How Billionaires Fill the Media With Climate Fear and Panic
Daily Sceptic ^ | 20 December 2022 9:00 AM | Chris Morrison

Recently I reported that the Mirror had run a nonsense story about much of London disappearing beneath the waves within 80 years. I noted that this was not the handiwork of a crack team of investigative reporters, but rather the placed work of a U.S. green activist group called Climate Central. This operation specialises in ready-to-publish climate change material highlighting local landmarks allegedly due to disappear beneath the waves. Similar tactics are used by another activist group spreading fear and alarm called Covering Climate Now (CC Now). This operation is run out of the Columbia Journalism Review in New York, and is backed by the Nation and the U.K. Guardian. Both operations rely heavily on large gifts from Left-leaning U.S. foundations.

CC Now was started in 2019 and claims to feed over 500 media operations with written stories and climate narratives. Its “partners” include some of the biggest names in news publishing such as Reuters, Bloomberg, Agence France-Presse (AFP), CBS News, ABC News and MSNBC News. Leading journals are said to include Rolling Stone, Huff Post and Teen Vogue. The founders seek a “reframing” of the way journalists cover climate change. What this means in practice is amplifying an invented ‘climate emergency’ by constant story catastrophisation, while denying any inconvenient science. The political aim is the promotion of the command-and-control Net Zero agenda.

Your correspondent’s advice: When you next see an identikit climate Armageddon story in the mainstream media, just laugh. You will be the sanest person in the room.


Concluding paragraph.

Laugh outload so libs can hear you.

“”Laugh out loud so libs can hear you.””

Just imagine life in the middle of the next Ice Age. The people watching The Comedy Channel will have laugh after laugh watching AlGore and his minions stating “the Earth has a fever.”

A common sense judge in England ruled that if the schools were going to use the AlGore movie, they had to point out all the lies and errors. Imagine watching that crap during the next Ice Age, hah!

But remember above all, the gummit takes your money or piles it on the debt and gives it to someone else.

Redistribution of wealth is all it is, something the feds have been doing for decades as finally something stuck with the aid of the MSM.

The most realistic sea level change estimate predicts about a foot rise in hundred years.
Easy to take care about or simply ignore!
What cannot be ignored is the massive damage done by the “problem solving”!

The problem for the Chicken Littles is that the seas haven’t risen at all - including during the period of industrialization with few climate safeguards. I live near a tidal river; there has been no change.

They take the natural erosion of some low-lying islands in the Indian Ocean (which wouldn’t even be inhabited in the West) and call it “rising oceans”...

Yes.
The biggest argument for me is that Al Gore, Obama, Kennedy’s and Kerry all have mansions on the sea shore!
If they were so certain, they would not buy them.
As a matter of fact, my close family has a house about 200 ft above the sea. They hope to have seashore property sometimes!😊😊

That’s a great point that shouldn’t be ignored; our 1%ers don’t behave as though they believe it at all.
