Bishop Hill Redwood on the BBC
Dec 1, 2012 BBC Climate: other John Redwood MP is mightily annoyed at the BBC's coverage of climate change and the EU.
They just cannot leave it alone. Yesterday morning on Radio 4 the early religious slot was taken by Alison Twaddle. She did an uncritical advert for global warming theory, with of course no balance or questions allowed. She told us that the latest US great storm was the kind of event you could expect to be more frequent in an age of high CO2 output, and asked us to thank God for the climate change scientists who have revealed this truth. The link to religion was tenuous and attenuated.
As readers here know, the BBC is operating to an agenda formulated by environmentalists and their lobbists. Redwood says he is going to write to Chris Patten about it. I think he'd be better getting Parliament to take a look at what is going on within the rotten corporation.

I did think the Beeb was showing some signs of being a bit more even handed, but then the Energy Bill was published. Who did the Beeb get to comment (noting I heard 3 different items on this, all with third party interviews)?
Not on any of the three occasions a serious engineer who understands electricity grids and the capacity required, who could evaluate whether the proposals were sensible from a technical perspective, but a member of the Green Alliance and a representative of a wind turbine manufacturer (can't remember exactly who the third one was, but it was someone with similarly green credentials).
