BBC: Richard Black’s Farewell
Let’s hope the reporter who replaces him is more balanced.
For those who do not know, Richard Black is / was the environmental and global warming reporter for the BBC .
I’m sorry for the short post; I’m sending it from my phone from a fast food restaurant along Interstate 5.
hat tip to WUWT reader Pat
@blackswhitewash
it helped, but i think the lure of being able to do something worthwhile tipped Black
Who I am kidding, he’s rebranded himself as @EnviroBlack
Money, money, money
Must be funny
In Enviros world
Money money, money
Always sunny
In Enviros world
Ah ha aaaaaaa a
All the things I could do
If I had Enviros money
It’s Enviros world
/sarc
(in case anybody thinks I serious – I actually always had good responses from Black and enjoyed his other work on enviromental issues.)
Just realised the song in my last post really could apply to all the watermelons
he did not like me and got me blocked from following him on Twitter… I reported this to the BBC governors and they made him unblock me. I was never abusive, just humourous. I genuinely think for him it was a “can’t see the wood from the trees situation”… He was just pulled along by the rip current. What was pathetic was the creepy behaviour of those who trolled his bbc clogs targetting people like me who pointed out errors etc etc, ( The same sheople who live at Mann’s FaceBook page and skew the review statistisc for Mann’s published drivel ). They are sad beyond description. “Get-a-life” does not even get close.
‘Let’s hope the reporter who replaces him is more balanced.’ —- don’t hold your breath
It’s not this particular person, it’s the lack of scientifically educated personnel in the upper echelons of the BBC that is the problem.
Captain Black and The Mysterons will continue elsewhere.
A lot of people are leaving the BBC this includes news readers and weather people. They are probely getting sick and tried of “non news” and “PC attitudes”. I no longer watch the BBC news prog in the morning, I now watch RT and France 24 for actual footage of what the hell is going on.
Well Greg, I can’t speak for C24 but just because RT has an opposite take on the news from the BBC doesn’t make ’em right. I know from personal experience that the propaganda spin the Russians use isn’t your friend. They have a position and an agenda and that is not favorable to the west as they see it.
Black has tweeted he attended Felix Dodds of the Stakeholders Forum leaving party.
Dodds is also a member of the Council of Advisors for the Collaborative Institute for Oceans, Climate and Security
My money is still on Black joining the Stakeholders Forum
Would it have anything to do with the fact the BBC sunk a lot of their superannuation fund into carbon credits? Anyone know how this works? Now the EU are not cutting their carbon emissions to 30% seems the faith in the alarmist propaganda ain’t so hot anymore. Excuse the pun.
