Mishal Husain called the Israeli ‘Wall’ a ‘security barrier’ [08:35] and accused Palestinians of killing Israeli civilians….men, women and children…..shocked outrage from the Palestinian being interviewed. Maybe if the BBC had adopted such a more two-sided and balanced approach in all its reporting about Israel the peace might have been given more of a chance as the Palestinians weren’t given licence to attack the Israeli ‘oppressors’…so long so labelled by the BBC.
Anyway…new open thread, I’m sure the BBC hasn’t turned over a new leaf on every subject….if not list it all here…..

OOOOoooooer ! definite tension on the set of the Pledge (sorry not Beeb). Terse exchange of words that were clearly not scripted between Afur Hirsch and Carole Malone. Carole clearly got the hump and barely spoke for the rest of the programme – her other colleagues resorted to saying “and what do you think Carole?” Its on several times during the week, so worth a view. Although there is one very mouthy male Muslim who likes the sound of his own voice.
That must be Madgit. He is to the Islamic State what Albert Speer was to Hitlerite German. He styles himself as a “secular, liberal muslim”. Seems like an oxymoron. Spends alot of time on LBC justifying his jihadist past as a reaction to racist attacks on him during his youth. Yet again we are told that we are all getting the collective punishment we deserve for our “islamophobia” in the form of Muslim terrorism.
The Media is running Parliament – Time to “drain the swamp”. Our nation needs a Common Sense party now more than ever.

Incredibly rich 15 year old kid living in England who has already been to 32 countries and 7 continents to follow her passion of bird watching, is incredibly proud of her Muslim identity and went on social media to only persuade other Muslims to join her passion, not white non-Muslim kids, is very angry to be receive Islamophobic abuse which she blames on Brexit and Trump. The BBC call this endemic racism in Britain. I suspect either her parents or the BBC have created this story. Race has nothing to religion and why was she only interested in attracting other people of Muslim identity to share in her passion?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-bristol-41863725/teen-muslim-birdwatcher-racially-abused-by-online-twitchers
The name of the girl is Mya-Rose Craig and the BBC seem to have run a number of stories on her for the past four years. It wouldn’t surprise me if her parents work / have worked for the BBC and are involved in wildlife photography / journalism. They are based near to Bristol which is where the BBC have their natural history unit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadcasting_House,_Bristol) and aged 15 she has already been to 7 continents and 32 countries. The family don’t seem to be a Muslim family (they are certainly not a practising Muslim family) nor does she seem to be particularly ethnic. She is at least half white (father seems to be English). The above story is very strange. The net result of the above story is to create a lot of mud slinging at the “racist English”. I assume the girl must have been radicalised to believe she is Muslim (presumably mothers heritage) and that Muslims are a victimised species.

Story running in the Mail On the reluctance of the unbiased BBC to investigate Chris Evans antics . I cant believe for a moment that they are being selective in this latest bout of hysterical witch hunting. I am beginning to form the impression that they will only pursue an allegation if it involves a Tory or anyone they don’t approve of. Perhaps its just my imagination…
Surely if the Beeb are playing by the rules of this latest game he should be suspended immediately. I am of course forgetting they seem to making up the rules for everyone else to abide by but themselves.
Seems Dustin Hoffman, a favourite guest of the BBC, is also immune from their comment and investigation.

I wonder what other freedoms have or will be withdrawn from Sheffield with such a merry band in power?
Just a glimpse of things to come. We can all see that the writing is on the wall, but the BBC can’t even make out the wall. A bad case of muslim-induced myopia.
I’m sure Aung San Suu Kyi and others will lament the loss of their Freedom of the City of Sheffield privileges, especially the right to drive herds of sheep across the bridges of the river Don.
The best Freedom of the City of Sheffield is the freedom to leave. That kind of Honour is more of a booby prize. Sheffield has become an immigrant shit hole. Despite all the attempts at improving the city centre with brash new buildings (usually belonging to Sheffield University which now seems to own more of Sheffield than the Duke of Norfolk) the council cannot remove the patina of decay and decline.
Lose an award or lose your country. Tough choice!
I wish we had a leader like Aung San Suu Kyi. What have we done to deserve Theresa May?

