The Progressive Presentations
“I don’t advance or bolster someone I so adamantly disagree with.” That was my response to a grandson, as he had turned the channel to a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) nature documentary, when he asked, “You don’t like David Attenborough?” I further explained, I detest his lies relating to climate change, so I have no appetite for enhancing or elevating his, or BBC’s viewer ratings. It’s simply a matter of principle – it’s also why I will not watch movies with Leonardo DiCaprio or Jane Fonda. My grandson, as respectful as always, clicked to another channel.
It was a Leonardo DiCaprio movie guest starring Jane Fonda – just kidding.
Chris Morrison is a journalist and author with The Daily Skeptic. The firm is a British news blog that debunks ‘the Science’ behind corrupted policies and improbable matters. One can clearly see how truthful the blog site is and how dangerous it is to progressive politicians when Wikipedia describes it as publishing, “misinformation about COVID-19 vaccines and climate change denial.” In the linked article “More Climate Fiction from the BBC” Morrison writes about the continuing fantasy being disseminated by the taxpayer-funded television network.
The most obvious issue to distort is weather statics and the BBC, like Burger King, sells whoppers. In the subject article, the BBC has the following guests on the climate change issue:
Professor Peter Frankopan an instructor at Oxford University on British history;
Dame Jane Elizabeth Francis, Chancellor of the University of Leeds and Director of the British Antarctic Survey; and,
Jessie Greengrass is an author who has written a fiction climate apocalypse book called “The High House”.
While Francis has an undergraduate degree in Geology, there is not much climate expertise on this guest list. Note: the designation “Dame” is the knighted feminine form of the British honorific title “Sir”.
Frankopan said that we were living “through an ongoing mass extinction.” This of course has been proven as a mathematical error of cherry-picking data. Francis’ main contention was the removal of CO2 which she related to ice cores in the Antarctic. However, as shown by the graphic Vostock Ice Cores, it may well be as explained in the article, that temperatures follow CO2 and not vice versa. No one really knows for sure – unless progressive politics or ideology makes that specific determination.
Greengrass talks about the rise of ocean levels and her concern with the island nations in the Pacific. I have written about these islands extensively, many of which have actually increased in size.
While many in the partisan legacy media like CNN, MSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times, and the major free television networks need to be somewhat concerned about aggravating or displeasing an advertiser, public broadcasting like BBC can make up lost revenues through taxpayer funding and government-enforced subscriptions.
This allows the BBC, as well as The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in Canada, The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in Australia, and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) in the United States to sell all manner of progressive ideology and they do so with absolutely no shame.
