Reference:- The Sky News team is in a flap about the latest IPCC report .

Reference :-  The latest IPCC report on climate change has been released , much to the chagrin  of the opinion makers at Sky News .  

Dear presenters of alternative facts , 

Gosh , you sure do look foolish now that the latest IPCC report has been released .   What can be done ?   Your attempt ,yesterday,  to discredit hundreds of climate scientists by interviewing a Geophysicist  with links to the mining industry was disappointingly lame .  Young Andy Bolt also suggested   ( very briefly )  that a senior American climate scientist , Roy Spencer , does not believe the climate change narrative . That was brave of Andy , since Roy has recently reaffirmed that he believes in anthropogenic climate change and  further stated that reporters in the media who suggest otherwise are making " potentially libelous statements ". 

 These days a chap can be sued for almost anything , so one takes quite a risk when one gives credit for an opinion where such credit is not due .   Likewise , Ken junior reckons it was strange to hear it asserted on your channel  that global temperature monitoring has been restricted to changes since the 1950's .   According to Ken junior , if that is true , why have scientists spent decades drilling polar ice cores to produce climate data that go back more than 800,000 years ?  Admittedly they might just be doing it for the grant money , but if I was running such a scam I would be suggesting that we construct climate models by monitoring the CO2 levels in the deepest layers of the sand on a beach in Bali . 

Honestly ( to use one of Peta Credlin's expressions )  ) I think that resorting to alternative  facts is not helping your argument when it comes to climate change .  Peta might have taken a better tack when she said  that she was " not in the mood "  to hear bad news about the climate , and reminded us that, as always , we  can rely on  " the market " to solve all our problems . 

 There are likely to be many media rants  about the climate in the coming weeks , especially with all the record fires and heatwaves north of the equator . But my advice is to ignore them and focus on something else .  Like "wokeness''  for example . The "woke " must be doing something annoying somewhere , and even if they have gone quiet for the moment it is easy enough to invent a story about them .   All you need is a " woke leftie " driving a car or flying somewhere and straight away you can fill a five minute time slot with sneers about hypocrisy . Admittedly that is not groundbreaking journalism  , but sometimes sticking to what you do well is the wisest strategy .

Your comrade , Ken
