Has the BBC suddenly realised that they've backed the wrong horse?
A short video follows where the question is asked: Why should climate change be more important than combating terrorism?
Family Motto: Spero meliora. (Loosely translated as, "I hope for better things") And if you don't like bad language, then bugger off. Beware. Cookies maybe lurking on this site. I usually post several times a day about differing subjects. Do scroll down
That is, COP21 of the IPCC (Intergovernmental committee on Climate Change).
For the last two days in their early morning BBC news they have snuck in references to climate change.
Yesterday they had a report by David Shuckman on waste at landfill and he just had to bring in the phrase “greenhouse gases” . the fact that the article was about drones monitoring was just the back story.
Today there was a brief story about the Queen going to Malta for a meeting. The words “climate change” were just dropped in for no real reason.
What will be the story tommorrow? You tell me.
Global mean surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s, but there has been little further warming over the most recent 10 to 15 years to 2013. This has prompted speculation that human induced global warming is no longer happening, or at least will be much smaller than predicted.They do waffle on to try an excuse this anomaly, such as the heat has suddenly been swallowed by the deep oceans. Why that should happen as any fule knows that warm water usually rises to the surface.
