Letter: Warming show was packed with lies

Letter: I just watched the BBC video "how the big freeze fits theories of global warming". Once past an irresistible chuckle, I took some notes of the half lies present in their argument.

First, it's not "one winter", it's three cold winters in a row. Then we are told it's the long term that counts. But they choose a period of 30 years not 50 years. Why? Because before that, from 1945 to 1980, the climate was cooling. That's what is called cherry picking. Anyone knows that by choosing the dates one can make statistics tell anything.

Besides, it's not 30 years of warming, it's 20 years because it's been cooling in the past 10 years.

A favourite argument often heard on the BBC is the following: "This year is the xxth warmest on record." It's another white lie. Of course it's warmer today than 30 years ago, but what they are hiding from the public is the fact the trend has reversed, and the climate is now cooling due to the sun entering into a new cycle. The sun drives climate, not CO2.

They are also hiding the fact that it was warmer 1,000 years ago, in the Medieval Warm Period. That's the period the CRU scientists planned to make disappear from temperature records.

But the BBC can't possibly admit they've been wrong about climate. Many could lose their jobs for the bias they have shown over the past 30 years.
