Good analysis, John!

The BBC used to provide 'balance', until an editorial diktat was issued in 2018 declaring that discussions regarding the Emperor's wardrobe did not necessarily need to include a clothing denier, though - magnanimously - it seems that occasionally it would be OK to have someone on who might be allowed to declare that possibly the Emperor might be slightly shy of being fully dressed.

Here is the alarmist take on the situation - they seem delighted:

Carbon Brief seems entirely unperturbed that the 'expert' commentary they have requested is from someone who wanted to BEEF UP the attribution angle... attribution of course being one of the shakiest supporting pillars of the climate alarmism cult.

Even the IPCC agrees! Roger Pielke, Jnr provides the links: https://rogerpielkejr.substack.com/p/weather-attribution-alchemy

Yes! For those unaware of this, what is going on it entails a 'pincer' movement of outside activists and those *within* (often non-technical people!) these supposedly impartial organisations getting to hound technical experts to rewrite stories to fit 'the narrative':

"Armies of sycophants can be trusted to hound those who merely report on the weather without anchoring it to a climate scare, and senior sympathisers within the BBC enforce ‘appropriate’ edits and encourage activists to “flag similar cases in the future so they can adapt the content accordingly”".

In the words of these activists: "keep it up, folks"...
