MORE HORROR...: "Apologies for returning to him so soon, but Roger Harrabin in some senses is himself the story as far as this site is concerned; his endless spinning, dissembling and contorting are at the heart of why BBC so-called journalism is rotten to the core.
His latest posting gives - in reverential tones that Wackford Squeers himself would have been proud - Professor Phil Jones's account of why he is right about climate change and the rest of the world is wrong. To be sure, Mr Harrabin has clothed the good professor's utterances with weasel words that acknowledge that sceptics exist and that he might have handled the odd bit of data, the odd fact, ineptly. But Harrabin's overall message if that professor Jones is right, the facts and the datasets prove global warming, and it is a tragedy that Copenhagen did not achieve the world governance that he so desperately craves. Every time there is an opportunity to put the warmist case like this, Mr Harrabin takes it, savours it, and embellishes it; and he never troubles to give another side of the story, even though Steve McIntyre, Anthony Watts and others have shown time and time again that the very data that Professor Jones so exults is as full of holes as a colander.
One final point. Surely, even Mr Harrabin does not believe this (at the end of the latest story)?
He said many people had been made sceptical about climate change by the snow in the northern hemisphere - but they didn't realise that the satellite record from the University of Alabama in Huntsville showed that January had been the warmest month since records began in 1979.
But because Professor Jones said it, perhaps he does. In the world of alarmists, the words from on high must be true.
