In a state of shock over the BBC and trees

[DaveGrohl]

As per the title. I've just watched a 12 min report on BBC News channel by Ros Atkins about trees. Whisper it quietly but his report could be the canary in the coalmine of the media finally starting to wake up to something approaching reality. It was full of snappy little soundbites and quotes but the overall theme was that trees really aren't remotely the solution the politicians and other dopes think they are. Not news to anyone on here but I'll take that as a hint of a change in attitude, certainly by this one journalist's piece. The carbon offsetting joke was mentioned also.

I've no idea how to link it onto here but I'm guessing it will be on iplayer somewhere imminently, and bbc.co.uk/news as he pointed out at the end of the report. Maybe search for Ros Atkins and have a hunt about? Hopefully someone with the required skills could find a link for sharing on here. Well worth a quick 12 min viewing. The timestamp was 19.43 to 19.55 on live viewing.

Edit: I've just searched for it and it hasn't appeared yet but hopefully will do soon (maybe tomorrow?).

What is the betting that it won't make the cut to iplayer?

He seemed to suggest it certainly would be available on iplayer. I hardly ever use it myself so am not familiar with how long stuff takes to appear.

Ross Atkins is a top journo in a cesspit organisation

Be aware that some forms of Iplayer are very choosy on what is available. Iplayer on Sky is a waste of time.
Iplayer on Amazon has far more available!

Carbon off setting is the next ppi scandal,why these big companies think they will get away with it beggars belief

Because they have an enormous amount of money resting on it. This could get very interesting.

If you go on bbc iplayer now and news channel it will scroll back to 19.43 on the live feed

Don't get too excited, the AHDB will soon be along to point out that trees are better for the environment than livestock.

Oh dear. I suppose all of you that have refused to buy your TV licenses won’t be allowed to see this?

It's OK, they have managed to suppress that scurrilous report and get the headlines back on message again with the usual unbiased reporting.

Researchers tracked thousands of posts denying climate change - and only 8% were marked as misinformation.

[Cowabunga]

They could probably pay £15,000 an acre without blinking. Has anyone here done the sums as to the value of carbon offsetting to these companies, remembering that they will get increasingly desperate to offset as time goes by?
