BBC - I'll have my say, then.

As I said, Gore's award will set the cat amongst the pigeons. And blimey, but the BBC's willingness to let any drivelling deranged wittering have the same level of authority as someone who has spent time looking at a subject is really getting on my nerves. If you want to listen to someone spouting off incompetently about a subject of which they know very little, you can go on the web and find any number of blogs. I'd like to think when I'm sat listening to a national broadcaster that they will have bothered to find people who have spent the time developing a logical and coherent argument, even if they disagree (which admittedly makes good telly), rather than allowing any Tom Dick and Jeremy Clarkson to declare whatever they feel is true. They're not even trying! They just don't like the idea that global warming is happening, so they've decided it's not true! (I should note, if I ever use exclamation marks it's because I'm really getting annoyed/excited).

Oh, and Mark Thompson should be sacked. Immediately. Just because I don't like him. No, don't need to say why, people who spout of on his channels apparently don't have to explain their decisions either.

The way the BBC should be engaging with the public is in producing great television, which apparently they are still willing to do, not letting the public play in front of the idiot box for a bit.

Don't mess with Attenborough.

David Attenborough, who it was recently announced would be back with another two documentaries is not happy with a Dutch organisation that has taken to editing his work to remove any mention of evolution.

Attenborough, being the rational chap he is, merely states

"The BBC should take steps to make sure that the minuteness of the meanings are maintained."

Sadly, the BBC doesn't appear to be taking a step yet, since the edits are apparently within their 5 minutes editing limit. Except - isn't the BBC having a bit of a tivvy about lack of truthfulness at the moment? Well, this is another case. Do something about it.

The President of the Czech Republic is an imbecile. He has drunk from the same well of insanity as Michael Crichton, and has declared environmentalism a threat to democracy.

What? Science isn't a democracy, you don't decide on what a theory should be on the grounds of which one the most people like the sound of. Reality has the only vote, and what is true is what will ultimately win. Scientists shouldn't have to keep their mouths shut to avoid making life difficult to politicians.

His statements against global warming are the same banal drivel that denialists come out with all the time. Global Warming can't be real because it doesn't *feel* real to him.

Yes, global warming is happening. It's not as bad as Al Gore says, true, and may even kill no more people than World War I and II combined, and merely spark a recession as bad as during the 1920s.

As for the idea that we should roll back the industrial revolution - no, we should go forward. Or does he believe that fossil fuels are of effectively infinite supply?

This is a case of market failure. The response of governments should be to promote energy efficiency wherever possible. Adam Smith himself said transport was the responsibility of the government, so the government really has the responsibility to make environmental transport policies - trains rather than lorries, say, and air freight including the environmental costs.

This isn't democracy. Far from it - it's taking the needs of the future population into account. You can't vote if you're not born yet, after all.

Tim Sparke is an idiot. And that's a scientist's opinion.

Tim Sparke is executive producer of Loose Change Final Cut. And he's a complete and utter idiot. As his response to Moonbat's review of his inane documentary shows.

MOMENTUM DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY, MORON!

Momentum is conserved, yes. But the theory states the tendency of an object to continue to move in its direction of travel, unless acted on by a net external force

Gravity is a force.

I really can't be bothered with the rest of it, I'm just depressed these idiots are allowed a say when their arguments are so utterly, patently pathetic.

You're entitled to your opinion. You are not entitled to your own laws of physics. And if he can't even get that right, why bother with the rest of it?

Shame on you, Guardian. Shame. You've probably given poor Dr Goldacre a fit when he's seen this rot.

The "la-la-la" files

Latest to stick his fingers in his ears and deny loudly anything scientists and economists tell him that he doesn't want to hear is Chrysler's chief economist Van Jolissaint

Mr Van Jolissaint is apparently surprised by how much support there had been in the Daimler office in Stuttgart for these "quasi-hysterical" policies that smacked of "Chicken Little" politics

So this rather strongly suggests that any "green" policies such US companies come up with are merely part of window-dressing to get extra sales (or in Chrysler's case, forced on them by Daimler)
