Marco Silva is taking time out from his role as a senior reporter for BBC Verify specialising in ‘climate disinformation’ to enrol on a six-month course at the Oxford Climate Journalism Network (OCJN), a green activist operation funded by billionaire foundations promoting the collectivist Net Zero project. Past direct funders of this course include the Laudes Foundation and the European Climate Fund, the latter heavily supported by Extinction Rebellion funder Sir Christopher Hohn. Also signed up for the course is Mora Morrison, a BBC World Service producer.

Full story here.

By giving these two senior employees time off for this indoctrination shows just exactly where the BBC stands in the debate about climate change.

    They are taking the public for idiots for as long as they can before the Corporation comes crashing down

    Could save himself the trouble by reading ‘Infrared Forcing by Greenhouse Gases’ W. A. van Wijngaarden and W. Happer. Case closed!

    Well all BBC employees are experts at disinformation, so I wonder what else these reporters will learn.

    I guess Marco won’t find Rowlatt on the course…..some trouble with him failing the prelim. More annoying is that WE are paying for this!

    Marco is going to get it in the neck when he comes back. There’ll be no need to raise formal complaints only to have them ‘explained away’ by some of the sophists at the BBC .
    Marco can have his own copy of the reports that Paul has been sending us, particularly the ones with compelling statistical and historic records.
    Perhaps we can start by introducing him to the concept of groundwater abstraction by which the seas are being raised in Florida and in the Ganges Delta. Venice claims to have cracked it. We shall see what their new barriers achieve now that pumping is supposed to have ended.
    It’s all a bit incestuous ( are we surprised ?) as Marco will be scrutinising climate disinformation and we know which Rowlatt issues that.
    But I am getting over excited as Paul’s collection of complaints as published can confront Marco on day one.
    Can the billionaire funders understand the irony of the predicament Marco may lead them into?

    I really do not like Wikipedia but the article on young BBC Misinformation department recruits does seem to be very accurate. Here it is

    ‘Marco Silva is taking time out from his role as a senior reporter for BBC Verify’

    It’s not a job, it’s a ‘role.’

    He’s playing a journalist at the BBC, but he’s actually an agent for billionaire greens.

    ” How to apply for the Oxford Climate Journalism Network ”

    ” We are looking for journalists from all beats, platforms and levels of seniority that are passionate about climate coverage. ”

    Is there any possibility of a logical approach rather then “passionate” ?

      “Passionate” doesn’t mean passionate about getting it right, it means passionate about the activism.

        Passion frequently clouds judgement and undermines good decision-making.

      Like so many words it has been rendered meaningless by the media industry. I read an ad once ‘passionate about chocolate’. These are the guys who make it. It just want them to be good at the job of making it. I like chocolate; if it is not made well it makes me sick.

    Wasn’t Hitler the first politician to campaign from airplanes instead of rail trains?
