If forests are not renewable, then nothing is renewable. This makes no sense. Source: Greta Thunberg on Twitter: “Climate strike week 233. #FridaysForFuture #ClimateStrike #ForestsAreNotRenewable https://t.co/IZN857fdjy” / Twitter
The Guardian goes off the deep end. Again. It begins with the idea that maybe instead of focusing on fear, doom and gloom hysteria for marketing “ClimateCrisis”, perhaps focusing on solutions would be a better approach (actual research supports that). But that idea is lost by the next paragraph and their columnist launches into a word salad of nonsense. Sorry, I didn’t think The Guardian propaganda rag could stoop lower but they just did.
The media loves the term “bomb cyclone”, a technical term from meteorology that sounds super scary. Most of the public has no idea what it means, and even with the official definition, it still is mostly meaningless to the public. But it sounds scary. And that’s the main point.

UPI puts out a typical fear inducing propaganda piece of climate change – and its wrong before they even get to the first paragraph.

But who needs accuracy when talking about climate change right? Just making stuff up encourages people to trust you, right?
With the oddities underway at Twitter now comes the release of a new film about the climate apocalypse, with 25% of the star power being Rep. AOC. It has not done well at the box office – in fact, this doesn’t even pay for distribution-less than $2,000/day at 120 theaters. Or $130 per day per theater. Ouch Source: To the End – Box Office Mojo
Climate hypocrites – they travel about the world with wild abandon while telling us we should not travel. This is how not to run a propaganda campaign and their hypocratic behavior, and not believing in what they are preaching, falls flat on the rest of us.
New paper notes climate models, and for that matter media attention is focused on the least likely scenarios – which are the worst case. But some say these worst-case scenarios are not physically possible, let alone likely. A direct consequence of much attention given to likely impossible scenarios is that 40% of young adults suffer from serious anxiety, scared of outcomes that are highly unlikely to develop.
Climate activists are working to reframe “climate change” to “climate pollution”.
This Axios news report makes the classic reporter error – providing percentage increases without every providing a starting value. Does a scary +100% mean something increased from 1 to 2? We have no way of knowing.
