The Greatr Climate Change Hijack

[Eric Mc]

One to watch out for perhaps - a documentary on BBC Radio 4 at 9.00 pm tonight.

Let me know after if it was worth listening to. I can't stand listening to those nutters babbling on.

If I remember correctly this is the programme where they say 'we really should stop trying to scare people with tipping points and doomsday scenarios and choose something else for our propaganada in the absence of any credible objective data'.

Or if not, it's about something else

What, on a BBC station? That doesn't make sense.

IF it said "we really should be worried and do more because we're all gonna melt" - THAT would be a BBC story..

The 'thinking' behind the possibility is that about 70% of the population aren't falling for it. New approach needed.

Missed it as I was watching telly. However, I'll catch up with it on the Listen Again service.

In actual fact, outside of the mainstream news coverage, the BBC's reporting on climate change is a lot more balanced than you might think. Radio programmes like "Questions, Questions", "Costing the Earth" and "Material World" often feature climate change sceptics - or at least people who are not gung-ho MMGW advocates.

'Home Planet' on Radio 4 has Professor Philip Stott as one of the panel. He is a regular contributor against MMGW

I meant to include "Home Planet" on my list. He is well worth listening too and he always gets up the noses of the more typical MMGW advocates that sometimes feature in the debates. I think they are taken aback that ANYONE could even raise a smidgen of doubt in their assertions.
