The BBC formally bans climate skeptics
Anthony Watts / 1 day ago September 27, 2018   

The BBC has told staff they no longer need to invite climate-change skeptics on to its program.

 

It instructs staff:

    “Be aware of ‘false balance’: as climate change is accepted as happening, you do not need a ‘denier’ to balance the debate.”

    “There may be occasions to hear from a denier” but only “with appropriate challenge from a knowledgeable interviewer”.

BBC journalists “need to be aware of the guest’s viewpoint and how to challenge it effectively.”
