I see the BBC leads the news this morning with Gordon Brown’s wild claims that we face climate catastrophe in the UK if he and his fellow AGW alarmists do not reach “agreement” at the Copenhagen in December. I also read Richard Black’s ringing defence of BBC neutrality on this issue here. I then listened to Roger Harrabin’s sympathetic item on the issue of the Chinese approach to “tackling climate change.” This is a big ticket agenda item for the BBC and as the Copenhagen summit approaches, I think it reasonable that the BBC should give as much prominence to those who cast doubt on the eco-alarmism as those, such as renowned climate scientist Gordon Brown, who shill for it.
END OF THE WORLD UPDATE…

“50 Day To Save The World” Is there no task too big for this man to tackle? Not content with rescuing the world’s banking system he’s now moving on to saving the actual World! What a hero.
Depends who is casting doubt, and what evidence they have
OK, let’s start with Professor Richard Lindzen, Alfred P Sloan Chair of Meteorology at MIT.
Then there’s Professor John Cristy, former Chief Weather Scientist at NASA, now professor of Climate Science at the University of Alabama, who has won an American Meteorological Society medal for “developing a global, precise record of earth’s temperature from operational polar-orbiting satellites, fundamentally advancing our ability to monitor climate”.
Or what Dr Eigil Friis-Christensen, Director, Danish National Space Center and Adjunct Professor, University of Copenhagen? Or Professor Syun-Ichi Akasofu – Professor and Director, International Arctic Research Center?
A very small sample of many eminent climate scientists who do not agree with “the science” being “in”.
So it depends whos casting doubt? What about those that are not? Like Al Gore, Gordon Brown, Hillary Benn, David Cameron, Nick Clegg, Harrabin et al.
All great scientists.
Notice the now dicredited Mann hockeystick graph as one of the pictures associated with Black’s piece. No caption and no comment that the graph is now of no relevance to the debate.
Gordon forgot to mention the plagues of locusts and slaughter of the first-born.

“Depends who is casting doubt, and what evidence they have”
As Jack Regan – the well known TV 70’s enviromentalist would say – fag in mouth, non bio-degradable styrofoam cup in hand, foot down on fully leaded gas pedal…
“Shut it!”
how droll
I hear four horsemen have been spotted flying over Downing Street…
“Roger Harrabin’s sympathetic item on the issue of the Chinese approach to “tackling climate change” – Didn’t hear that, but yesterday Milliband minor was on awful R5, the “interviewer” was in a tremendous rush to get the boy to give China a gold star for saving the planet, with Obama’a US still the bete noire.
“Flash, Flash, I love you… but we only have 50 days to save the Earth.”
Not Flash, just Gordon.
Is there no end to this idiot’s delusions? As Jim Royle would say, “Save the world my arse!”
Send for the men in white coats.
This half-blind asshole has saved the world so many times, he makes Superman look like a pantywaist. Damn.
