Irony alive and well at the BBC



On the BBC's climate change portal at the moment, the main stories include
- Calls to strengthen the EU emissions trading scheme for airlines
- Calls to encourage homes to go green
- A report that the British are addicted to cheap flights
- A report that the risk of flooding due to climate change has been underestimated
- A conference to discuss tackling climate change
- Increases in forest fires due to climate change
- A report that APEC has muddied the climate change waters
- A way to track your carbon emissions through your phone
- A report that winter sports threaten mountain ecosystems
and lastly, and surely with tongue firmly in cheek, an entry from the Editors blog in which Head of TV news, Peter Horrocks says that the BBC has no line on climate change.
You couldn't make it up.
