You will recall the claim that climate change will make potholes worse. This sort of “scientists say” reporting is ubiquitous in the BBC’s reporting of climate. They rarely actually quote an actual scientist who is actually prepared to back any of these specific claims. Instead they just rely on the lazy (and false) generalisation that global warming will make all of our weather more extreme.

This time though they give plenty of space to Roger Harding of Round Our Way. And just who are Round Our Way? Are they scientists or experts in such matters?

No, they are simply a tiny campaign group, with just four staff:

Roger Harding himself has no qualifications whatsoever, other than previous campaign work for Shelter:

If you want to campaign for what you believe to be good causes, fine. But why is the BBC publicising their propaganda?
