Climate Research News » BBC Bias Part 2 - ‘Earth:The Climate Wars’ Programme 3 - A Viewer’s View
...What followed was a lesson in why the warmers don’t present rational arguments to support their position very often. They can’t do it without contradicting themselves....Then he went to South Western USA and showed a lost civilisation of desert dwellers who abandoned their homes in the thirteenth century after sudden climate change forced wars over water and eventually destroyed the civilisation. The same thing was predicted for Las Vegas and Los Angeles! Must be God’s wrath on these places for all that gambling, sexual perversion and car use….

But wait a minute - the thirteenth century?? Was that not the medieval warm period? And didn’t the second Climate Wars programme state that there had been no significant climate change at this time because the great Michael Mann had cut down some pine trees and decreed that the last thousand years had been a climate garden of eden until the wicked co2 emissions commenced? Was this not a key argument used by the programme makers to establish that there was nowhere to hide from the science of man made climate change? Just so! Seems that natural climate change can be acknowledged when it is needed to back up scaremongering as the to the effects of warming, but is denied when assessing the causes, leaving mankinds activities as a default. And they call this science.

The bottom line is that natural climate change has happened throughout the earth’s history. Sometimes suddenly, sometimes slowly, but its been there all along. And the programme claimed that we have no clue as to why these changes, especially the sudden ones, happen. If a 5 degree warming in Greenland 11,000 years ago was caused by a butterfly, then I’m Arnold Schwarzernegger! So if they have no idea as to the causes of natural climate change, and so expunge it from recent history, how can climate models possibly be calibrated to take account of it and to reveal the human warming signal???

He seems to have shot himself in the foot somewhat when He went to that place in the USA where the lost civilization died out. He didn't explain what caused the drought in the first place? Was it over extraction or global warming? If it was the latter then it's their own fault for presumably running around in those four by four gas guzzling donkeys they used to travel to the local shops instead of walking. Funny also how they managed to extrapolate exactly what occured in those times with people killing eachother over scarce resources using lots of supposition and little in the way of hard evidence bar presumably a few skeleton with punture holes to the cranium.
This "documentary" ranks as the very worst piece of propaganda inflicted on the UK population since possibly the second world war when it actually did some good to lie to the people in order to maintain moral.
