Still my favorite segment about why it's a bad idea to participate in bad-faith "debates" about science. They only result in further amplifying disinformation.

"People still think this issue is open to debate, because on TV it is. It's always one person for one person against. When you look at the screen, it's 50/50, which is inherently misleading."

@luckytran I also had the incredible experience of working for this guy…it’s so sad to see the BBC rolling back on his landmark line in the sand on debating climate change.

Now in 2023 it’s often the case that they put climate delayers up against those trying to avert climate catastrophe.

No debate: The tweet that brought a shift in BBC climate change coverage

Tired of being asked to debate climate deniers despite the overwhelming scientific consensus that anthropogenic climate change is happening, Dr Rupert Read refused to appear on a BBC show to debate where there is no debate. His tweeted response drew a reaction even he couldn’t have imagined.

@JugglingWithEggs @luckytran ah…just realised the link shows a picture of arch Climate Denier and Brexiteer Nigel Lawson…I certainly didn’t go anywhere near him. No, I worked with the author of the piece, Dr Rupert Read.
