Chris Morrison – The Daily Sceptic Dec 28, 2023
Marco Silva is taking time out from his role as a senior reporter for BBC Verify specialising in ‘climate disinformation’ to enrol on a six-month course at the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN), a green activist operation funded by billionaire foundations promoting the collectivist Net Zero project. Past direct funders of this course include the Laudes Foundation and the European Climate Fund, the latter heavily supported by Extinction Rebellion funder Sir Christopher Hohn. Also signed up for the course is Mora Morrison, a BBC World Service producer.
I guess the cat's out of the bag…
In January, I'll be joining the Oxford Climate Journalism Network🌍 Super excited about it! https://t.co/yTLNmM00YE— Marco Silva 🌍 (@BBCMarcoSilva) December 7, 2023
The OCJN runs what is described as an intensive programme for about 100 journalists/activists around the world. Participants can expect to be immersed in the correct political narrative surrounding climate collapse, the so-called ‘settled science’ and the need for extreme Net Zero measures, whatever the economic and societal cost. A flavour of the echo-chamber discussions can be gleaned from past essays produced by ‘alumni’, which include titles such as ‘Journalists should help audiences understand extreme weather – even when they lack climate data’, ‘To report fully on climate change, journalists need to integrate indigenous knowledge into their coverage’, and ‘Newsrooms should develop a mental health strategy to help climate journalists cope’.
Marco Silva should enjoy his time confirming his climate science priors. He has a keen nose for what he calls ‘disinformation’, basing his work on what he deems to be the authority of 99.9% of scientists who say humans are primarily responsible for the current warming of the climate. This is provided as a reason for not hearing from the “other side”. The ongoing scientific process, alas, seems to play little part in the BBC’s Net Zero agitprop. Alas, again, Silva seems unaware that the 99.9% consensus claim that he holds to be true is the creative work of cream pie thrower and green activist Mark Lynas. This work was demolished recently in a paper led by the chemistry and physics professor Yonatan Dubi. He found that massive flaws and biases riddled Lynas’s work, implying the conclusions of the study do not follow from the data. In fact, looking at the data presented by Lynas, Dubi concludes that the actual number of scientists agreeing with human-caused warming may be on the “low side”. A previous 97% consensus claim has also been widely debunked, with former Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) author Professor Richard Tol saying that the climate community still has a long way to go in weeding out bad research and behaviour.
None of these issues need bother the hundreds of journalists now passing through the hands of the OCJN. Started last year, it is part of the Reuters Institute at the University of Oxford. The Reuters Institute is backed by the Thomson Reuters Foundation and numerous green billionaire funders including the Laudes Foundation, the European Climate Foundation (backed by Sir Christopher Hohn’s Children’s Investment Fund Foundation) and the Knight Foundation. During 2022-23, funding of “over £1 million” was received from the Google News Initiative and Meta Journalism Project.
At the OCJN, the Advisory Board is dedicated to “improving the quality and impact of climate change journalism worldwide”. Again, careful curation is evident in its goal to “establish connections between the Network and leading organisations and ideas in the world of climate journalism, climate science and climate policy”. Members include OCJN co-founder Wolfgang Blau, who’s also an adviser to the United Nations Climate Change Division and a trustee of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation; Dr Fatima Denton, a co-ordinating author for the IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report; Aldine Furio, the Strategic Communications Director, Europe, at the European Climate Foundation; Leo Hickman, the Editor of Carbon Brief, an activist blog funded by the European Climate Foundation; Dr Radhika Khosla, contributing author to the IPCC; and Catrin Thomas, who helps the Laudes Foundation to “catalyse broad impacts through the development of external relations”.
Marco Silva claims that he is investigating and debunking bad information about global warming. “Not everything is what it seems,” he tells us. “Bad actors can be incredibly clever in the way they try to manipulate our knowledge and perception of climate change. Don’t rush, take your time to dig deeper, and dare to ask: why is this narrative being shared? Where does it come from? Who stands to benefit from it?”
