´óÏó´«Ã½

The ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s job is to educate, inform and entertain.

Lots of things are disputed all the time, but the ´óÏó´«Ã½ has no real difficulty in educating and informing us (often in an entertaining way) without deciding it must seek some sort of artificial balance—why does global warming need to be any different?

I think we have gone past the stage where we ask whether the earth is in trouble or not. Perhaps nothing is more obvious in this 21st century than the fact that our planet is undergoing serious changes due to human actions. This is clearly evident in the level of temperature rise.
Perhaps my argument has taken us through the three stages already. Am one of those who strongly agree that human actions play a significant role in the sorry state of the global environment. Am aware that there is a global argument on the extent of blame that could be placed on humans with regards to global warming. The controversy does not solve the problems of continuous thawing of ice, flooding, shrinking of forests, desertification, etc.
What is to me, realistic to do is to seek for ways, as a global effort, to arrest the global environmental crises facing our generation. It's high time we looked into how we can disseminate valuable information, and environmental awareness globally, on how to avert any further strain on our seemingly fragile planet. In this regard, poorer nations are more at risk, especially in Africa. Substantial awareness in this regard is necessary, this is a function of the media. ´óÏó´«Ã½, it's your duty to create this awareness and help save the planet.

Is it the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s job to save the planet? - Of course it is. In fact, it is everyone's job. One can doubt about climate change, but no one can doubt about pollution.

It is not the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s job to save the Planet! Its job is to provide unbiased facts that enable its listeners and viewers to make their own decisions. If the ´óÏó´«Ã½ wishes to broadcast specific views about a particular subject, it should clearly state so and give air/viewing time to those with opposing views.

All media model the behavior and send out the messages that will either continue the careless waste of resources and environmental destruction or foster sustainable growth and consumption. You have your work cut out for you with all those services like FOX TV, and other such ilk owned by Rupert Murdoch which promote the former behavior. I hope you are there for the latter.

Hello there.
To the question:is it the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s job to save the planet?, my answer is directlty and definitely yes. This endangered planet is our planet and as such,requires from each and every one dwelling on it to act the way they can to save it. ´óÏó´«Ã½ through some of its programmes like one planet ( a beacon among other progrmames)is playing its part in a global action against global warming. So yes it is bbc's job to save the planet as it is your and my job to save this planet in jeopardy.
Congratulations Marc Williams and all the team
Thanks

It is not the job of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to save the planet. The job of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is to provide the platform for others to pool together ideas to save the planet. It should be a goal of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to provide the best most impartial platform in the world for public speaking. It is not the role of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ to censor who contributes. The role of the ´óÏó´«Ã½ is to remain impartial while preventing outright abuse and serious breaches of conduct agreed by the contributers and host together. The blog is a up to date version of the ancient public agora.

If its not the ´óÏó´«Ã½s job to save the planet the who is responsible?
