Sorry, Winkle, your post got lost amongst the mountain of rants from hexx (that boy does so enjoy swearing his way through this thread). So, to address your question directly:
1. BP are well known eco-scroungers. I know, it seems counter-intuitive, but actually many of the big, 'nasty' oil companies have invested huge amounts in 'greening' their credentials by getting themselves associated with various government climate change initiatives, particularly in BP's case with emergent carbon capture and sequestration technology.
2. The CBI have a vested interest in
pimping their nuclear agenda. Matthew Farrow was at the time of this seminar Head of Energy Planning at the CBI.
It's very easy to examine why each of the participants at the BBC sham seminar were there: either to push the pro-CAGW agenda, or to represent 'business interests'. More troubling is that on the full list of attendees we see that the BBC has felt the need to include representatives from Comedy, Drama, Childrens and Entertainment,
illustrating beyond all doubt that the BBC's pro-CAGW bias is a calculated, orchestrated manifesto within the bureaucracy, designed to permeate every level of the corporations output.
BBC attendees:Jana Bennett, Director of Television
Sacha Baveystock, Executive Producer, Science
Helen Boaden, Director of News
Andrew Lane, Manager, Weather, TV News
Anne Gilchrist, Executive Editor Indies & Events, CBBC

Also worth noting two names in particular on that list: Helen Boaden and one George Entwistle. Hmmm. Haven't I heard of them before..?
