Default What ever became of David Bellamy?

Perhaps a case of his "face didn't fit"?

Disco Dave



That aside, good for him for speaking out.
Shame on the Beeb and all the other orgs for shunning him.

We are a brainwashed nation.....

He is a global warming sceptic consequently the BBC wont touch him.

he does talk to his plants though

"Who cares if they’ve put me on the back burner? I can still talk to my flowers, which are all fine and growing amazingly and say, “Thank you very much, David!”

Thing is, David Bellamy is better qualified to not beieve in it than the idiots at the BBC, the spitter in London and most of the rest of the 'global warming' conspirators are qualified to peddle it.

Bellamy is another Great British eccentric, we need more people like him to brighten our lives up.
I am sure that he knows what he's talking about and he's not afraid to keep off the 'Look how green we are' bandwagon.

He was an entertaining character and I always enjoyed his programmes. Sorry he has not been around these days.

He had the temerity to say that he did not believe in the global warming conspiracy and consequently was hammered by those who desperately wanted to con us that it was happening for their own purposes.

Now we have been told that there has been no global warming for some 16 years he has been proved right. Hope he returns to the airwaves.

It is significant that they now call it "Climate Change" but they cannot tell us why it is supposed to be changing now of course. The con continues naturally!

The Met Office this month downgraded its forecast for global warming to suggest that by 2017 temperatures will have remained about the same for two decades.

The Lord told me, Les.

Either that or possibly the fact that Bellamy has been snubbed for the last decade or so by the Beeb due to his one word conclusion to the global warming debate. My post was highlighting that the term Poppycock seems rather justified in light of the Mets latest figures.

Whetrher it's poppycock or not is open to debate and that is exactly the point. What right do the BBC who are funded by our taxes have to decide it definitely exists as that is obviosuly what they have done?

Somewhere down the line it will no doubt come back to government taxation as no global warming = no 'green' taxes!

They are all in this together!!

Have you?

I guess you must of as you keep stating that temps haven't increased in 16 years. I'd like to see what you are basing this assertion on.

No I mustn't have, what I have done is to read the published reports by the scientists who probably were shouting about global warning because of an incorrect temperature reading on one of their temperature measuring balloons and who now admit that there has actually been no significant global warming for all that time and also that there is unlikely to be any in the years ahead quoted by them.

Before you start shooting your mouth off, I suggest that you do the same! Its less embarrassing.

To quote you from a different thread...'You are using the thread as an excuse to air your personal feelings.'

This 'science' you refer to has been thoroughly debunked.

I suggest you try reading more than one side of the argument in future...before you go shooting you mouth off

AGW ( global warming ) is the largest con ever pulled on the public.

and there is a vast amount of cash flowing because of it "they" want to keep it that way
as long as they can.

the deluded suckers who fell for it want to keep it going to save face.

and Al Gore is laughing all the way to the bank.

ANYone who calls it out for the crap it is on MSM gets squashed, Mr Bellamy
was one of the first which is a shame i enjoyed his work.
