It would appear that the BBC seem to want to cover up almost everything they do.
The latest is about a climate change seminar that was held to discuss reporting Anthropogenic Global warming (AGW) as it was called back then in 2006.
One interested blogger, by the name of Tony Newbery, who runs the Harmless Sky blog, happened to read a BBC report called From Seesaw to Wagon Wheel. What he found on page 40 was this:
The BBC has held a high-level seminar with some of the best scientific experts, and has come to the view that the weight of evidence no longer justifies equal space being given to the opponents of the consensus [on anthropogenic climate change].
So Tony decided to put in a request under the FOIA to find out who attended the seminar.
However he ran into a stone wall as the BBC fought tooth and nail to stop him from finding out who had attended the seminar. eventually he lost at the tribunal stage.
But this is not the end of the story.
Another Blogger Maurizio Morabito had spent countless hours searching the Internet Wayback machine and found the list. This list is now published on his blog.
There are some interesting participants who have a stake in promoting AGW:
I’m not sure why this man is there.
Jon Plowman, Head of Comedy
Maybe he was there to entertain over lunch or something.
As far as I can see there is only one true sceptic on the list. The majority have a stake in AGW promotion.
