NewsBusters associate editor Noel Sheppard appeared on tonight's edition of the CNN Headline News show "Glenn Beck" where he discussed his recent exposé of the BBC being cowed by a radical environmentalist into removing information from a story about how global temperatures are declining, not rising as climate alarmists suggest.
Update: The show reruns at 9PM ET and midnight ET.
Update: The video is up now. It's pretty long. If you're familiar with the story already, fast-forward to the 7:00 mark to see Beck discuss it with Sheppard.

April 8, 2008 - 18:51 ET by suzycreamcheeseOoh, I love Glenn Beck. I'm reading his An Inconvenient Book right now and it's hilarious.
It's going to take years before the global warming nuts accept the truth about the environment. If ever.
LOL... I just posted on OT
April 8, 2008 - 18:57 ET by bigtimerLOL... I just posted on OT about this, I just watched it...great job Noel, I was watching show live...rest of my comments are on OT, which I posted right before this was here...you needed more time...you put everything succinctly in the time you did have though...I am so glad you are exposing this for what it is, and very glad Beck is too.
I had a feeling it would be you on this subject when I watched the show last night and he was talking about this very subject, I mentioned that to my husband and said you were all over this, and poof there you were.

Well, when Noel gets on Fox (which I think he's aiming for) that will do the trick for sure...especially if it's on BOR..that does Olbie in everytime!

April 8, 2008 - 19:21 ET by Chris Normanbt,
If Noel goes on O'Reilly, he'd better bring a crowbar to get a word in edgewise. That, or learn sign language - so he can "speak" while O'Reilly lectures him.
Chris...good points...I
April 8, 2008 - 19:25 ET by bigtimerChris...good points...I didn't even think of that...plus BOR is more of a greenie along with his wife if memory serves me right...well Fox and Friends would be a start then onto Wallace...he could skip BOR...still would make Olbie mad enough just it being Fox.
We got it all planned out for you Noel...heheheee

Btw...you looked very good tonight and more relaxed...I saw where you really got cut dress wise and such by some of the male species here last time on TV...I thought it amusing, coming from guys.

April 8, 2008 - 19:58 ET by Noel SheppardBT,
Okay, now I'm confused. Earlier you said "LMAO," and now "ROFL."
Forgive, but do women laugh their asses off, and roll on the floor laughing? I don't mean to sound sexist, but I'm not sure if I've ever witnessed either. :-) ns
Well you don't know what
April 8, 2008 - 20:02 ET by bigtimerWell you don't know what your missing Noel...now I'm just ROFLMAO!
By the way, I bet your wife is tickled as can be and proud as heck of you...your kids too.

You were, of course tongue in cheek, looking at these statements concerning laughter too literally. On the other hand, you bring up a very interesting point: if people laughed more, maybe they wouldn't have such big asses! :-) ns
Interesting theory, Noel...

Outstanding job!
April 8, 2008 - 22:32 ET by Wilbur747Just saw you on Glenn Beck. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I absolutley HATE this AGW/AGClimatechange/denier stuff. As you mentioned, this is an "infant science", thus we, as 'infants' should, as liberals always say, question authority. In this case, the "authority" is the IPCC, MSM, Algore, and the rest of the chicken littles.
But as we all know, the information that the MSM spews out will turn heads simply because people don't have the gumption (sp) to think for themselves. They always want somebody else to tell them what to think.
I can't help but I think back on on what Joseph Goebbels said about telling lies. "If you tell a lie long enough..." (paraprashing here)
Great job, Noel! I'm proud to be a member!
Noel,
April 8, 2008 - 21:34 ET by contraryNoel, I'm very happy you're on CNN bringing this story to light. A job well done! I hope Newsbusters will have a clip for me to watch later.

I hope NB has the video later...I missed it!
Deaf ears...
April 8, 2008 - 22:26 ET by Wilbur747While Glenn Beck has a huge number of fans, his show is still on the Clinton (Communist) News Network. Have you tried to contact the most watched cable news network...dare I say... Fox News?
While I know many of Fox's reporters are liberal, many are not and would welcome a fresh view on the issues.
I'd be thrilled to see you on FNC!
Congrats Noel on getting on
April 8, 2008 - 23:19 ET by wiwfCongrats Noel on getting on the show. You and Glenn really exposed this perfect example of media bias, thanks! :)

April 9, 2008 - 01:14 ET by m1xramLoved the show up until the end. Why do people take shots at heroes like McCarthy or the Swift Boat Veterans? I like people who tell the truth and do their job. Maybe Beck means "McCarthyism" as in what it has become rather than what actually occurred.

April 9, 2008 - 08:26 ET by BacchusGreat Job, Noel.
Beck nailed it too. In particular, I liked how he skewered this line, "As time goes by, the infant science of climatology improves."
The BBC is beneath contempt for its part. (Well, I guess I can always edit that comment if anyone threatens to make anything of it.)

Q: What does this line of code (javascript) do to a webpage?
The YouTube video of Noel on Glenn Beck is over 10 minutes long. If I read this code correctly, the home page is set to refresh every 8 minutes. Isn't that inconvenient?
That depends entirely on
April 9, 2008 - 08:43 ET by NL207That depends entirely on what the user defined expression, 'autoRefresh()', actually does. You are assuming based on its name that it refrshes the current page. It may actually be doing something else instead or in addition.

April 9, 2008 - 09:46 ET by BacchusHere's the whole script (if it displays properly):
Function is defined as {self.location.reload(true);}
This script was added to the homepage not that long ago, and it's bitten me a few times already.
I sent a note about it to the technical problems email address a while back.

Hi Matt: Then what's the
April 9, 2008 - 10:55 ET by BacchusHi Matt: Then what's the point of having any videos on the homepage if they won't - or even might not - play all the way through? A ten minute video with an eight minute autorefresh? It doesn't work. Hey, I'm just giving you guys user feedback, that whole user experience thing, you know.
I'm sure I'll be able to live with whatever comes of it.
BTW, I just clicked on the new rapper video (impulsively, I admit) and it got caught up in an autorefresh too. Argh. Grin.
Autorefresh wastes bandwidth
April 9, 2008 - 19:26 ET by PopularTechYou are better off having a check box at the top of the page or in your personal options that people can select to enable this feature and save it via a cookie, setting this to autoenabled for every visitor wastes bandwidth. You should also block fasterfox requests.
This will improve the web page performance when you are having a lot of traffic which makes the page inaccessible.