Perhaps he might care to put those last three questions to the well-funded organisers of his sabbatical over the next six months.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving:
“Hi! We’re the THICKBrit Broadcasting Corporation…
Proudly serving The Proles their daily-dose of puerile propaganda pablum since Climate Change put paid to the Pleistocene Petiod.”
Psst… dont forget to pay that Licence Fee… SUCKERS!! 😅
There is a huge public revolt over the plan to increase TV licenses
This is the last nail in the governments coffin
the government refused to stop Tony Blairs Knighthood
They allowed Boris Johnston to give £300 milion of our money to ukraine
it turned out zelenskis family bought 8 one milion pound houses in israel with that money
The government filled the country with migrant scroungers
and used the Liverpool care Pathway scheme to kill old folk in hospitals and steal their homes
for the money to import in yet more
They pressured and pushed UK folk to have the jew-jab, while migrant toerags were never pushed to have it.
then the BBC who hid up a score of kiddie fiddlers want to up the charge for their crap and propaganda
NO THANKS the BBC must be disbanded
i remembered reading this some time back and managed to find it
it really does bear reading again
at the time i thought it looks true
now i am convinced of it

LADY ISOBEL BARNETT
When any broadcaster started work for the BBC a background security check was always part of the course, such things as political loyalties a criminal record and sexual preferences were always looked at, but in the thirties several of the Cambridge traitors called the Apostles all worked for the BBC, all had suspicious political views, almost all had convictions for alcohol related incidents or for immoral homosexual acts in public toilets, but got in with a note of recommendation from lord Rothschild, in 1942 the BBC was run by RV Foot and Cecil Graves who were left leaning pro war and pro Rothschild activists, there was a very informative document in the intel files some years ago by Raoul Berry who was a BBC linguist who worked with the Cambridge traitors and warning of his suspicions about them politically and not trusting them with small boys, so the present problems at the BBC is nothing new, called by British servicemen during W W II as ”Bullshit time “ the arrest of entertainer Rolf Harris being the latest BBC celebrity accused of sex crimes against children.
Lady Isobel Barnett one of the most recocnisable faces of BBC TV in the sixties and seventies was one of the most popular celebs ever to grace the small screen, with her perfect upper class accent she was the epitome of the English aristocratic lady, Isobel was born in Aberdeen Scotland and became a doctor of medicine before giving this up to become a JP ( justice of the peace ) which admirably suited her very moral tone on TV programmes such as Whats my line Petticoat Lane Many a Slip and Any Questions, with her beauty and engaging replies she was everyone’s favourite personality .
But Isobel was a very unhappy woman and she complained to bosses at the BBC that as a doctor and a judge she could not continue to countenance the behavior of certain people at the BBC who were turning a blind eye to sexual promiscuity and deviance and what she described as sexual attacks on young boys sometimes actually at the BBC studios, she went on that if it came out that TV people were turning a blind eye to abuse on programmes like Dr Who and Ready Steady go etc it would damage her work and reputation.
Now one of Isobels fellow contestants was a very clever blunt intelligent and incisive homosexual called Glbert Harding who was at one time characterized in the tabloid press as “the rudest man in Britain” for his cutting attacks on the TV show making it compulsive viewing.
Harding a very generous man with his time and money was the subject of an extremely tough series of questions which ended with Gilbert Harding in tears after being probed about the death of his mother by John Freeman on the Face to Face programme where he wanted Gilbert Harding to confess his homosexuality, Freeman later publicly expressed regret about this line of questioning, a few weeks later Gilbert Harding directly after recording a radio programme collapsed during an alleged asthma attack and died outside Broadcasting House, he was 53-years-old and his homosexuality was now all over the newspapers.
Lady Isobel Barnett could no longer stay silent and wrote to the BBC and a copy was sent to her husbands solicitor
in which she said the BBC was a cess pit of debauchery, and was like a private club for boys to do other boys and it had to stop. or she would speak out.