An indication of the apparent success of the left, and its unity with radical Islam, is the fact that the brother of one of the Manchester victims turned up with socialists, trades unionists and antifa to drown out the speeches made at Robinson’s book launch
From Dave Cameron’s UAF FB Page
Unite Against Fascism
12 hrs ·
Around 400 far right followers attended Tommy Robinson s back of a lorry, book ‘launch’ tonight, in Manchester. High but not the numbers he wished for. Hat’s off to Dan Hett, who lost his brother in the Manchester Arena terror attack. Dan made the brave decision to be at the counter protest.
His speech was brilliant and warmly received by around 150 anti-fascists.
#Manchester UAF, trades unionists, MPS and others drowned out much of the hate speech. Robinson did not get the 1000 he got in the city in June. However he and his Islamophobia need opposing. Tonight’s strong United front approach showed how we can undermine the far right.
Remember I dug up an old tweet if Dan Hett’s where he wished Katie Hopkins dead. So he was with hate not hope before his brother was killed. He’s not a sudden convert.
StewGreen
So this gentleman wished Katie Hopkins dead eh? How very Islamic of him.
Strangely enough, apparently Katie has recently had her own brush with the Grim Reaper by way of a brain tumor. Even with some of the old grey matter removed she can still debate with the best of ’em and win hands down. What a gal!

Our Big Bearded fellow citizens must be laughing their heads off at the kuffar goings on in the House of Horniness or the Dar-es-Shag as they style it. This is what happens when you ignore Allah and the teachings of Islam and let your womenfolk leave the home without being chaperoned by a trusted male relative. No burkha not even a niqab.
I’m even beginning to see the logic of doing something gruesomely Sharia to both parties involved in sexual impropriety. It would permanently remove hyperpriapic politicians and their overly ambitious female acolytes from public life.

Had a lie-in this morning listening to BBC R4.
Douglas Murray was on Today to talk about contemporary sexual mores / etiquette. It would have been interesting to hear what he had to say, but Sarah Montague hardly let him finish a sentence.
Saturday Live feted Reggie Yeats. Black, speaks with a glo’al stop, does a lot of work for the BBC, has done documentaries about the Far Right (he says he feels sorry for nationalists). Rev Richard Coles and Reggie spent some time talking about – I am not making this up – what part of Islington they had grown up in!
I don’t have anything against Reggie Yeats – good luck to him – but is he really interesting enough to command top billing at 9am on a Saturday?
Plug, plug, plug. Agenda, agenda, agenda.
“Sarah Montague hardly let him finish a sentence”
Not unusual, she always wants her opinions to take precedence over facts.
Some years ago, I had a client who would listen very carefully to every question, statement etc and instead of answering straight off, he sometimes kept the other person waiting several seconds before replying! This always unerved me to start with, but, after realising how he worked we eventually did a lot of business together, so that was fine. (Negotiations sometimes took a long time though…)!
But lots of other dribbling autocue readers could all be unnerved by this simple tactic! Just let their drivel hang in the air for all to see and hear, then drop the bombshell answer. They’re not generally good at asking questions, except AN of course!
JRM is very good at this, and is clever enough to bring in a quip or two while he is formulating his answer. Jeffrey Archer, (when he was famous), was even noisier, yelling, ‘Please let me finish, you’ve asked me etc, etc etc and I want to give you an answer’!
But why decent people are intimidated by the questioner’s conduct beats me!

