It appears Jo Abbess was upset that the original article by Harrabin (which he has quietly edited) would add to a growing body of skepticism when more people wake up to the fact there has been no net global warming since 1998. So she demanded Harrabin change his piece - and she got her wish. She is not a scientist. She is not a climatologist. She is just an activist who has latched onto a cause to believe in and obsess about. Yet despite her lack of qualification she has manged to make the BBC News change one of its articles. She was so pleased, she leaked the email exchanges to show other climate change activists what they can achieve when they put a bit of pressure on their sympathisers at the BBC.
