BBC Rethinking Global Warming?

Two stories suggest that the UK's chief global warming promoter, the BBC, may be rethinking its positions:

• What would the UK do if it snowed this much every year? - a story about what might happen if the UK gets this much snow every year, presumably due to global warming not actually happening
• The BBC is spending money to investigate whether it is biased about global warming. This is quite comical, since the answer is obvious. 

As the Daily Mail says:

Even the BBC Trust is waking up to the idea there are two
sides to every story and has belatedly ordered an inquiry into whether
or not the Corporation's 'global warming' coverage is biased.

Let me save them the time, trouble and expense: yes, it is.

And just for the record here is the view out my back door 5 minutes ago.

So what would weather in the UK be like if the world climate changes so that the gulf stream effect is reduced or turned off?

Oh, wait a sec, wouldn't that mean Britain would get colder and winters become longer and more severe?

That gulf stream one was debunked long ago. I like this though:

The former chief scientific adviser David King, for example, insisted that the 2003 European summer heatwave was a “climate change event” while dismissing other phenomena such as the ongoing expansion of Antarctic sea ice (which looks to me far more like a climate change event albeit just regional to the Antarctic) as just natural short-term variation.