Strictly ticket fiasco
From a letter in Yorkshire Post
– You apply for a ticket online, get one
– but having a ticket doesn’t get you in. Instead you have to turn up 9am at the location to get your ticket validated, cos they deliberately over allocate tickets.
– People don’t find out about that rule until they’ve applied online, so they don’t bother to turn up, cos can’t be bothered with the hassle of losing a whole day.
– Meanwhile other fans turn up to queue from way before 9am, to be sure of getting in.
The bBC rewite history and remake the man who by himself destroyed the British car industry as a ‘Hero’ and a victim:
Red Robbo: The man behind 523 car factory strikes
Film-maker Ken Loach, who made a documentary about Mr Robinson, said his story encapsulated a “critical moment” in the battle between Thatcherism and the power of the unions. The director believes Mr Robinson was “betrayed” by a union leadership with whom he had a thorny relationship.
Christopher Lunt worked at Longbridge until MG Rover – the successor company to British Leyland – went into administration in 2005.
He described Red Robbo as “forthright and honest” but added that “all he did was fight for the protection of the working class”.
Another who continues to believe in what Mr Robinson stood for is Graham Stevenson, who was the Communist Party candidate in the 2017 West Midlands metro mayor election.
He hopes his friend will be remembered as “one of those stalwarts in the post-war era that maintained a better life for ordinary people”, not as an “agitator” or “destroyer” which he said was “a complete invention”.
For Mr Stevenson, the dismissal of Red Robbo was “the first shot in the war that Thatcher began against working people and their families”. “He wasn’t at all like what the media portrayed him as in the 1970s,” he said. “He was a very competent man… in private life he was very kind and very caring.”
As for his Red Robbo nickname, Mr Robinson told MPs in 2000 he regarded it as a badge of honour. “I can sleep sound at night because I never betrayed the workers I was elected to represent,” he said.
Now imagine if you are a young child, adult and have never heard of Red Robbo.
Any member of the working class stupid enough to follow Red Robbo would eventually find themselves a member of the non-working class.
In the 1970s British Leyland had many good car designs, which were let down by poor workmanship and shoddy build quality. No wonder people preferred a Datsun which actually worked, unlike the cars produced by Red Robbo and his Communist fellow travellers.
The man behind 523 car factory strikes…..“one of those stalwarts in the post-war era that maintained a better life for ordinary people”, not as an “agitator” or “destroyer” which he said was “a complete invention”.
And I always thought the BBC was useless at satire.
Orwellian Education : Toby Young’s Forbidden opinion
Toby Young was asked to write piece a contrary view against another speaker for Teach First. So in it he asserted that intelligence is largely genetic.
But after publishing it they declared his view wrongspeak.
Interesting comments below that TeachFirst tweet
\\ Rather than expunging ‘wrong think’, how about allowing it to be aired, then critiquing it? Freedom of speech and all that.//
\\I’m no Toby fan. In fact, he’s blocked me. But commissioning two views as part of a debate and then censoring one of them is ridiculous.//
David Paxton @DavidDPaxton Oct 28
It’s not a free speech situation. It’s an acting like adults situation.
So according to David Paxton who sounds like the sort who would throw his toys out of the pram if you aired the ‘wrong’ opinion in his presence, you’re not an adult if you believe some children are naturally more intelligent than others so your views should be erased.
Welcome to 21st century Britain.
Everything faded into mist. The past was erased. The erasure was forgotten. The lie became the truth.

Lib mob shouting Orwell as us
Outside BBC Broadcasting House next week, the first public statue will be erected to George Orwell,
Ben MacIntyre constructs a ridiculous piece saying its BBC that represents truth and Orwell was earning us about the dangers of Russian tweets and Trump.
Another Times article claims Russian accounts tweeted on Brexit.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/orwell-s-prophecy-of-our-fake-news-world-ss3lq7vhb
Not the only ones grasping at a Dolchstosslegende to explain away Brexit defeat.
— A veteran Labour MP has demanded that the government open a judge-led inquiry into the possibility that Russia interfered in the EU referendum last year.
Ben Bradshaw, who was culture secretary in Gordon Brown’s Labour government and campaigned to remain in Europe, said there is mounting evidence that Vladimir Putin’s regime has “actively and deliberately” attempted to subvert democratic votes around the world.
He urged the UK government to treat the issue as seriously as the US, where former FBI director Robert Mueller is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 elections and whether President Donald Trump’s campaign colluded with the Kremlin.
Speaking to Business Insider, Bradshaw said:
“We need the government to wake up to this. All we have had, up to this point, is stonewalling and obfuscation. There now needs to be a full government investigation into all aspects of [Russian] subversion.
“It should include concerns about the hybrid social media warfare, including paid-for Facebook adverts and fake Twitter accounts used as bots, as well as an investigation into impermissible donations.”
Last week, Bradshaw said specific attention should be paid to the “dark money” used to fund the Leave.EU campaign. Leave.EU and other anti-EU ventures were financed to the tune of £9 million ($11 million) by UKIP donor Arron Banks. Leave.EU did not immediately respond to BI’s request for comment.
Bradshaw said any government investigation should be led by an independent judge, who must have the power to subpoena documents. The Labour MP for Exeter added that he and other MPs plan to actively lobby the government to open the inquiry over the coming months.
How the hell can anybody take this crap seriously. Remoaners, you lost so just get over it.
I loved David Starkey’s comment about Ben Bradshaw, when they appeared on a QT panel together and the Boyish Ben was the Cunture Secretary at the time.
“In France, they take culture seriously; in Britain: we’ve got Ben!”
I remember Bradshaw, was the s**t bag Liebore MP during PMQs who set up a question for Camoron, about how Nigel Farage’s surname should be pronounced; that allowed Dave to deliver a nasty little stab at Nige to the evident delight of the pair of them.

