How media over-represents 15 times climatosceptiks fake science

[Alan Klein]

Scientists are going to show man-made light shows and movies to  coral reefs to help them grow during damaging global warming.  These PhD's must be running out of research money and need another government grant to feed their families.  You can't make this stuff up.

People don't believe in climate change because movie stars don't know what they are talking about?

DiCaprio has 80 million followers on his social media.  These people don't know who the Vice President of the US is.  But they know DiCaprio.  Trust me.  They believe everything he says.  So what if his photo of the Amazon burning is from 1989.  Dimwits.

So therefore you deny climate change? I don't keep up with how many followers DiCaprio has on social media, but I am glad you are on top of it.

And another 80 millions are Trump's followers. Half of them also don't know who the Vice President is.

These last exchanges seem to confirm Alan that you agree with the issue initially reported that media needs to provide a coverage that reflects more truthfully the views expressed by the large majority of specialists? In other words that the coverage given to those denying man driven climate change is clearly exaggerated.

This sounds like a wonderful way to close this thread, we finally agree!

Cheers,

To relieve some stress, it’s useful to note NASA analysis concludes Amazonian fires are at about the 15 year average. It doesn’t make it good, but it’s context the media seems to be failing to provide. Why? is a reasonable question.

You're right of course.  160 million people walking around in a daze.

Don;t close the thread.  We're having too much fun.

What a wonderful Orwellian/Goebelsian approach: create a lie, then force it down everyone’s throat using media. No dissent allowed.

Because DiCaprio said so.  He doesn't want the world to think natural things happen naturally or regular things happen regularly.

Being from East Europe under the Soviets makes you familiar with how that works.  Of course, propaganda works all over the world.  The problem here is you have media in cahoots with politicians even though there's no force.

[Alan Klein]

Democrats running scared over climate change issue.  Maybe they're just realizing it's a phony issue.

We (Yugoslavia) were never under Soviets.

P.S. Alan, you are forcing me to join team Jeremy 

[Alan Klein]

Sorry about that.  On the other hand, you were a lot closer than most people on this thread; next door.  So you're more familiar with their propaganda style and procedures.

It IS a reasonable question.  That fact surprised me, too.

I wonder why they have put it as a top item on the G7 agenda?

Politics. They're trying to make their bones to the public as environmentalists.  Next thing you'll see is them down in Brazil throwing a bucket of water on the fire.
