Re: It's about time the BBC was stopped from putting out scarmongering nonsense like this.
They used to, but then they chucked out the impartiality and the public charter, then hired a science editor (david shukman), who, whilst possessing zero scientific qualifications and minimal experience, decided that "Minority" scientific views (anything that be refute AGW, for example) would no longer be given air-time on BBC TV or Radio. He also presided over the sham that was the BBCs "scientific panel review for AGW" which included so few scientists that it needed to be covered up and argued against in court
Yet, he allows this pile of cobblers to be aired.
Hey, Auntie Beeb, I think your agenda may be showing....
