Hello.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've seen your website - can I say that I think it is a great idea for people to keep watch on and review our national broadcaster.
However, what is the point in the above item? All the World Today is doing is reporting what some scientists are saying.
As for the first image in the item, how does that conflict with what the scientists were saying?
Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteThe point is to highlight earlier instances of Arctic Ice melt reported on by the press. On the whole ABC promote the notion that these events are unprecedented in recent history, however close inspection of the above suggests these events are common. It is interesting to note the historical coverage above occurred at a time when the climate could not have been influenced by changes due to increased greenhouse gases.
