Boaden comes clean

Bishop Hill in BBC

The BBC's Helen Boaden recently gave what I believe is the first written confirmation from the BBC that the statement made by the Trust - that the CMEP seminar attendees were "the best scientific experts" - was false. In her written evidence to the Information Tribunal she characterised the attendees as follows:

...representatives from business, campaigners, NGOs, communications experts, people from the 'front line', scientists with contrasting views and academics...

It's good to have this confirmed. I wonder if the Trust would like to issue a correction and an explanation of how the public came to be misinformed.
