BBC Rules That Wi-Fi Radiation Findings Were Wrong

Stony Stevenson writes "A Panorama programme claiming that Wi-Fi creates three times as much radiation as mobile phone masts was 'misleading', an official BBC complaints ruling has found. The team involved in the research came under fire from the school where the 'investigations' were held for scaremongering, but now the BBC has come out with an official ruling. 'The programme included only one contributor (Professor Repacholi) who disagreed with Sir William, compared with three scientists and a number of other speakers (one of whom was introduced as a former cancer specialist) who seconded his concerns.'"

      Human induced climate change is bunk at our current expression of energy.

      I believe as do 50% of the scientific community with the credentials to render an opinion on this is that human technological output is dwarfed by natural forces-

      volcanism and all the polutants emitted in one eruptive event typically dwarf decades of human industrial output and has historically been proven to have altered the climate

      other complex and dynamic earth processes like earth wobble which causes variations in the seasons and average temperatures, weather patterns etc

      solar radiation is said to be felt at the far reaches of the solar system where voyager 1 and 2 are approaching (termination shock) but is conveniently denied by the GW enthusiasts as to having any role in Global Warming and this is simply laughable

            Face it, man Made Global warming is the latest attempt by the AWOL, Association of the Worlds Opinionated Leftists seated in the UN, to subdue western economies so they can play catch up at our expense (while using our Foreign Aid against us) as we voluntarily submit to plunging our econmies into deep recessions if not a depression the likes never seen as our economies contract from self imposed regulations to curb industry which ultimately will do nothing for Global Warming if it exists at all.

      If you think this information is the result of Trolling, then you hopefully have stock in Kool Aid since you have consumed enough to drive up the price.
