Toby Young – The Daily Sceptic June 2, 2023
Paul Homewood has written a cracking piece in TCW: Defending Freedom about why the BBC’s multi-million pound new fact-checking unit should start by investigating the deluge of misinformation about the ‘climate emergency’ pumped out by the… BBC.
THE BBC has set up a new ‘disinformation unit’, BBC Verify. Marianna Spring, the BBC’s Disinformation Correspondent, says she is currently studying “the U.K.’s conspiracy theory movement” which she claims has “evolved and intensified” since the Chinese coronavirus outbreak. Spring identified “alternative media” as a source of so-called conspiracy theories.
“I’m looking at the way alternative media is funded, I’m looking at its impact on local communities, I’m looking at its connections with far-right figures and also its foreign links,” she said.
The millennial journalist’s reference to ‘far right’ rather gives the game away. Evidently disinformation from the left wing or globalists is OK then! And what she means by far right is not neo-Nazi, but ordinary conservative, Christian views, once regarded as mainstream and still held by most of the British public.
The whole thing is laughable anyway, because the BBC itself is one of the biggest sources of disinformation, certainly where climate change is concerned. So I suggest BBC Verify begin by looking into the BBC’s own coverage.
Here a few examples of the factual errors, omission of relevant information and sheer bias which have featured in BBC climate reporting just in the last year or so:
- The BBC reported that the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season was “the third most active on record”. It was not; there have been 32 years with a higher count.
- The BBC claimed last summer that “hurricanes are among the most violent storms on Earth and there’s evidence they’re getting more powerful”. But according to the hurricane experts at the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, there has been no increase in the frequency or intensity of Atlantic hurricanes since the late 1800s.
- A claim that “punishing weather conditions linked to climate change have eroded so much of the coast at Happisburgh, Norfolk”. The BBC have been unable to provide evidence for this, and the British Geological Society say that the coastline has been eroding at the same rate as now for the past 5,000 years.
- In October 2021, the BBC claimed that heat pumps are much cheaper to run than gas boilers. The opposite is the case, as the BBC eventually admitted.
- In October 2022, the BBC reported that the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard had warmed by 4°C in the last 50 years. They failed to report that temperatures there plunged by almost as much between 1950 and 1970.
- The BBC reported at the time of last summer’s Pakistan floods that one third of the country had been submerged. The real figure, as evidenced by NASA satellites, was less than 10%.
- Last year Sri Lanka experienced a catastrophic collapse in farming output, following a ban on imported fertiliser, which was designed purely to reduce GHG emissions. The BBC has been extremely reluctant to publicise the real reason, instead first blaming the food shortages on Putin, and then claiming that the ban was an attempt to “protect dwindling foreign currency reserves”.
- A classic example of BBC deception appeared in a recent report on solar power, when it published a graph showing solar power now accounted for more than 10% of the world’s generating capacity. They omitted the fact that, because solar power is so intermittent, it only accounts for 3% of the world’s actual electricity.
- The BBC often regurgitates propaganda from official bodies without any attempt to challenge or fact check. Last year they uncritically reported the World Meteorological Organisation’s claims that “extreme weather events are the new normal”. There is no evidence that extreme weather is getting worse, something which even the IPCC has been forced to admit.
- According to the BBC, a sighting of European bee-eaters in England last year was “a worrying sign of how our climate is changing”. British bird books are full of details of past sightings as far back as the 18th Century.
- One particularly silly study found willing support from the BBC last year, claiming that British trees are at risk from “drier weather under climate change”, even though the country has been getting wetter!
- In July 2022, the BBC reported that England had its driest start to the year since 1976. In fact it had only been the driest since 2010.
- It was very hot in Delhi last May. The BBC was quick to blame it on climate change, with claims of a new record high temperature in Delhi. In fact, none of the long-running weather stations showed a record, with data at the Indian Meteorological Dept’s base station in Delhi proving that it was more than a degree hotter in May 1944.
- It was dry in February this year, but the BBC’s claims of water shortages were simply not credible. So they included in their report a photo of a near-empty reservoir, which was quickly proved to have been taken two summers previously.
