Behind Climate Alarmism
Those of us who still pay attention to the mainstream media know that they have ratcheted up their climate-change propaganda, despite the fact that there is no global-warming “crisis.” In fact, the temperature record shows that the much-feared global warming has been on pause for more than 18 years now (see our article on page 21).
But you’d never know that if your only news sources are mainstream-media organs that increasingly spin scary scenarios — runaway warming, melting polar ice caps, rising oceans, more extreme weather, etc. — as settled science. There is a “scientific consensus,” the media mavens claim, despite the fact that many scientists disagree with the so-called consensus. But when the media deign to acknowledge the existence of these “skeptics” as opposed to ignoring them, they are increasingly denounced as “climate deniers.” And increasingly, the question is raised: Should climate denial be tolerated?
Considering the bias, it is not surprising the extent to which the media celebrated the recent United Nations climate summit in Paris. Nor is it surprising that they treated the UN event as if it were the only show in town, instead of taking the short transit ride to where the U.S.-based Heartland Institute sponsored an all-day event where climate realists presented evidence that the sky really is not falling. No, the media bloodhounds who should have picked up the scent of a good story about 10 miles away were content to serve instead as lap dogs for the UN propagandists, lapping up and regurgitating their news releases and sound-bytes.
