Climate Alarm On The Run, Part II
Issues & Insights ^ | 5 Jun, 2026 | I & I Editorial Board

Posted on 06/05/2026 7:23:43 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Another media global warming team has been terminated, this time the National Public Radio climate desk. This is what happens when “journalists” keep reporting about a dead horse. Eventually the public realizes the horse has perished and there’s nothing left to talk about. Or that there was no horse to begin with.

NPR is the third media outlet to rein it its diehard band of Democratic Party scribes dedicated to exaggerating climate fears, following the Washington Post and CBS News. The former was sawed roughly in half while the latter was, to our grand delight, “gutted.”

Unfortunately, taxpayer-funded radio won’t entirely stop yapping about a non-event, as, according to NPR chief climate editor Neela Banerjee, climate coverage will be “folded into the national desk.” But there will no longer be a separate section from which to harangue, screech and wail about the evils of the dominant driver of the world economy, the burning of fossil fuels for energy, while at the same time reaffirming NPR’s leftist listeners’ narrow and uninformed — yet ever sure of their “knowledge” — worldview.

In what the Media Research Center called “a somber eulogy for her eco-woke department,” Banerjee said she had “rarely been as inspired or happy as I was working with the nine other journalists on NPR’s Climate Desk, and I feel so very lucky to have helped you — and learned from you.”

What did she learn? What was she taught? What did she, as head of the climate desk, teach others?

We ask because the entire global warming narrative is based on disinformation, misinformation, junk science and raw, rotten politics that further the hard-left agenda the Democrats have adopted. That the NPR team was a “prize-winning enterprise,” as described by Banerjee, shows just where we are in today’s world of journalism —the prizes almost always go the reporters and outlets that are doing the best job of disseminating propaganda for the left.

The media have been primary offenders of climate nonsense, happily accepting without journalistic skepticism the claims made by Al Gore, the United Nations and countless others who have pushed a story filled with unnecessary alarmism, witch hunts, sermons, mob behavior and ruses designed to deflect attention away from the real goal: busting capitalism, consolidating political power, controlling population growth, exercising religious zealotry and finalizing the civilization-crushing revolution that the left has been agitating for for more than a half century.

So it’s rewarding to see their edifice built on deception and fearmongering begin to crumble. What for now looks like a drip will, we hope, turn into a cascade as the public begins to understand just how much it’s been manipulated by a media invested in deceit.

Right now they are using class warfare and white man (not women) supremacy.

Oh they’re not going to declare this horse to be dead, not by a long shot. Anything contrary to the orthodoxy is simple given a sad shake of the head and dismissed as denial of “the science”.

“Climate desks” are no longer needed now that the vast majority of “journalists” are thoroughly indoctrinated and work the topic into everything they write.

The wife and I were just enjoying the fact that two sci-fi movies we watched recently were based on the threat of planet extinction NOT caused by man made climate change!

One was Greenland (a comet).
The other was Project Hail Mary (some Sun-eating cells).

How refreshing!

Cons never give up the con. They will keep on pushing the Carbon hoax until they are pushing up daisies ( and, incidentally, release carbon dioxide as they decompose)

Don’t forget. Al Gore was out last month claiming global warming is going to bring about a sudden ice age very soon.

It’s hard to keep track. I must have lived through 20 doomsdays
