Burn them! (but capture the Carbon, okay?)

I've been saying that for years. That's two of us who understand it now.

To make matters worse, most of them are here on this tiny island.

David Bellamy can’t get on television and I can’t even get a ten-minute meeting with the controller of Radio 4.

You sure that wasn't Alan Partridge ?

I'd bet it was a lot more than 3 million.

PJ, I read your links, but they were not peer reviewed, so I will ignore them till the next IPCC report comes out, at which point I will check up what it says in the 'Johnny Ball' paragraph

Johnny Ball booed by atheists over climate change denial - Telegraph

Surprised he wasn't tied to a chair and dunked in the nearest river

[TimberWolf]

There's always Channel4 if he never works for the BBC again.

[pjclarke]

Ah, the Telegraph . 'Was, Is and Will be' full of it.

How the media works, Pt 94... Case Studies

So Fred Singer makes up some bogus numbers about glacier retreat, Bellamy then mangles them further them in a letter to New Scientist, and fails to bother correcting them. In the media he is of course the victim of McCarthyite blacklisting by AGW zealots....

Case Study II The 'persecution' of Johny Ball

Comment left at Deltoid ...

I was actually at the Godless show and Mr. Ball certainly was not booed off stage, or even booed with much enthusiasm. From where I sat I certainly couldn't hear any booing. What I did hear was stoney silence and nervous laughter which was as much about his off-colour humour as his anti-climate change ranting.

Storm in a tea cup, really, but the Tabloids [who] took off with the story obviously can't have been present at the time.

You'd think anyone searching the internet for 'Johnny Ball' would know to erm, filter the results but no, JB Googles himself and one of the links he comes up with is the site of a namesake pornstar. In the TES this is reported as

Mr Ball, father of TV and radio presenter Zoe, told The TES a website featuring pornographic images was posted online bearing his name,

James Delingpole rasies the ante, quoting the Daily Mail

In a sinister twist, websites have also been set up in his name which contain pornographic images.

and the lie picks up momentum as Brendan O'Neill 'knows' who did this vile thing:-

“extreme greens” have publicly ridiculed his views and even set up websites featuring him in photoshopped porno images.

Delingtool and O Neill have this much in common: they believe AGW is a hoax, they make stuff up, and the Telegraph publishes their fiction.

PJ, newspapers are in business to sell papers. wise up
