BBC switches off climate special

BBC NEWS Science/Nature BBC switches off climate special: The BBC has scrapped plans for Planet Relief, a TV special on climate change, the BBC News website has learned.
The decision comes after some senior executives expressed concern that the programme concept might breach impartiality guidelines.

“Environmental campaigners slammed the decision as ‘cowardice’. ‘This decision shows a real poverty of understanding among senior BBC executives about the gravity of the situation we face,’ said activist and writer Mark Lynas. ‘The only reason why this became an issue is that there is a small but vociferous group of climate ’sceptics’ lobbying against taking action, so the BBC is behaving like a coward and refusing to take a more consistent stance.’ “

When media understands that they crossed the line and that the real gravity of the situation is hype they call it “cowardice” I want to congratulate BBC for the “bravery” it took to not kowtow to these radicals. They can remove themselves from the Demented, Delusional, or Dumb Club for thirty days.
