  • "In our country, almost no one conducts the debate, catastrophic news tends to be believed by no one. We are too rational and pragmatic [a nation] to do so. Moreover, communism taught us that such things should not be believed,"

climate change BBC media journalism

shared by Benno Hansen on 24 Jul 11 - No Cached
  • The BBC is to revamp its science coverage after an independent review highlighted weaknesses and concluded that journalists boosted the apparent controversy of scientific news stories such as climate change, GM crops and the MMR vaccine by giving too much weight to fringe scientific viewpoints.
  • the network was at times so determined to be impartial that it put fringe views on a par with well-established fact: a strategy that made some scientific debates appear more controversial than they were.
  • Jones lamented the narrow range of sources that reporters used for stories, poor communication between journalists in different parts of the organisation, and a lack of knowledge of the breadth of science.

  • "The most important aspect is a vote of confidence in what BBC science is doing. It is head and shoulders above other broadcasters. As always, though, there is a but,"
  • the report "highlights the issue that, from time to time, a drive for 'impartiality at any cost' by the BBC can lead to a highly misleading presentation of science in situations where the evidence points overwhelmingly in one direction rather than another
  • It is important to have debate, but marginal opinion – prominently expressed but not well based on evidence – can mislead the audience.

  • ExxonMobil gave $1.5 million to climate deniers and industry front groups known for working to create doubt about global warming, attacking the integrity of climate scientists, and protecting the status quo for polluters
  • nearly $25 million spent by ExxonMobil since 1998 to fund climate denier groups
  • Some of Exxon’s largest donations were to groups that lobbied against a global deal on emissions being reached at the climate summit last December in Copenhagen. Exxon could see the value of its oil and gas investments fall sharply if governments adopt aggressive plans to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels.

  • The four groups funded by Exxon — the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, the Media Research Center, the Pacific Research Institute and the Heritage Foundation — co-sponsored the annual Heartland Institute denial-a-palooza conference last year.

  • “To a philosopher,” said Thoreau, “all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.”
  • In Thoreau’s time, as in ours, nature didn’t usually didn’t make news unless it was touched by obvious trouble.
  • If war, as one wit famously observed, is “God’s way of teaching Americans geography,” then environmental disasters such as the BP oil spill seem to be the primary way that Americans learn about ecology.

  • Overall the summary conclusions are considered well founded, none have been found to contain any significant errors.
  • in some instances the foundations for the summary statements should have been made more transparent
  • the investigated summary conclusions tend to single out the most important negative impacts of climate change
