The BBC’s green activist-in-residence Justin Rowlatt has had two complaints upheld against him, following the broadcast last November of his absurd "Wild Weather" Panorama programme.
Over half a million fewer people died in England and Wales over the last 20 years due to a small rise in temperatures, according to the ONS. But for some reason the media didn't report this good news.
Whisper it quietly, but Arctic ice is making a comeback. The coverage is now very close to the 1991-2020 average, well above a 2012 low point and higher than 2020. No sign of an alarmist catastrophe here.
A (well-paid) senior EU official says the continent must accept that the two necessities of life – food and fuel – have been far too cheap for a generation and to save the planet we must all pay more.
The Government's Chief Scientific Adviser Sir Patrick Vallance has said Brits should fly less and eat less meat as part of the "behaviour change" required to achieve Net Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050.
It's been discovered that the Met Office global surface temperature record from 1975 was boosted over 14% at the end of 2020. At the same time, the period between 1880-1975 was cooled, increasing the apparent warming.
