Here's an example of the bullshit we are subjected to a lot of the time.
David Attenborough is one of the most respected men on global telly.
When the BBC backtrack on this they say it wasn't Attenborough's Fault but the production crews.
Is that bullshit or what?
Attenborough must have known he was broadcasting bullshit around the world and that shit would stick in the minds of millions maybe billions.
BBC backs down on David Attenborough's climate change statisticsSir David, 86, speaking over footage of Mount Kilimanjaro, made the assertion that "some parts of the continent have become 3.5C hotter in the past 20 years".
Given that since 1850 global temperatures have risen by about 0.8C, causing widespread concern, it was seen as a shocking assertion.
Bloggers and environmentalists expressed their surprise and questioned the scientific evidence behind the claim.
But the BBC initially defended it. They said it was drawn from a report by Oxfam and the New Economics Foundation., but in turn this report suggested the figure had come from a report by Christian Aid.
In a footnote that report suggested the claim had been made at a climate change conference in Dakar in 2004.
Unable to back up the assertion, the BBC last night deleted the words from the repeat of the episode.Instead the corporation played orchestral music after Sir David said: "Africa's climate is certainly changing." Instead there was only orchestral music in the background.
The next few words from the original broadcast, referring to the 3.5C rise, were missing.
Just a litle accident a little mistake .... bullshit.
