You are in Australia and do not have access to the bulk of the BBC output - if you did the bias of the BBC would be glaringly obvious.

Here in the UK we are forced to pay the BBC to get the right to watch ITV or other independent broadcasters. The television licence is a ridiculous system - we should not have to pay the biased BBC so we can watch ITV.

I have access to the bulk of BBC output and I notice very little bias.

I assume you want me to explain why I think it is a flawed article?
A couple of points:

Quote:

The report's most startling passage, however, is one that examines the "fingerprint" of warming at different levels of the atmosphere which the computer models come up with as proof that the warming is man-made.

Not even the IPCC is claiming proof.

Quote:

One of the central flaws in the IPCC's case is its reliance on computer models, based only on those parts of the evidence which suit its chosen "narrative", omitting or downplaying hugely important factors which might produce a very different picture. These range from the role played by water vapour, by far the most important of the greenhouse gases, to the influence of solar activity on cloud cover.

Water vapour is addressed on pages 236, 238, 254, 261, 271......
Solar radiation on 272, 278, 280, 317, ............
Just to cite a few examples.

Of course you don't: what with your europhile global warming alarmist views the Brussels Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) are saying exactly what you want to hear.

We will see what you think of the BBC when you become old enough to buy the very costly compulsory anachronistic television licence yourself.