Wise words, (as always), from Is the BBC Biased?
“That would be a bit boring though so I think I’ll go with ‘a drivel of Twitterers’.”
Almost entire article
\\ Cries of ‘BBC Tory bias!’ have (as ever) been busily ‘drivelling’ around Twitter in recent days, many variations on the same question (though the number of Tory MPs cited is often slightly different).
Oddly when I clicked on the BBC News website yesterday morning it was leading with Fallon denies ‘lewd remarks’ allegation and this morning it’s leading with Tory MP Charlie Elphicke suspended. Both are Tories.//
Benyam Kenbata claimed that a pot plant position amounted to racial segregation
He didn’t win on that, but did on grounds that council caused racial harassment cos the discussion about his complaint should have been in private.
End of report tells us
“He should still pay £10,000 towards Council’s £60K cost cos be acted unreasonably in other claims”
Is that a case of the Pot calling the worker…white. The only good news from the above is he had to pay £10,000 in court costs.
“And for every case like this of imaginary hurt feelings, there will be a hundred employers thinking twice about employing an ethnic minority. Well done Mr. Kenbata.”
He should still pay £10,000 towards Council’s £60K cost cos be acted unreasonably in other claims.
Sounds like he spends most of his working day dreaming up spurious claims. However, because of his skin colour he’s unsackable because of the prohibitive employment tribunal costs the council would be faced with.
Click, that was me just turning off the Spencer Kelly presented BBC techonology show called… Click
This millennial generation orientated programme is supposed to deal in science but is increasingly tainted with a left-obsessed agenda.
The very first words of the show are an invitation for its audience to buy into faith-based superstitious beliefs:
“If you think the weather is getting weird – you’re right, it is….”
No scientific proof will accompany our Spencer’s declaration. It is in effect a call out to those who already adhere to a faith in the failing global warming scam that our Spencer is a friend and you will enjoy the show made by sound supporters of this dopey notion like yourself. Me, I clicked off.
So the bBC reports on the surprise resignation of the Lebanese PM:
Lebanese PM Hariri resigns, saying he fears assassination plot
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri has resigned, saying in a televised broadcast he feared for his life, while also fiercely criticising Iran. Mr Hariri’s father, former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri, was assassinated in 2005.
So who does he feel is targeting him? as the bBC doesn’t mention. Could it be the same people who murdered his father in 2005. Why if so that was Hezb-allah with the hand of Syria and Iran up their arse , that conclusion comes from a UN report on the murder of Hariri senior. Funny enough in :
France
Germany
lndia
US
Middle East
They are made aware of just who is to blame. Which funny enough comes hours after Hariri junior was forced by the President (A Hezb-allah supporter) to appoint a ambassador to Syria, (The first since the cedar revolution) the same PM who stated the other day that in the next war between Israel and Lebanon, Israel would lose and hours after Iran stated it vows to protect Lebanon’s stability and yet the bBC doesn’t even touch on any of those salient facts.
The bBC reporting the news as told to by its Islamic masters
Ah the bBC have updated their Lebanese PM resigns article and they blame…..Saudi Arabia:
Saudi influence at play?
Mr Hariri’s resignation has come as a big surprise, plunging Lebanon’s often turbulent political scene into new uncertainty. He has had a complicated political career, moving to and fro between Lebanon and Saudi Arabia – his family’s key backer. His resignation follows recent visits to the Saudis, raising speculation that their influence is likely to be at play. Certainly, his ferocious denunciation of Iran and Hezbollah, which his own militia once battled unsuccessfully on the streets of Beirut, is in line with Saudi policy.
The Iranians have spent a lot of time and effort in cultivating their presence in the Uk: Corbyn, The bBC, The NUS, kind of explains why the Mad Mullahs get such an easy time despite being one of the most odious regimes in the world, (The US executes less than 21 a year and it is evil, Iran does between 500 to 1000 a year and it gets a pat on the back) the rise in Anti-Semitism and the polarization of Saudi Arabia
“He went on saying that “Lebanon’s victory over terrorism is a victory for us all,” noting that Israel and the United States are behind the terrorists.”
‘……his ferocious denunciation of Iran and Hezbollah..’
The BBC make him sound so unreasonable.
Boo Hoo Boo Hoo
How I cry for those MP’s who have been accused of sexual abuse. Truth is, I don’t care about any of them.
Remember these are the incompetents who have done nothing about stopping this country from going to the dogs. These are the very people who have not supported free speech, promoted Islam in our communities, voted Remain, allowed our universities to taken over by Arabs and Lefties, ALLOWED THE BBC TO FLOURISH UNDER A LEFT WING ANTI BRITISH AGENDA, supported a feminist society making our men wimps, I hope they suffer, I have no sympathy – THEY REAP WHAT THEY SOW.
The BBC is a major political player and the politicians of the Right have been weak and pathetic in it’s opposition to it.
They deserve all the abuse they get. Whether guilty or not.
Can I suggest someone accuses Karen Bradley of being a drug taking sado masochist abuser of young socialist men? Get rid of the incompetent Tory traitor.
The other day Harriet Harman came out with a fitting 99 jews in an ashtray joke and she has got away with it. The fact that Edwina Curry was on the program ais by the by. Can you imagine the outcry if she had made a Paki joke?

