Today’s Climate Embarrassment

Salon.com (yes, I know) is celebrating that the BBC has decided to go full Pravda on us and cease allowing “climate deniers” on the air.  Well, it is a government-run media establishment.  But that would be the same BBC that refused to allow Churchill to broadcast his “appeasement denial” views back in the 1930s.  Yup, same slimy people.

Anyway, quoth a jubilant Salon:

Good news for viewers of BBC News: you’ll no longer be subjected to the unhinged ravings of climate deniers and other members of the anti-science fringe. . .  Were every network to start doing what the BBC is, their unfounded opinions would cease to be heard, Bill Nye wouldn’t have to keep debating them, and maybe, just maybe, they’d all just go away.

Meanwhile, hat tip to Willis Eschenbach, writing over at WattsUpWithThat, noting the latest suggestion for President Obama to extend his lawless reach, from perma-doomster Lester Brown:

Would you like to see President Obama do that?

I’d like to see him ban the sale of coal and oil.
