Carry On Lying!

Readers will recall that I spotted the Guardian’s false claim that Cyclone Pam was “the most powerful cyclone to hit the South Pacific since records began.
So I though I would fire off a complaint to IPSO, the new Independent Press Standards Organisation, who have replaced the old Press Complaints Commission.
Unfortunately IPSO. who are a voluntary body set up by the press themselves, tell me that the Guardian have not joined them! In other words, the Guardian are free to publish whatever further lies they see fit.
Ironically, it was the Guardian themselves who instigated the Leveson Inquiry, which is now likely to lead to state control of the press.

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT 
Pity the poor storm chasers:

MSM reports on things not happening, while ignoring things that happen like Climategate 1.0 (Hide the Decline!) Climategate 2.0 (The Cause), the on-going Adjustmentgate Scandal and Choo-Choo Pachauri’s fall from grace. http://nofrakkingconsensus.com/2015/03/23/another-reason-pachauris-book-may-be-disappearing/
There’s climate news aplenty. Guardian just isn’t covering any of it.
A case of IPSO non-facto?
We already knew that from about 8 weeks ago when they published the Greenpeace guy’s death threat joke against Matt Ridley see BH comment

“IPSO recommended that I go through my local MP instead. That’s Caroline Lucas.
Oh, the irony!! [weeps]”

In the BBC’s ‘Costing The Earth’ programme from the 25th March, Dale Vince of Ecotricity states that we are seeing ‘ … the beginning of the end of the Oil Age’ and that the Green Economy in Britain employed 1 million people in 2012 – the same as the financial services industry – as well as putting £128 billion into the economy
I wonder where he got these figures from?
Most of these jobs have been around for years, and include things like waste management and recycling.
The govt used to produce this chart annually, but the new jobs being created in the “Green Economy” was so few that they stopped publishing it last year!
