Bumper crop of stories of BBC climate bias
Net Zero Watch has just published its annual review of the state of the BBC’s climate reporting. The author, climate and energy writer Paul Homewood, has had plenty of material to choose from, and his paper outlines more than 30 of the most egregious misrepresentations of the facts, with climate change spuriously blamed for everything from hot weather in Spain, sighting of rare bird species in England, to potholes in the roads.
Paul Homewood said:
The BBC produces so many ludicrous climate stories, the only difficulty is deciding what to leave out of the report.
Net Zero Watch director Andrew Montford said:
If the BBC wants to reverse the ongoing decline in its audience share, and the decline in its reputation as a reliable news source, it is going to have to start taking climate and energy seriously. Employing correspondents who are fanatical environmentalists, and then giving them a free hand, leads to coverage that is superficial at best and misleading at worst. Paul Homewood’s report shows just how bad things have become.