- The BBC was eager to report that the U.K. heatwave last July had killed more than 3,000 people. However, the Office for National Statistics analysis, on which the BBC’s claims were based, actually said no such thing. It also pointed out that excess deaths had been running at high levels throughout the spring, summer and autumn of last year.
- The BBC’s green bias is on display all the time, exemplified by its choice of interviewees and experts. In March 2022, Radio 4 broadcast a half-hour programme considering whether Shell should develop the massive Cambo oil field off the Shetland Islands. All three interviewees were ardent lobbyists for renewable energy, so unsurprisingly they argued against Cambo, something for which the BBC was forced to apologise for.
- Only two weeks ago, the wretched BBC claimed that the recent tragic floods in Italy were due to climate change, even though such floods have been only too common in the past.
Worth reading in full.
No ‘theory’ required. Most of the stupid theories put out on social media are from the deep state. Once these are out, they kmow a given number will run with them. Russell Brand is one of the more well known peddlers. He’s never been sanctioned by YouTube, to my knowledge. Even if some are sanctioned, it’s probably part of the sheeple belief experience.
Marianna Spring, and I am sure she’s on here all the time. She acts like a booster. She actually promotes the very same theories peddled by the deep state. She’d run a mile from my Covid thesis, because it can’t be discredited. Hey, Marianna, I suppose the 30 to 40k of sheeple who died from unexplained causes during the first 3/4 months of 2018, that’s just another theory?
There’s a contributor on this site who’s been interviewed by the fake news TV. He gets the interviews, because he’s flawed, and I don’t mean that disrespectfully, but the presstitutes know they can take them apart, and this is further supported by the very short questioning style, loved by the BBC, because it provides the short precise answers the presstitute wants, and I even heard a BBC presstitute say live the other day, ‘That question was too long’. I don’t watch TV, but you hear things.
I was talking to the wife of a BBC News wheelie, and she said to me ‘Some are trying to change the system’, I laughed, I really couldn’t help myself, and here we are, many years later, and things have got even worse.
See the Breakfast TV shite, well, it’s like that all over the fake news media. I was actually interviewed by a BBC Newsnight producer. He was doing a presstitute segment on crime. I didn’t play ball, he had an agenda, and nothing else was going to stop it. And I only agreed because a friend asked me.
A Ministry of Troof is meant to be a government body not a media one.
“I’m looking at the way alternative media is funded, I’m looking at its impact on local communities, I’m looking at its connections with far-right figures and also its foreign links,”
There is no point complaining to the BBC Newscorps about its own bias, I have been through its own procedure of complaint twice and they simply deny everything, but with Word Salad, because Leftists are as incapable of Talking Straight as they are of Thinking Straight, and to Leftists their agenda is a matter Life or Death to them , whereas to normal sane, healthy people, only Life or Death is a matter of Life or Death –
As if on cue –
‘Every year countries pledge to cut their greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to curb the impacts of climate change.
But still global temperatures keep rising.
Just last month, scientists announced that average global temperatures would likely pass the 1.5C threshold for the first time in the next five years. As temperatures rise the world will see more devastating heatwaves, wildfires and floods.’

I think I will submit another Complaint of Bias, utilising some of the relevant data presented here.
This is because I like wasting my time on futile projects –

The BBC – the British Bullshitters Corporation – lies. If you see anyone on BBC they are lying on everything all of the time. Over at East Anglia, the IPCC is another group of liars, scientists paid to lie. If you work in any position in the British government, the media, or the stink tanks, or a government funded NGO you must lie, and you wouldn’t take the job unless you are willing to lie.
What the fatty paycheck, then tow the line, “tough titty said the kitty but the milk tastes good”. Every BBC reporter has an upscale flat and a nice car. Well rewarded for their whoring. The climate hoax is pounded into the mass mind daily. I believe the BBC whore gets paid extra every time they say “climate change”.
In every BBC broadcast the repeat the phrase “climate change”. Ka ching.
Even the skeptic scientists are under the media spell. People are herd animals, very few have the moral fiber or personal integrity to challenge the narrative of their age – nearly everyone goes along to get along no matter how wrong it is. Global Warming is utter bullshit – but even scientists have subcomed to the narrative.
