lead to believe there is no hope and that our generation has basically assured their annihilation. So this climate junk isn’t just false and likely to lead to unnecessary and unwanted social changes, it’s downright harmful to children’s health – like so much else that’s happened in recent years. The BBC must be challenged from this angle as well as in journalistic grounds. They have the gall to feature regular handwringing articles about the decline in children’s mental health and it’s them in many cases who have caused the harm! How I detest the BBC.

Perhaps it’s the modern equivalent of items I grew up with, broadcast by those institutions, namely, the cold war, and the Vietnam war.

Yes… It’s a timeless aspect of most people in power. Divide and conquer, I mean. They’ll find anything to ignite people’s worst sides, and turn people against one another, and people fall for it, time and again.

Unmarried, childless females of childbearing age were obviously a terrible threat, weren’t they? BURN THE WITCH!

Chris Morisson is a very welcome addition to the DS team. Paul Homewood’s site – “Notalotofpeopleknowthat” is highly recommended.

Paul Homewood deserves a knighthood for his long term challenges to “settled science”, as well as our own Toby Young. Contrarians of the world disunited.
