@BBC is well aware that scientists say we are in a Climate Emergency.

However, according to the rules, they are not allowed to use the words 'Climate Emergency' in 99% of their articles.

The Director of Complaints 'said, "I understand why you think we're covering it up, but we have not breached our standards. We issued a Freedom of Information request to see their guidance they issue to presenters on how they tackle climate change...

'and the BBC refused to release it quoting an exemption under the Act of Journalism, and they also said if you get this exemption overturned then another exemption may apply.'

'It's got to be National Security, it's the only other exemption that's open to them. So I think it IS government, and it IS working with the BBC.'