Sexual harassment claims are ‘no witch hunt’, says Harman
Funny how the bBC has no problem using an expense dodging anti-Semite who championed infant sex to promote their political agenda.

Muslim sex abuse gangs – reported by the DM : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5047075/Sex-gang-groomed-girls-jailed-33-years.html
Reported by the BBC – hidden under the Tyne & Wear section : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-41858552
BBC News 24 reported on the so called report “confirming” man made global warming compiled by thirteen American government climate groups. Who should the Beeb have on to give their “expert” opinion? Someone well known to these pages, climate alarmist Richard Black, who was introduced as the CEO of a body called The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit. The interview was obviously scripted, with the questions designed to elicit the ‘correct’ answers. It gave Black the opportunity to ridicule and sneer at Donald Trump and his administration, and AGW sceptics in particular, and pull faces and roll his eyes to emphasise his contempt for them. The BBC interviewer never once mentioned Black had previously worked for them, when he was the most fanatical and fervent AGW alarmist. A little research reveals that the group he fronts gets a lot of its financing from a shadowy group called the European Climate Foundation, which was set up to channel millions of pounds, much from progressive foundations in America, to British and European green lobby outfits. The most significant source for the ECF’s millions is an organisation called Climate Works. This is a private foundation which channels colossal sums of money to climate campaigners worldwide. There are other front organisations funding Black and his group, so I wouldn’t be surprised to find Soros behind the ex-Beeboid’s activities. Strange how the BBC presented this charlatan as an independent and impartial voice. Every time the BBC interviews so called independent experts, I make it a point to research their background and nearly every time they come from some form of advocacy group or special interest organisation. But, hey, what’s journalistic integrity when you have a narrative to push.
I DO expect the Guardian Twitter feed to show them campaigning on their pet issues.
But the impartial BBC should NOT be campaigning.
You’ve got to laugh, just finished listening to Pick Of The Pops on Radio 2, inexplicably they edited out the word ‘bitch’ from ‘The Devil Went Down to Georgia’ (Charlie Daniels Band). Do Snowflakes and the professionally offended really get hurt by such a word?
Somewhat double standards going on here, a lot of the rap crap Radio 1 and 1xtra plays for our youngsters has far worse swear words, not to mention Dizzy Rascal at 7.30 last night on that abysmal new music show on BBC1 – the BBC really are a load of motherfuckers…

