Oxburgh and the Jones Admission « Climate Audit

This morning, I received the following remarkable response:

Yours sincerly,
Ron Oxburgh

Climate, Obesity and the Aflac Duck - Dot Earth Blog - NYTimes.com

[Randy Olson] I constantly point to the Aflac story showing the unbounded power of mass media — a company that doubled its business in 4 years simply by building an ad campaign around a duck. There could be a duck campaign out there for global warming — we’ll never know if all the communication efforts continue to be so conservative and dull.

Are Climate Alarmists Losing the BBC? - Planet Gore - National Review Online

What was striking about it was that the BBC, which has tended to be gung-ho in its presentation of the dangers of global warming, actually presented those who are sceptical of the orthodoxy in a reasonably fair way. In doing so, it accepted that there is a genuine debate – and not some Big Oil-funded attempt to pervert the course of environmental justice, as some earlier BBC programmes have suggested. That debate is about what has caused the moderate rise in temperature over the past 150 years, how much warmer things will get, and what the best policy is to deal with a changing world. In turn, this reflects (hopefully) a more rational turn in the politics of climate change.
