BBC censors Harrabin
Roger Harrabin is one of the less ideological reporters for the BBC and he sometimes mentions things that call global warming into question. But that does not suit the British Bias Corporation of course. In this article, Harrabin mentioned recent global cooling. But when someone senior to him saw it, they were obviously not happy. The article was changed after it initially appeared.
I have a PDF of the article produced shortly after it was posted. I also have a PDF of what was up last time I checked. Let us compare the 3rd/4th sentences in each. In V1, they say:
‘This would mean global temperatures have not risen since 1998, prompting some to question climate change theory. But experts say we are still clearly in a long-term warming trend – and they forecast a new record high temperature within five years.’
In V2 they say:
‘But this year’s temperature would still be way above the average – and we would soon exceed the record year of 1998 because of global warming induced by greenhouse gases.’
How low the BBC has sunk from the grand old days of Lord Reith when it could be relied on as a source of objective and unbiased information! The Left corrupt anything they get their hands on. As Orwell pointed out, they think that truth is what they declare it to be.

There are those in England who have been accusing the BBC of violating its charter for over 6 years now, and I have yet to see anything come of it. Now, I don’t need a supercomputer to extrapolate such non-action into the future to find out when the liars their will be reined in. I’m confident that unless some dramatic unforeseen events occur (which aren’t predictable at all but whose likelyhood seems very low), it might be never.
My guess is they either sent in Sandy “Bugalar†or Hillary “remove the files†Clinton in order to alter the story; what do you think?
BBC Caught Editing Story To Appease Global Warming Lobbyist
The BBC has sensationally been caught red-handed editing a news story about global warming in order to appease a rhetorical e mail sent by an environmental activist, while it has also emerged that BBC writers are aware of the growing suspicions about apparent attempts to censor skeptics of man-made global warming.

Gee… who would have believed that Harrabin would cave in to pressure from soap dodging loony environmental activist Jo Abbess? She’s one of the Moonbat’s (Monbiot) cronies.
It is pathetic. Harrabin has to resign. The entire story is on You Tube.
