For a number of years, the BBC's coverage of climate change and related policy issues has been misinforming the public. It is often one-sided, misleading and sometimes even factually incorrect, with an absence of alternative views and inconvenient facts that might run counter to the BBC agenda.
The Beeb – funded by licence-fee payers – blames climate change for nearly every bit of bad weather that comes along. It has long been a fervent backer of Net Zero and other climate policies but rarely tells the public how much it is costing them and how little effect such policies will in fact have. Climate change has almost become a religion for it.
Hardly a week goes by without another example. Only last week it claimed that “the frequency of very intense hurricanes such as Melissa is increasing”, despite the fact that NOAA, the US Federal Agency for all things climate and the acknowledged leading authority on Atlantic hurricanes, says it is not.
So, in a week where the BBC is in the spotlight for its bias and spreading falsehoods in other areas, here are some examples of BBC climate misinformation from the last couple of years or so.
1. Tornadoes in the US are becoming more severe
The opposite is true. The official US data show a massive decline in the frequency of the strongest tornadoes since the 1970s.
2. Global warming spreading mosquito diseases
Experts, including the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, have long stated that it

This guy has a brain the size of a planet.
I hope you are submitting this as a formal complaint to the BBC. Sadly it seems to be just another example of the corporation asking only the people that it knows will say what they want it to.
Great work as always Paul. Like the guy in the background of this photo, you need a knighthood.
Does anyone know a good website which explains how to get programmes and what can be watched after cancelling the TV subscription?
Don’t know about a ‘website that explains’ but subscribing to channels that interest you on YouTube, is a start. Not just how to videos but all sorts of subjects and also old films, old TV dramas and documentaries.
Would recommend a YT subscription which cuts the ads.
Then there’s the streaming services like Netflix, Amazon, Disney etc. Plenty of non-woke stuff to be found including old stuff originally broadcast on TV. Subscription costs vary but you can pay monthly and cancel if it doesn’t suit
Obviously you can watch all this on your PC, laptop, tablet or phone but to replicate the TV experience a modern ‘smart’ TV is the way to go. Then you can access the internet and all the above services on your telly. You won’t look back.
I cancelled my BBC licence fee years ago and only watch either YT or streaming like Netflix etc. You will be amazed at how much is out there

The allegations need documenting, giving the medium (internet, radio, TV, and which channel), website links and program particulars (title, date, time).
I am so grateful for brilliant articles like this, thankyou. I want to print it out and send it to Alfie Moore. I went to see his “Acopalypse Now” show last week. He is an ex-policeman/comedian and I enjoyed his “It’s a Fair Cop” series. Not so his new stage show, unfortunately, as “climate change” features on more than one occasion. Alfie asks the audience early on if we are “concerned about climate change?”. “Yeeees” bleat the sheep, and hands go up. I groan and tutt. A night out ruined. I never learn.
It starts well. But by point 5 you’re not providing a link to back up your claims – consequently you look like a disinformationist yourself. On point 5, Portugal has given itself a problem, by plantationing euclyptus a.k.a. the ‘gasoline tree’. their famous traditional, cork oaks however are fire-proof. Weather variability and climate change are real things and should not be dismissed out of hand with no regard for nuance.
Weather variability is real and acts in the short term, climate change is also real but operates on very long cycles which are not affected by human activity. Weather is also hardly affected by humans except in very small and localised areas.
It does seem that every institution in the UK has been completely corrupted. I wonder if it has anything to do with the explosion in Quangos, DEI policies and infiltration into these bodies by Fabians. The remorseless decline since WWII appears to be an act of sabotage.
Undoubtedly right, the long march through the institutions has been going for a century or more. It’s all aimed at the destruction of capitalism and the reversal of the industrial revolution.
Defund the BBC. It has become too unreliable to justify special licence arrangements.
And not a peep out of Newsguard’s inquisitors and the rest of the fact-chucking industry about this litany of Convenient Untruth.
THE BRITISH BRAINWASHING CORPORATION.——If anyone is still in doubt about BBC leftist bias then just look at what was revealed yesterday, when they doctored a Trump speech in a manner that Joseph Goebbels would have applauded. They are a diabolical disgrace.
People who don’t understand the politics of climate change might wonder why climate bias is leftist bias. But by not understanding the politics involved they are leaving themselves open to be exploited by the UN Sustainable Development Agenda that thinks they have too much of everything, especially affordable energy, and they should make do with much LESS. This is happening all under the guise of a climate crisis for which no empirical evidence exists, and all of that has been championed by the Consolidated Media including the BBC
Meanwhile, our Curriculum is to be ”Decolonised’ and promote ‘Climate Emergency’. Whole generations are being indoctrinated with more of this apocalyptic, revisionist madness.
That is because the scam is all encompassing. All institutions have been captured, and with Blackrock and the other Asset Managers now controlling who can get funding and loans based on their alignment with Environmental and Social Governance (ESG) dogma that no one voted for, very few companies or institutions will disagree or question the climate orthodoxy, not because they agree or don’t want to question it, but because they know what will happen if they do.
Has BBC Verify confirmed these 25 items – we need the truth if they can’t could Jacinda “one source of truth” Adern please comment
At least I’m not paying for it.
Great work. If only the public could be made even more aware of the blatant BBC lies. Sadly too many people think the BBC is a respectable channel. How wrong they are.
Even after yesterday’s Goebbels episode where they doctored Trumps speech to make him look like he incited riots, lots of people still won’t believe it. Because as Goebbels pointed out “The bigger the lie, the more people believe it”.
BBC Verify equals Ministry of Truth.
