BBC scraps plans for day-long TV special on climate change

The BBC has scrapped plans for Planet Relief, a big television special on climate change, after a revolt from senior corporation executives.

Planet Relief, a day of programmes designed to “raise consciousness” about the environment and starring Ricky Gervais and Jonathan Ross, was to have taken place next year. The event would have involved viewers in a mass “switch-off” to save energy. But BBC figures raised concerns that the programme concept might breach impartiality guidelines.

I like the idea of a massive 'switch-off' of the TV, but not for climate reasons...

Anyone know anything about strobe lighting effects on the concious/sub-concious. What 'flickers' in the surrounding environment are we being subjected to without really thinking about it? TV's, Police cars, Modems, Bulbs, Fluorescent???? Anyone know about this stuff already?

Not like the BBC this.... whats going on?

i think the bbc realise that the public are far too cynical about this topic. they're probably more interested in their ratings than the truth though.

I heard an interview with Alex Jones, and he said he'd been taken on a tour underneath a major university where they had rooms full of monkeys strapped into chairs watching TV's with different flicker rates to monitor the effects !!!!!:eek:

You people have got to stop thinking the BBC are independant. The Director General is there to put through the propaganda agenda for the elite, who own him and the BBC.

The BBC are interested in ratings as much as they are the truth. The NWO agenda is all they are interested in.

BBC = British Brainwashing Corporation

Throw your TV out the window and Boycot the TV Licence fee, it's a racket!

Such a simple solution, and would have a profoundly positive effect if enough did it at one. imo

Hmm, food for thought, organise through a website and set a time sometime in the future.......

Shutting down debate on climate change is one of the principal objectives of many of today’s environmentalist crusaders. They have written numerous tracts denouncing the ideals of journalistic balance and objectivity, since applying such ideals to climate change assumes that there is more than one legitimate viewpoint on the subject. Journalists who seek balance on climate change are labelled ‘cowards’ for refusing to take a stand against Evil. One writer has accused the BBC of putting balance before the ‘responsibility that we all share to avert the catastrophe that is unfolding’ (4).

Exhorting the media to take sides on climate change, instead of upholding balance, green crusaders resort to cheap and superficial comparisons between climate change and slavery or the Holocaust. The implication is that anyone who thinks it is legitimate to have an open debate on climate change is a moral coward, or worse, someone who would have refused to take sides during the Holocaust.

Unfortunately, the BBC’s decision to scrap Planet Relief does not represent a brave stand against the powerful current of illiberalism towards open discussion on climate change. It’s simply a pragmatic decision motivated by the BBC’s desire to maintain its present share of the viewing public.

The BBC has dropped plans to hold a day of programming highlighting the threat from climate change, it said Thursday, in a move which has drawn sharp criticism from environmental groups.

I think you are right there. TV is their 'main' controller.
