Wonderful letter here from a genuine expert on the science of sea-level changes to the president of the Maldives saying that – despite his publicity stunt in which the cabinet met underwater – his fascist little fiefdom is not going to sink between the waves. What do the BBC do? Report the president’s demands for more money to deal with the impending (non) disaster:
Mohamed Nasheed said there was so little money offered to vulnerable nations that it was like arriving at an earthquake with a dustpan and brush.
Not a peep that he’s completely, utterly wrong.
Yet more disgraceful reporting (lack of) from the comrades.
“Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner is the head of the Paleogeophysics and Geodynamics department at Stockholm University in Sweden. He is past president (1999-2003) of the INQUA Commission on Sea Level Changes and Coastal Evolution, and leader of the Maldives Sea Level Project. Dr. Mörner has been studying the sea level and its effects on coastal areas for some 35 years.”

Not worth interviewing really. What does he know about sea levels that a politician doesn’t?
The Maldives scam is such an easily debunkable fraud that its surprising that the MSM have not run a story on it, less surprising that the BBC are studiously ignoring the facts about the Maldives though.
The BBC has run dozens of junk reports about the Maldives based on made up junk science never once questioning the actual validity of the trash they eagerly peddled.
The tinpot dictator was bought off with promises of money, all it took was promises of aid cash to stuff his and his cronies Swiss bank accounts with Western buyoff cash and the little Napoleon would have sold his granny to the pet food factory.
What have the Maldivians ever done for us?
Ha-Ha 😀
Oh dear – Muslim President….3rd World Country….Global Warming. You’ve got the perfect storm there for an eco-fascists wet dream. No wonder the BBC were gushing.
Let’s face it – the truth hasn’t got a chance with all those factors in play.
The BBC article you’ve linked to is dated November 9th. Mörner’s letter in the Spec is from December 3rd.
Don’t let the facts get in the way of the bias-hunting, eh!
Huh??? Don’t let an inability to comprehend get in the way of BBC-obeisance.
“Then we went to the Maldives. I traced a drop in sea level in the 1970s, and the fishermen told me, “Yes, you are correct, because we remember”—things in their sailing routes have changed, things in their harbor have changed. I worked in the lagoon, I drilled in the sea, I drilled in lakes, I looked at the shore morphology—so many different environments. Always the same thing: In about 1970, the sea fell about 20 cm, for reasons involving probably evaporation or something. Not a change in volume or something like that—it was a rapid thing. The new level, which has been stable, has not changed in the last 35 years. You can trace it so very, very carefully. No rise at all is the answer there.”
Dr. Nils-Axel Mörner was interviewed by Associate Editor Gregory Murphy on June 6. The interview here is abridged; a full version appeared in Executive Intelligence Review, June 22, 2007.

Its nothing new – the study has been going on for years. But you are quite right poochie. The BBC wasn’t to know.
No, and nor were you likely to know that Mörner’s study was actually discredited and his results were found to be “implausible” and “without any real evidence”.
Nor are you likely to address the true issue: that you’ve taken a story from a month ago and tried to frame it like Mörner’s argument was concurrent with the story being released. Like the BBC have ignored current breaking news, and not just another energy company sponsored whackjob who believes in the weirdest and stupidest things he can’t prove.
But never mind – he can detect water with a stick and cash a cheque from ExxonMobil, so he’s bound to be right on sea levels, right?
Stick to the bias hunting. As long as you don’t smell anyone’s shit except the BBC’s.
