BBC Executives Bought Off To Promote Global Warming Propaganda…

Here in America there’s no need to buy them off, they preach it like it’s gospel free of charge.

(Daily Mail) — Britain’s leading green activist research centre spent £15,000 on seminars for top BBC executives in an apparent bid to block climate change sceptics from the airwaves, a vast new cache of leaked ‘Climategate’ emails has revealed.

The emails — part of a trove of more than 5,200 messages that appear to have been stolen from computers at the University of East Anglia — shed light for the first time on an incestuous web of interlocking relationships between BBC journalists and the university’s scientists, which goes back more than a decade.

They show that University staff vetted BBC scripts, used their contacts at the Corporation to stop sceptics being interviewed and were consulted about how the broadcaster should alter its programme output.

Like the first ‘Climategate’ leaks two years ago, they were placed last week on a Russian server by an anonymous source.

Again like their predecessors, they have emerged just before a United Nations climate summit, which is to start this week in Durban.

BBC insiders say the close links between the Corporation and the UEA’s two climate science departments, the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) and the Tyndall Centre for Climate Research, have had a significant impact on its coverage.

‘Following their lead has meant the whole thrust and tone of BBC reporting has been that the science is settled, and that there is no need for debate,’ one journalist said. ‘If you disagree, you’re branded a loony.’

In 2007, the BBC issued a formal editorial policy document, stating that ‘the weight of evidence no longer justifies equal space being given to the opponents of the consensus’ — the view that the world faces catastrophe because of man-made carbon dioxide emissions.

    In the old old days the BBC would be on the side of the –”The earth is flat idiots.”

    You cannot hope to bribe or twist—
    Thank God!—the British journalist.
    But, seeing what the man will do
    Unbribed, there’s no occasion to.

    I’m sure if someone dug.. they would find similar evidence here in the US

    the media has been way too complicit

    politicians have been way too complicit

    Bob Menendez wrote me… “the science is settled”

    without offering any proof of such an outrageous statement

    For the past 2 and half months, the al Beeb weather propagandists have been telling everyone there is going to be snow, ice, frost, hurricanes etc. It has been very mild with blossoms coming out as if it were spring, and clear star-lit nights. The only reason they can get away with spewing this shite is because dumb voters pay for the license fee, which is actually a license on having a TV, in addition to paying the purchase cost of your TV!!

    i feel like my brain is going to melt.

    my kid just asked me to buy her a book. i had to tell her that she can’t just pop it into my amazon cart, i have to check out the author first to make sure it’s not some left-turd moonbat’s piece of drivel.

    everything has been corrupted by this insanity that is called “liberalism”
    i can’t enjoy science books anymore. I can’t enjoy history books anymore. i can’t watch TV anymore, if I DID watch sports, I wouldn’t be able to watch that anymore..

    They spent $23,000 to buy off the BBC? Bullshit. Either the Daily Wail left off a zero or two, or this is just the tip of the iceberg.

    UK has been on a downward slide since before WWII. Lucky for them Churchill was still around to rally them in their time of need. But then, they immediately booted him out of office in favor of a socialist after they were done with him.

    Good for you fubar. I wouldn’t want my kids if I had any exposed to moonbats albeit it gets harder by the day. Like roaches and rats they are everywhere.

    Two of the worlds greatest lies both supported by the media….barry and global warming. The obsession w/green crap and global warming is just mind boggling. It does feel kinda like your brain is melting! LOL!

    George Soros is behind this green shit. We will have to buy carbon credits from 3rd world countries.

    The left wants to spread the wealth not only in America but the world. We will be so screwed if that happens

    I lived in Britain for 4 years and people had to pay a TV tax to watch TV. That money went mostly to support the BBC. So…people were paying them so they can get brain-washed in left-wing propaganda. Nice set-up if your a lib, and no one complained. Imagine if people were forced to pay to listen to Rush or to watch Fox?

    Go to http://www.behindtheblack.com

    This guy knows what he is talking about when it comes to corrupt warming scientists. On the radio the other night, he talked about Proffesor Mann from Penn State. He is the guy that made the hockey stick graph an eventually was proven as a fraud.

    The most interesting part was that the whole issue was minimized and covered up. Y the very same Dean that protected that child molester Sandusky.

    It’s simple, the Left found a new revenue source, worth trillions, and a way to subsidize and promote their One World Global Economy as well as their ‘green industries’.
    While certain scientists found a source of monetary grants, power and relevency that has never before existed.

    Climate Change (Global Warming) was a perfect mechanism for furthering the Left’s agenda on a global scale. And they found extremely willing partners in cash strapped, corrupt scientists.

    Moreover, I guarantee you that the BBC will not change its tune, until the British people start refusing to pay the licensing fee. It’s the same thing here with PBS and NPR.

    Getting rich and famous through alarmism:

    Al Gore is well-known…. but note James Hansen.

    for decades he has been a senior, presumably well-paid, employee at NASA.

    In 2001 he was the recipient of a $250,000 Heinz Award.

    In 2007 Time magazine designated him a Hero of the Environment.

    That same year he pocketed one-third of a $1 million Dan David Prize.

    In 2008, the American Association for the Advancement of Science presented him with its Scientific Freedom and Responsibility Award.

    In 2010 he landed a $100,000 Sophie Prize.

    James Hansen pulled in a total of $1.2 million in 2010.

    Not bad for a government bureaucrat.

    The James Hansens living on the government dole as they preach their brand of religion should be fired en masse. I have lost all respect for Nasa between this and their muzz outreach.

    One doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to know when another is full of sh*t. All these BS’ers have to do is open their mouth!

    I’ve taken it upon myself to become educated by those who use proven factual knowledge, not fantasy.

    Old way = Money talks and BS walks.

    New way = BS talks and believe it or not, your money gets stolen.

    Not sure if I am remembering this correctly. But seems that much money in England for pensions was invested in green technology and for them to see the necessary return, they needed people to buy into it.

    Gang theology 101 – deception: concealment for personal or corporate gain, preservation or partisan advancement…To practice deceit or guile or circumvention, practice evasion or elusion, to plot, to excercise art or craft or cunning, act with policy, practice strategem…snare or trap or profane the unsuspecting or innocent…

    Giving worth to Al makr…the deceiver…The Qur’an openly states many times that Allah is the ‘best deceiver’. The root word used in these verses is Makr which means deception

    Economan said –just imagine if you had to pay to listen to Rush. I pay each year to belong to Rush’s 24/7 so I can use his extensive library of information and listen to him at my convienence. I work on a ranch all day and listen to him at nite after dinner. I also pay to have satelite (sp) internet as I live in the mtns, so I can enjoy Weasel Zippers.

    I pay to have access to and support what I like, not what other people tell me I should like. Which is why I hate the fact that I cannot exclude BET from my basic cable lineup and the fact that my taxes go toward PBS and NPR.
