The BBC really bottled it there, but on the other hand, at least we've been spared Gervais presenting the issue.

The Guardian report on this story too, with added Durkin comment:
http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,,2162900,00.html

Documentary maker Martin Durkin, whose film The Great Global Warming Swindle attracted a large number of complaints when it was shown on Channel 4, also criticised the programme idea.

"The thing that disturbs me most is that the BBC has such a leviathan position ... that if it decides that it is going to adopt climate change as a moral purpose, I have got a lot of trouble with that. I don't think it is the role of the BBC to spend my money on a moral purpose," he said.

Isn't the BBC's mission to educate and inform essentially a moral purpose? Why the hell are they asking this guy anyway?

durkin is an ex-living marxism person, ie a pro-kiddy porn, abusive priest apologist randian cunt, as all of them are without exception. the spikedonline gang. all of that lot are fucking scary.

It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.

The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic – and worrying – examples of the impact of global warming on the planet. Scientists say the ice at 90 degrees north may well have melted away by the summer.

The President of the United States said in a tweet that he would announce his decision on the Paris climate agreement on Thursday at 3 pm (9 pm Paris time). Behind the scenes, a ruthless struggle took place.

From his career as a reality star, Donald Trump has kept the taste of suspense. At the end of January, he had orchestrated a ceremony before the cameras to present his choice of candidate for the Supreme Court, Neil Gorsuch . On Wednesday, he made an appointment for an announcement that is without doubt the most important since his arrival at the White House, that announcing his decision on involvement in the Paris climate agreement, ratified in 2016 by His predecessor, Barack Obama. "I will announce my decision on the Paris agreement Thursday at 3 pm (9 pm Paris time) in the rose garden of the White House. MAKING AMERICA HIS GRANDEUR, "tweeted the president. In the course of Wednesday, press reports said that Donald Trump '

I will be announcing my decision on Paris Accord, Thursday at 3:00 PM The White House Rose Garden. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!- Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 1, 2017
Behind the scenes, two factions clash with Donald Trump's entourage. The most radical advocated a withdrawal of the agreement, while moderate pleaded for a retention. Among them, the "New Yorkers", as well as some designate them in the White House, namely Ivanka Trump, the daughter of the president, and her husband, Jared Kushner. They both advise President Trump and have, on some subjects, adopted a less harsh line than the most determined Conservatives of the presidential team. Regarding the climate, Ivanka Trump tried to weigh on the decision of his father. According to Politico , the young woman made sure that Donald Trump is confronted with the opinions of the proponents of the climate agreement. In particular, it hoped that the support of several large companies would weigh in the balance. "Ivanka does everything she can to keep him [in the deal]. But that does not mean that it will do it, "said a source from the administration to the highly informed news site.

Even if Ivanka Trump's efforts were to bear fruit, the US climate policy may well fall short of the Paris agreement's goal of containing global warming "well below 2 ° C "by 2100. Those in the White House who want Washington to remain within the framework of the agreement hope that this action will allow the United States to obtain measures ... favorable to fossil fuels Including the coal industry, coaxed by Donald Trump. In short, it is a matter of avoiding the diplomatic thunderclap that would be the abandonment of the commitments of the COP21 to better see them down.

The nationalist Steve Bannon at the maneuver

Against the "New Yorkers", the clan of those who denounce the dangers of the agreement for the industry is led by the nationalist Steve Bannon, who has been particularly active. A time presented as in disgrace, this man of the shadow to the extreme convictions has, according to the American press, all done to weigh against the agreement of Paris. Bannon is the former boss of the Breitbart News site, which multiplies the climatic-skeptical articles. On Thursday, its headline read: "All the evil we will avoid the rejection of the Paris agreement on climate"

The populist advisor found a strong ally with Scott Pruitt, the leader of the EPA, the environmental protection agency. The 49-year-old man, former Attorney General of Oklahoma, is a friend of fossil fuels, particularly the fracking lobby, the hydraulic fracturing technique used in oil and shale gas exploitation. It has already begun a systematic undermining of the regulations implemented by the Obama administration. According to a Politico source, Scott Pruitt is convinced that the president is going to act the withdrawal of the Paris agreement and that "all the debates have served only to give to the moderates the feeling that they were heard".

Thursday morning, the decision seemed uncertain. Paradox of the administration Trump, the former boss of the oil giant ExxonMobil Rex Tillerson, became Secretary of State, is one of the defenders of the maintenance of the agreement. Donald Trump met with him on Wednesday, according to the New York Times . Could the chair change his mind at the last minute? "