The liberals keep telling to me to “Think of the Children” when it comes to migrants inside France. Here’s a fine example of one such vulnerable child:
That must be the “chimp train”.
Jeremy Vine and Robert Peston … two peas from the same pod, if ever there were. Vine (£700,000-£749,999) had Peston as a guest on his show yesterday. I was not disappointed to find it was the “I hate Trump/Brexit more than you” willy-waggling love-in I expected. Added to that, Peston has had a book published this week, don’t you know.
The interesting part of this mutual back-slapping for me occurred after the segment featuring Peston was over. Vine posted a video to his own personal Facebook page showing the two of them eulogising over each others’ recently-published books. The video was recorded and posted while R2 listeners were hearing music. You can see the video here: https://www.facebook.com/thejeremyvine/videos/2073580579528483/
While I accept that BBC staff will update their personal social media accounts during BBC paid-employ time if it relates to their BBC work, this one is a surely non-BBC post that acts as a promotion of non-BBC merchandise for personal financial gain.
Where I work similar behavior would be classed as “doing a foreigner” and subject to disciplinary action and likely dismissal. But then I live in The Real World…!
If ever proof were needed what a complete and utter dead loss Vine here it is.
My second favourite MP after JRM is Diane Abbot. She is the embodyment of everything which is bad about politics, parliament and al Beeb. Today she has said you should be able to vote at 16 if you can fight and die for your country at that age – the only problem being you need to be 18.
I love her attention to detail
Mastery of her brief
Her command of numbers
Her command of facts
Her use of race as a weapon
Her gender as a weapon
Her sense of being a victim
Her hypocracy . ………………..the Westminster bubble creatures fixate on their own issues and leave the rest of us to pay their wages, expenses and pensions as well as their policy failures like Overseas Aid and immigration policy .
I blame al Beeb for complicity in this as they give creatures like Diane air time as some sort of representative of her race/gender/outlook when in fact she is merely self serving.
Hypocrisy
Thanks for the correction Stew – I’m guilty of smelling and grandma sins on this site as my views come faster than me tie pin.
Fedup2
I read your post about four times before I got it. Is it lawful to smell your Grandma? Did you used to write Ronnie Barker’s sketches? They were very amusing.
Thank you Lefty ,
Sadly I cannot claim the honour of penning those sketches . The nearest I come is to buy quite a few candles – as many as four at a time ….

Bloody nitpickin’ aggen. Ain’t yoo got nuffink bedder ter do?
On Farming Today, BBC Radio 4 on Friday 3rd November 2017 we had a professor from Imperial College London (15 million Euros received in eu grants this year) and somebody from the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (works for the eu distributing £millions of Horizon 2020 funding).
Of course they were against Brexit and wasted no time in telling us of all the problems we would encounter.
It was like listening to a private dinner party of the faithful.
Apart from the bias from the BBC (also receives eu money), it was sad. It was sad to hear people with such a narrow viewpoint confirming each other’s narrow viewpoint.

Kenneth,
I hope they declared their self interest – one day it will be required to counter false news – like MPs standing up and saying “ I’m a sex pest” in a debate about legalising gay marriage nonsense – gender thus that and the other.
BBC 1 News: Helium balloons could be hurting the atmosphere and a field which says SUE.
A truly world-class news service.
Beeb Bro
Sorry. “A field which says SUE”? Have you been listening to Stanley Unwin again or am I missing something?

Fromthe BBC, quoting NYT
‘The White House has sought to downplay a major climate change report, which was compiled by 13 US federal agencies.
The study is at odds with assertions from President Donald Trump and several members of his administration.
It says it is “extremely likely” human activity is the “dominant cause” of global warming.’

