This article sounds like a college sophomore trying to explain Propaganda 101.

They should at least give credit to Adolph or Stalin—masters of the craft.

Nitpick. He is not a British MP. He is a Russian-British comedian, podcaster, writer and social commentator who speaks perfect English. He spent his childhood years in the former Soviet Union. He was speaking to the Oxford Union.

At work I always respond with “You first.” Then proceed to point out all the ways they are not following their own advice. They usually leave but never see their own hypocrisy. At least they stop talking to me for a while.

From the notes about the author: "Susan Joy Hassol is director of Climate Communication, a non profit science and outreach project. She is an award-winning climate change communicator, analyst and author who has been making complex issues accessible to policy makers and the public for more than 30 years."

Please note, she's a climate change communicator, analyst and author, no mention of a degree in climatology.

Mastery of calculus, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, thermodynamics and heat transfer allowed us to use oil, gas and coal which elevated the world standard of living and life expectancy to heights never seen before in the history of man. It’s as simple as that.

“..Mastery of calculus, physics, chemistry, metallurgy, thermodynamics and heat transfer allowed us to use oil, gas and coal which elevated the world standard of living and life expectancy to heights never seen before in the history of man. It’s as simple as that....”

^THIS^
All done and brought forth by nasty old white men (racists?) so therefore, everything they did has to be evil and/or a lie.
Ya gotta just love the insanity of the liberal mind... They’re a real piece of work.

It doesn’t matter what words they use. First, they need to stop lying.

An excellent in depth interview with Jordan Peterson and Richard Lindzen. One of the world’s most esteemed climate scientists tells us why climate change is a scam.

“… To inspire people, we need to tell a story not of sacrifice and deprivation but of opportunity and improvement in our lives, our health and our well-being—a story of humans flourishing in a post-fossil-fuel age.”

Hysterical. They’ve noticed that deprivation isn’t popular so they are ready to try to convince us deprivation is actually “improvement”.

Scientific American used to be a respectable publication. All things must pass.
