Ministry Of Truth: Crackdown Ordered On Climate Change Skeptics

Ministers who question the majority view among scientists about climate change should “shut up” and instead repeat the Government line on the issue, according to MPs.

The BBC should also give less airtime to climate sceptics and its editors should seek special clearance to interview them, according to the Commons Science and Technology Committee. Andrew Miller, the committee’s Labour chairman, said that appearances on radio and television by climate sceptics such as Lord Lawson of Blaby, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer, should be accompanied by “health warnings”.

Mr Miller likened climate sceptics to the Monster Raving Loony Party and said that the BBC should limit interviews with them just as it restricted the coverage it gave to fringe political parties.

In a report published today, the committee criticises the BBC’s coverage of climate change, saying that its news programmes “continue to make mistakes in their coverage of climate science by giving opinions and scientific fact the same weight”.

The MPs say that the BBC should apply the same “stringent requirements” to interviewing climate sceptics as it applies to interviewing politicians. “For example, any proposal to invite politicians to contribute to non-political output must be referred to the Chief Adviser Politics. The BBC could benefit from applying a similarly stringent approach when interviewing non- experts on controversial scientific topics such as climate change,” the committee says.

When considering how confusing it is to interact with the French, one has fun trying to find the inner message; when trying to understand the British, one is distressed by the enjoyment of language and logical argument, coupled with self-delusion and purposeful corruption of the language and logic.

Here, we see the Labor Party wanting to silence those who object to the vague rant about climate change. [They dropped "warming" years ago.] The Prime Minister has recently announced that climate change is the "number 1" threat to Britain and the world. No. 1, got it. Forget the Ukraine, terrorism, GMO foods, dangerous chemicals, Hollywood. No, the problem is climate change, so much so, he announced HIS party, unlike the evil party before him, is building a new nuclear reactor!

I would like to see him swim off the coast of Japan. Whatever you do, do not get involved with trying to send an email to London explaining facts and stuff.

Oh, he also touted Britain, which is the support staff for the financial district called "The City," has the world's first "green" investment bank.  Get it, yet?

Notice the demand for the state owned media to purposely NOT interview those who question the party like, as it has been put.  Do you see logic anywhere?  There is a propaganda logic, but that is sophistry, an internal logic that promotes a position, but does not seek facts. There is KGB and National Socialist logic, but not in the search of truth; rather, in search of conning the sheep as they are herded to the gate.

We are told "science" is why we must ban science, the discipline of eliminating falsehood by questioning proposed facts. We are told real scientists have voted on fact, which is crazy talk. Talk about the Loony Party.

The National Post, a real newspaper out of Toronto that Americans should look at, just for fun, created a series covering the "Deniers."  Check it out. If you are used to reading American papers, there are dictionaries online for assistance.

BTW, I hear the media playing the song about unemployment going down. I suppose I have to address it again, but be reminded, the percentage is based upon a nonsensical model that Washington redesigned starting in the Clinton era, as reported by the small guy-economist, as he claims, who worked for Mr. Clinton. 

People who couldn't find a job fast enough are not on the unemployment list.  Of course, they are still unemployed, but they are out of sight.  

Enjoy your country.
