Flacks for alarmists: press bias about global warming Print E-mail

Meanwhile, in the real (meaning empirical) world, the dangerous warming hypothesis fails the most elementary of tests. Witness the fact, for example, that global average temperature has flat-lined since 1998 against a 4 per cent increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide over that period.

Has this ever been reported by the BBC or our ABC? No. Why not, Mr Horrocks and Mr Dalton?

Public broadcasters' coverage of the global warming issue indicates their staff do not understand the difference between sound empirical science and the virtual realities of speculative computer modelling. This in turn reflects that none of their news and current affairs personnel are both adequately trained in science and have the ability and self-confidence to critically assess the climate change issue independently.

As Lingle has observed: "creating group-think and mass behaviour should be anathema to honest journalists" – a principal betrayed every day with respect to the global warming issue by the staff of public broadcasters such as the ABC, SBS and BBC.

Which raises the question, why have Australia's established investigative journalists chosen to hide deep in their burrows over the global warming issue?  Source