This report is a bit economical with the truth. See this piece in the WSJ, which rebuffs the Report. There is a paywall, so I have copied the article in full. It is an important counter to the BBC line.

A Deceptive New Report on Climate Change
True, the U.S. has had more heat waves in recent years—but no more than a century ago.
By
Steven E. Koonin
The world’s response to climate changing under natural and human influences is best founded upon a complete portrayal of the science. The U.S. government’s Climate Science Special Report, to be released Friday, does not provide that foundation. Instead, it reinforces alarm with incomplete information and highlights the need for more-rigorous review of climate assessments.
A team of some 30 authors chartered by the U.S. Global Change Research Program began work in spring 2016 on the report, “designed to be an authoritative assessment of the science of climate change.” An early draft was released for public comment in January and reviewed by the National Academies this spring. I, together with thousands of other scientists, had the opportunity to scrutinize and discuss the final draft when it was publicized in August by the New York Times. While much is right in the report, it is misleading in more than a few important places.
One notable example of alarm-raising is the description of sea-level rise, one of the greatest climate concerns. The report ominously notes that while global sea level rose an average 0.05 inch a year during most of the 20th century, it has risen at about twice that rate since 1993. But it fails to mention that the rate fluctuated by comparable amounts several times during the 20th century. The same research papers the report cites show that recent rates are statistically indistinguishable from peak rates earlier in the 20th century, when human influences on the climate were much smaller. The report thus misleads by omission.
This isn’t the only example of highlighting a recent trend but failing to place it in complete historical context. The report’s executive summary declares that U.S. heat waves have become more common since the mid-1960s, although acknowledging the 1930s Dust Bowl as the peak period for extreme heat. Yet buried deep in the report is a figure showing that heat waves are no more frequent today than in 1900. This artifice also appeared in the government’s 2014 National Climate Assessment, which emphasized a post-1980 increase in hurricane power without discussing the longer-term record. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recently stated that it has been unable to detect any human impact on hurricanes.
Such data misrepresentations violate basic scientific norms. In his celebrated 1974 “Cargo Cult” lecture, the late Richard Feynman admonished scientists to discuss objectively all the relevant evidence, even that which does not support the narrative. That’s the difference between science and advocacy.
These deficiencies in the new climate report are typical of many others that set the report’s tone. Consider the different perception that results from “sea level is rising no more rapidly than it did in 1940” instead of “sea level rise has accelerated in recent decades,” or from “heat waves are no more common now than they were in 1900” versus “heat waves have become more frequent since 1960.” Both statements in each pair are true, but each alone fails to tell the full story.
Several actions are warranted. First, the report should be amended to describe the history of sea-level rise, heat waves and other trends fully and accurately. Second, the government should convene a “Red/Blue” adversarial review to stress-test the entire report, as I urged in April. Critics argue such an exercise would be superfluous given the conventional review processes, and others have questioned even the minimal time and expense that would be involved. But the report’s deficiencies demonstrate why such a review is necessary.
Finally, the institutions involved in the report should figure out how and why such shortcomings survived multiple rounds of review. How, for example, did the National Academies’ review committee conclude that the chapter on sea level rise “accurately reflects the current scientific literature on this topic”? The Academies building prominently displays Einstein’s dictum “one must not conceal any part of what one has recognized to be true.”

An excellent article that no real scientist could disagree with – thanks for copying it on here GWF. Unsurprisingly, these and similar views on the US Govt. report will be ignored by the BBC which will stay true to its own fake i.e. selective, news tradition.
Unfortunately ‘climate science’ has been hijacked by a ruthless bunch of hard left environmental zealots and ‘one world’ authoritarians who have shaped their ideology into a plan for the 21st century – the UN Agenda 21.
With the backing of most of the world’s media they are looking depressingly unstoppable – if real world evidence and the likes of Climategate and 28gate can’t wake people up to their fakery then nothing will. Even a rapidly advancing new glacial period wouldn’t do it as they would still twist the ‘science’ to blame it on man-made emissions, as they were originally doing in the 70s:

We’re stuffed.
