Tea & Cake at the Airport

With the government apparently about to help send us all that little bit further down the planetary pan with the likely announcement of a new runway at Heathrow, and hundreds of climate change protesters trying to point out that this might be a fucking lousy idea, Marc Roberts again blesses us all with a neat summary of the quality of mainstream media reporting on the subject.
The mentality of most of the pondscum at the BBC (etc) is illustrated in a fairly benign way by a former BBC environment correspondent speaking at a Panos event. Anyone really wishing to grasp the extent of the BBC's ignorance and out-of-date stances on climate change only needs to listen to the Today Programme or You and Yours on R4. Having said that, the defence of Peter Sissons' laughable interview with the Green Party's Caroline Lucas that my beloved husband received in the post a week or two ago was particularly spectacular. I thought he'd blogged it, but I obviously need to do my wifely duty and nag him into getting it done.
