Background to how I came to co-present (with Hannah Fry and David Spiegelhalter) the BBC documentary "Climate Change By Numbers" and why it turned out to be pure climate catastrophe propaganda.
Islamic Republic of Iran is based on crime and fraud and any word or image that challenges the regime is labeled as false information, and this is codified into law to penalize and imprison critical thinkers and those who voice opposition to state fraud and crimes.
Islamic Republic learning from the UK now (no wonder the U.K. Government refuses to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation)…..
The public must remain vigilant and critical of information about important topics such as the environment. Not all information presented as fact is accurate. A lot is politics and fraud.
GLOBAL WARMING: Producers of the BBC documentary Climate Change By Numbers have admitted it was a complete lie designed as climate alarmist propaganda.
Central banks are instruments of government control; they should be cancelled so that the people can thrive financially in a free market where prices, interest rates, and economic dynamics are determined organically.
