Must not mock Warmism

The BBC has apologised for airing a half-hour radio show earlier this year in which a series of high-profile climate sceptics lined up to disparage the science behind global warming.

What’s the point of the Met Office, aired in August, did not make clear sceptics are a “minority voice, out of step with scientific consensus,” the corporation said in an email to climate scientist Andy Smedley.

“This was an unfortunate lapse for which we apologise and we would like to assure you we remain committed to covering all aspects of the subject in the most accurate and responsible way possible.”

Presented by Daily Mail columnist Quentin Letts, the show featured Peter Lilley MP, Graham Stringer MP, forecaster Piers Corbyn and Andy Silvester from the TaxPayers’ Alliance.

All had previously questioned the veracity of climate science. They took the opportunity to mock the Met Office over its weather forecasting and climate modelling work.

In reply, the show featured a brief clip of Met Office head of communications Helen Chivers, which did not address the show’s critique of recent climate research.

The BBC said it had carried out an internal review and emphasised that the programme emerged from “an unusual combination of circumstances which we have now rectified”.

People must not question the religion of the Climate Change faithful.
Climate change is real. It has been going on for millions of years.
It is not likely that human activity is having an effect.
Climate changes very slowly over a very long time and people will adapt as they always have.

Oh heavens! We accidentally allowed both sides of a discussion to be heard! We apologize and will never make that mistake again. We are, after all, a liberal organization and must not violate liberal principles.

The hubris of the left that they can significantly change the earth's climate shows how little they know of natural systems. Humankind's effect on climate change is almost statistically insignificant even by the "warmist's" figures.
