Wow, when all else fails, you can still count on a Newfie to just tell it like it is. Hat tip to the people of The Rock, and Rex++.
\o/ It’s over Rex has spoken, this man carries weight of opinion. Let the rout begin. Tally ho!
About time!.
Everyone needs to see that. Spread the word.

Fantastic. You can’t get more fair than that.
Alarmists claim that these e-mails “do not disprove man-made climate change.” That is true, however, these e-mails demonstrate clearly that man-mide climate change was never fully proven to begin with, it was manipulated into existence through selective omission of counter-argument.
Superb! Just Superb!
Wow Climategate and ipcc review news headlines on BBC Radio 4. Tipping point 4 UK news.
FYI: “The National” is a very serious program. This video is not partisan. I suspect the delayed MSM response in Canada is because media higher-ups wanted to “wait & see” and do careful research before going public.
He sure said a mouthful!
At long last…

And still no “lame-stream media” has covered this. CNN has done a couple of pieces but they will when it blows up at Nopenhagen.
This is wonderful and so true. We need hit the reset button and put these guys (scientists) on real problems not political ones. The vast majority of them are good guys with good intentions just caught up in trying to make a living. It’s the Gore’s of the world that are making a living off of people’s fears.
Since Gore invented the internet it will destroy him and his money greed scheme from spreading fear.
I don’t know how much the CBC has changed since I left Canada 16 years ago, but I doubt it has become less left leaning in its bias.
Even Canada’s Conservatives (at least eastern ones) had pretty much either drank the the kool-aid or given up their fight. For such a liberal/left bastion as the CBC to backslide toward skepticism is quite amazing.
That to me makes Rex’s opinion piece that much more important.
Wow, the truth will out. I hope the flood gates will now open and mainsteream media will start to report the truth. I advise my friends who believe in AGW to not be the last ones on board this sinking ship.
He blew me away too. Found reference to this on a newspaper blog so I started looking for it and gave my family in canada a heads up so they can catch the 10:00PM broadcast (I’m in austrailia at the moment). My Dad replied back with a youtube link and I got it here as fast as I could.
As I mentioned earlier, there is also a CTV report from the same night to keep an eye out for, but its not as scathing as this.
wow.. i am blown away.
if only all reporters could speak like him and not be bound by the pressures of the MSM. and to actually report things
Outstanding! Thank you CBC, you did good. 😉
Powerful speech. Maybe CBC actually followed the advice of this activist:

Rex’s aim is true. A perfect bullseye.
Here’s some Christmas cheer from our furry friends for the moderators, if not for the rest:

I am speechless
Now that’s a piece of journalism – even-toned, eloquent, measured and objective.
There used to be a time I’d look to the BBC to be the standard bearer, sadly that time has long since departed.

On BBC’s main News page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8394483.stm
“UN body probes climate e-mail row
The United Nations panel on climate change is to probe claims UK scientists manipulated global warming data to boost the argument that it is man-made.
The organisation’s chairman Dr Rajendra Pachauri told BBC Radio 4’s The Report programme the claims were serious and he wants them investigated.”
That will be an interesting investigation. I wonder who will be appointed to provide an “impartial” report.
I never saw an editorial I didn’t think I could have improved upon; until this one.

What a contrast to the Nature editorial. And how sickly the latter looks in comparison. I hope they are both printed side-by-side in in books of the future.
BBC R4 Today programme Fri morning carried a ten minute slot on Climategate in their flagship 08:10 slot. This is usually the preserve of talking to government ministers on major policy issues.
An interesting small point was that the presenter John Humphries referred to the emails as being leaked – not stolen.
The sceptic (whose name I did not catch unfortunately) had by far the better of the discussion with Jonathan Porrit, one of the UK’s main cheerleaders for AGW.
It would appear that the BBC have finally started treating the story with some measure of their required impartiality.
English is not my native language, so there are many concepts I didn’t learn yet. Yesterday I learned a new word: ‘HIPSTER’. Hipster culture, and its huge spread since late 90’s, makes a lot of sense to me as, possibly, one of the main sources of public’s active support and belief in AGW. If hipsterism wasn’t so popular among young men and women as it is today, I bet the support in AGW and its ‘science’ wouldn’t be as strong as it is today. Simply because being anti-AGW is being eco-friendly, and being eco-friendly is ‘cool’!
Mr. Murphy
Bravo!
Your piece on Climategate was in my humble opinion the first piece of true Journalism from a Mainstream media outlet not just on this topic but on any topic seen in at least the last 10 years.
