BBC Rules That Wi-Fi Radiation Findings Were Wrong

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday December 4, 2007 @05:03AM from the gee-that's-unexpected dept.

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.'"

Is anybody else suprised by this? To be honest, I think it's just just a farce. Yeah, sure the situation could have been better implemented but at least we know we're safe!

A broadcast station issuing a ruling. Sir William the scientist. I'll think I'll get a pint at the pub, govnr', then to the loo and then pop home on the lorry, chap.

It's just the world's last rational people mounting a vanguard action against enviro-collectivists. Don't trouble yourself about it.

I'm actually lying in bed, sucking down nyquil, and watching LOTR.

So, don't taze me, bro!

(Oh, global warming, imagination, figment of, one each...)
