Lindy Burns

When will the ABC rein in its global warming catastrophists? On 774 ABC Melbourne this afternoon we have presenter Lindy Burns talking about the warming catastrophe that “chills my heart” and leaves her wondering “whether we have any hope at all”. She keeps crossing to an exhibition on the alleged sea level rises that she claims threatens Tuvalu with global warming doom, interviewing professional alarmists like Rob Gell. And, of course, she interviews at wailing length the ever-flighty Marian Wilkinson on her trip to the Arctic Circle to see global warming with her “own eyes” - as if melting ice in one part of the world proves man is heating the whole planet to hell. Both despair at the fate of the polar bear, and the planet.

Entirely missing from the interviews are the following facts:

• The world has not warmed since 1998, and has cooled since 2002.
• Thousands of scientists now doubt global warming theory, especially since the warming it predicted in mid-troposphere has not occured.
• Polar bears have increased in number over the past 40 years, and are only now labelled “endangered” for propaganda purposes.
• Total sea ice has increased over the past few years, and sea ice coverage in the Southern Hemisphere has been above average.
• Sea levels over the past couple of years have fallen, and tidal measurements at Tuvalu show no dangerous rise at all.
• Arctic ice this year is much greater than last year.

Why aren’t these facts included, so listeners can make up their own minds? Why did Burns fail to interview a single dissenter from her warming faith, or ask a single sceptical question?This is not reporting but propagandising, and listeners would have been profoundly misled.

Those responsible have betrayed the ABC’s charter and failed their duty to their audience. Mark Scott, where are you?
