Maybe not for most paid politicians, but among the population at large there’s plenty of controversy. But the BBC won’t air the public’s views any more, unless favourable to its own alarmist climate propaganda. The media plan is to produce more ‘climate change storytelling’, which sounds like another good reason to not switch them on, or switch off.

The director-general of the BBC has said climate change is no longer a ‘politically controversial’ issue, reports the Daily Mail (via msn.com).
Tim Davie made the comment while speaking as part of a panel that coincided with Cop26.
He said: ‘The overwhelming consensus is that we, as humanity, are causing global warming. There are voices on the fringes but, in my view, when it comes to due impartiality for the BBC, we are now at a point where we have consensus around that.
‘But then you do get into political debate around policy, speed of change, the social consequences – there is tough stuff to debate and we will do that as the BBC.’
It follows 12 of the UK’s major media brands agreeing to increase the amount and improve the quality of their climate change storytelling across drama, comedy and daytime programming.
And Davie added that the pledge to increase climate change coverage does not impact on the BBC’s impartiality.
His comments came as media chiefs also warned broadcasters face becoming irrelevant to audiences if they fail to act on climate change.
Senior figures from the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky and STV urged their competitors to create more content reflecting the realities of climate change during a panel coinciding with Cop26.

Reblogged this on WeatherAction News and commented:
We redefined “what the peer review literature is”
We cancelled dissenting voices
We black balled editors who didn’t publish what we wanted
We ostracised anyone who went against the narrative
We removed discussions in newpapers comment sections
We call anyone who doesn’t agree with our agenda in collusion with Big Oil and call them names.
We write attack articles on anyone who doesn’t agree with us
Yep. The Science™ is settled.
There is no controversy.
🤔
“The overwhelming consensus …”
Chicken conference
There used to be something like ‘overwhelming consensus’ about phlogiston. But they were wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phlogiston_theory — ‘a superseded scientific theory’
It was considered to be a dominant theory for nearly two centuries.
This is not a minor issue — not just a “more business as usual” for the media. This is a widely agreed upon propaganda effort spurred by climate alarmists inside the journalism world who have formed organizations to coordinate Climate Alarm as a world-wide campaign involving thousands of media outlets. These media campaigns (and there are several major groups) share “stories”. Do not think “news stories”, they are not, they are fictional “based-on-a-true-story” stories — little anecdotes twisted to make readers believe the “whole world” is in a climate crisis NOW. The push a false narrative to intentionally create panic.
Tim Davie is absolutely correct. Politicians reached an overwhelming consensus. That does not mean that they are right, or that they won’t ruin us all. That is actually their goal.
The BBC, lying again.
Yep, politicians the world over have figured out what a cash cow “global warming” is.
“BBC boss claims climate change no longer ‘politically controversial issue’ “
Actually it’s true because both left & right made sure “politically” and commentators making insightful climate commentary (whether left or right) were exceedingly rare.
When the energy doom & gloom drumbeat is overzealous, that is dangerous (security perspective).
What a liar.
“But then you do get into political debate around policy, speed of change, the social consequences – there is tough stuff to debate and we will do that as the BBC.”
Complete lie. They have spent at least ten years not doing that and instead demanding increasingly extreme responses done immediately. And the pretending that’s science.
As for the science being “fringe”, it’s fringe because the BBC gave treated it and ridiculed it as fringe.
Its not hard to get consensus in science or any field at the best of times. Just make getting a job, getting published or promoted, keeping your job, getting grant money etc. dependent on agreeing.
But when that is the requirement, its much more likely the consensus view is wrong.
Climate change as such was never controversial. But attribution of it to mostly human causes was and is.

Really Tim?

Farage is right. We need a referendum.
A “provisional mulligan.”
I played in a golf tournament at Myrtle Beach last week. Players were allowed two mulligans – the option to replay the shot with another ball. If you take a mulligan, it must be played, and the first ball picked up.
So, at one point, another player says he is going to play a “provisional mulligan,” which he described as he might be in trouble with the first shot, presumably going to pick up the mulligan if not needed. I told him, “No, let’s go find your ball, and if you need a mulligan, you can come back and play one.”
Argument ensued, we were supposed to be having fun, so Gamecock relented.
He could never conceive that he was trying to bypass the “mulligan must be played” rule. He was hitting two shots, and would decide later which he liked best. BBC can’t conceive that they could be wrong, or that their opposition could be right. Hence, arguing with them will get you no where, because they can’t comprehend what you are saying. They have their dogma, and they are sticking to it, no matter what you say.
