Title: BBC climate reporting
Post by: Nickbat on 19 September 2012, 22:49:03
We're all doomed, I tell ya.

"Arctic sea ice has reached its minimum extent for the year, setting a record for the lowest summer cover since satellite data collection began."

Oh no! When did satellite data collection start? Around 30 years ago. However, that's enough for the Beeboids to start wandering around with their 'End of The World is Nigh' sandwich boards.

Shukman: "...the prospect of change on a planetary scale looms closer: the Arctic ice cap, a permanent feature at the roof of the world throughout human history, becoming a seasonal, temporary one instead, and sooner rather than later."

OK. That's one Pole, then, but what about the other?

"Antarctic sea ice set another record this past week, with the MOST amount of ice ever recorded on day 256 of the calendar year..."

No mention of that on the Beeb...or any other mainstream media outlet for that matter.

Why so, I wonder?

Doesn't fit the Eco green tree hugger terrorist, left-wing agenda.

I'm waiting for them to all them to join a popular religion that also wants to revert to the 15th century.  ::) ::) ::) ::)

Give them the Heebie Jeebies, by asking the question on why the Antarctica was a warm inhabitable area 2m years ago when their was naturally four times the CO2 in the atmosphere that there is now.  :o :o :o :o

That should get them hugging a few trees in despair.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

its not just the CO2, one of the worst is the chlorofluorocarbons that end up in the stratosphere, where they are broken down by UV radiation and then releas free chlorine atoms which cause significant ozone depletion, unfortunatly these atoms have a long life and will continue to cause probs for a few decades to come. (even though their use is now significantly lower than 50 - 70 years ago

The last I heard was it's all mended & there's nothing to worry about. They have to give us something to worry about, that's why at the moment it's global warming. It'll be something else in a few years time (something they can tax the hell out us with) >:( >:(