Scientists are not immune to peer pressure, media barrage, or social pressure. A good example is Anthony Watts who runs ‘watts up with that’ website – he caved to the global warming narrative – he simply could not have his skeptic website up and live if he took the position that CO2 was causing no warming. So he said it caused some warming.
(I have been an avid reader of his site and watched his transition in real time – as I was actively blogging on the global warming hoax – and all of my blogs on that topic, across the internet were taken down by TPTB.)
And you can NOT trust a single data file from NASA on temperature – they have been busted by those in the know – like Tony Heller who runs Real Climate Science website:
https://realclimatescience.com/alterations-to-the-us-temperature-record/
NASA has been busted on Mars rover missions: the official NASA JPEG image shows an arctic lemming;
https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=lemming+on+mars&iax=images&ia=images&pn=1
NASA of course is a government agency and MUST tow the line or the director would get replaced or funding cut. So they lie out of monetary necessity – which means everything they produce, like current temperatures or CO2 levels is 100% suspect. You simply can not believe a word they say.
Bottom line? We could go into another little ice age and they will tell us the oceans are boiling. They will post data proving it is warming while you freeze your ass off. They will make laws against saying it’s cold. They will torture, kill, ruin, harass, defund, defrock, poison anyone who dares question the narrative, and in fact that is exactly what they are doing already.
Polar bears are thriving but what does the BBC say? They are hanging on to the last bit of ice and near extinction. The best one of all, they stampeded the walrus over the cliff with the film crew on the beach below – and the bleeding heart woman is saying they are dying from climate change!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q5EniSwHvo
That scene is the “money shot” and it is staged – and they got the idea from that Walt Disney film “White Wilderness” where they staged the lemmings jumping off the cliff:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMZlr5Gf9yY
Lemmings, of course, never jump off cliffs to commit suicide – it is pure bullcrap – staged theater because it sells. They actually paid the local native boys to catch – 50 cents for each lemming – then staged the shot and now everyone believes it as fact.
I don’t suppose anyone cares, but I went to icke.com (or whatever it is) – just for a laugh of course – and he linked to a blog post at “infowars” called:
“Top AI Experts Issue Dire Warning: Humanity Faces ‘Extinction’ Level Risks From Artificial Intelligence”
with a sub heading (because one is never enough to drive it home) of:
“Even mainstream tech leaders like heads of Google, Microsoft and ChatGPT signed the publicly released statement”
The blog post, of course, says nothing at all.
This, I fear, is the end result of a lifetime of “education” and propaganda. I think the 5g bandwagon has just about ended, but I can’t see even the beginning of the end of the “AI” bandwagon.
Really, how many of you actually believe that “AI” exists or will ever exist? My guess is that it’s roughly the same number that believe in deadly viruses and “democracy”.
If I was a billionaire I’d have endless fun setting up “challenges”, where I’d offer $10m to anyone who could produce an “AI” or a “nanomachine”, who could prove that they are in any way represented by a politician, that diversity is anyone’s strength, or that BLM (or that anyone matters). No one would be able to collect, any more than anyone can float in the air like a brick doesn’t.
You can’t, of course, comment at icke.com, so I came here to “rant”. A long time ago I actually signed up for an account at icke.com and posted I forget what, and they banned me. At that time you got a message saying “You have been banned. Length of ban: forever. Don’t even think of coming back.” It was around that time that I realised the truth about all the “famous” alt baiters. When I got banned from wikipedia I got sent to some kind of dungeon page where I was required to plead my case to a foreigner. Needless to say I simply wrote in a way that I knew he’d have to use a dictionary to decipher. You see, I was so very worried that he’d ban me from the encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
BBC = British Bullshit Corporation
They make snakeoil salesmen appear credible, this Verify outfit is laughable
and makes fairy tales look truthful.
An old adage applies here – “He who pays the piper calls the tune”.
So, the BBC plays behind its own smokescreen of deceit and subterfuge safe in the knowledge that it can spread misinformation and disinformation without fear of contradiction.
All this paid for by the sheeple and mainly sub-contracted to former employees paying a reduced rate of tax by being off-payroll.
Nice work, if you can get it…
