BBC's climate change scam | The Australian

First, it has betrayed its statutory obligation to be impartial, using the excuse that any dissent from official orthodoxy was so insignificant that it should be just ignored or made to look ridiculous.

Second, it has betrayed the principles of responsible journalism, by allowing its coverage to become so one-sided that it has too often amounted to no more than propaganda.

Third, it has betrayed the fundamental principles of science, which relies on unrelenting scepticism towards any theory until it can be shown to provide a comprehensive explanation for the observed evidence.

In all these respects, the BBC has been guilty above all of abusing the trust of its audience, and of all those compelled to pay for it.

...Funding hiatus

Three years ago, developed countries pledged that by 2020 they would be providing $100bn per year for poor nations, to help them "green" their economies and prepare for impacts of climate change.

For the period 2009-12, they are provided $10bn per year in "fast-start finance".

But that agreement comes to an end in December, and no developed nation has yet indicated what happens afterwards.