Lady Isobel Barnet had been talking to fellow panellist Barbara kelly about setting up a new movement for children’s rights with a hotline phone for immediate help, Barbara Kelly’s husband was broadcaster Bernard Braden whose show ” On the Braden Beat” had some of the biggest viewing figures of any show, the idea was stolen by Esther Rantzen and renamed “thats life” Esther was also later to set up an organisation for children’s rights with phone numbers for immediate help called “Childline “
One of those people fingered to the pro Jewish BBC By Isobel Barnett was the former Irgun terrorist Menachem Begin, described by Rabbi Louis Jacobs at a Cold war lecture as a psychopathic rapist and murderer of small arab boys, Begin was planning a series of bomb attacks on London which was to be blamed on Egypt.
Within days Lady Isobel was dropped from all her BBC TV and radio work, vicious rumours began circulating that she was a has-been, had lost it and was suffering dementia, and then finally she appeared in court charged with stealing a tin of fish and a carton of milk worth 87 pence, she was fined £75, a criminal record meant all her careers were over and two days later on the 19th October 1980 she was found dead in the bath at home.
During Britain’s industrial troubles Intercepted phone calls with London KGB operatives questioned whether Lady Barnetts’ death was suicide or a death to silence a lovely lady who only wanted to clean up the BBC
John Pilger, the great polemic journalist and documentary maker has passed away aged 84.
I once a attended a talk by Pilger at Clapham High Street Library. Not only was the talk interesting and informative, during the Q&A, he was asked about the best way to complain to, or about the BBC. Pilger said, ‘You are wasting your time, because the BBC never believes they are wrong’. Even when they are forced to admit they were wrong.
Surprising no mention of the feminista numpty Marianna Spring who has been put in charge of the BBC’s disinformation unit and it’s 60 or so journo muck spreaders. At 27 it’s obvious she’s being groomed for greater things no doubt starting from her time at Oxford ,her experience as an ex Wimbledon ball girl will undoubtedly provide the necessary experience in unmasking those no good Nazis and Putin apologists
I just happened to be reading the Wikipedia entry on the World Bank this morning – an instrument of the climate BS propagation and funding:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bank#cite_ref-97
It seems that “green witch hunts” even go after the heads of such globalised institutions…
‘On September 20, 2022, former US Vice President and environmentalist Al Gore labelled Malpass a climate change denier and called for Biden to replace him during an event focusing on climate change hosted by The New York Times. Later during the event, Malpass was given an opportunity to respond to Gore and was asked three times if he accepted the scientific consensus on climate change that human fossil fuel consumption was a leading cause. Malpass replied, “I’m not a scientist.”
This answer prompted criticism from climate policy makers such as Rachel Kyte and Mark Carney, and calls for his resignation from the Rocky Mountain Institute and Christiana Figueres, among others. On September 21, the United States Department of the Treasury issued a statement that it expected World Bank leadership to take a leading role on climate issues. On September 22, Malpass said in both an internal memo to World Bank staff and on an interview with CNN International that he accepted the scientific consensus on human activity causing climate change and that he was not a “denier”
In mid-February 2023, Malpass announced his intention to end his term as president of the bank by June 2023’

All you have to do is remove the Jews from your nation & their techno-Communist Great Reset/Agenda 2030 scheme/conspiracy disappears. No more electric cars/climate change/Tiktok/miscegenation/Commie-19 shots/Spacex/nonwhite invaders/DEI. For these are all things the Jews/Commies/Christians desire.
Surely simply being a BBc hack marks this imbecile as unworthy of serious attention…After all.. this is a supposed public company that takes millions of pounds off the very same people pushing the hoax to push the hoax.. as well as the billions it shanghais the public for…
It’s hardly surprising this miscreant is checking in for a free holiday on the publics purse…. these so called ‘disinfo specialists’ are an exercise in irony….
No doubt he will be dragged to the gallows screaming like a little girl…
Marco Silva will be an expert on “climate disinformation” alright…in accord with satanic inversion that is. Silva, as an eager peddler of this massive scam, deserves to have his hands sawed off and stuffed up his own poop-chute.
you know this Mosley bloke makes sense
