The BBC, Raping the Enviornment...

...well, they do it to the truth, why not to the air we breathe? I wouldn't go so hard on them if they weren't so worked up about Kyoto, global warming, and all the other scare tactics the liberals use in an attempt to bring about a poorer, more destitute planet.

So while the BBC is beating off to Al Gore, and beating up on America, remember the following stats, brought to us by Biased BBC:

I put in a FOI request asking about the air miles the BBC fly, the carbon that this produces, and how the BBC offsets this. Get ready for some amazing numbers (all relate to the last reporting year):

Total UK domestic flights: 17 million miles
Total European flights: 14 million miles
Other flights: 94 million miles
Total air miles: 125 million
Total cost: £15,147,000


TOTAL CO2 EMISSIONS: 25,676,000 Kgs
TOTAL CO2 OFFSET: 0 kgs. Yes, 0 Kg.


The FOI document is here.

The BBC does have a lot in common with their reckless energy-wasting buddy Al Gore, I'd reckon...

Privitations for thee, but not for me...
