The Coordinated Climate Change "Narrative"

I'm not surprised since you cant debate properly.


The marketplace will turn again, once people realize that this climate change green tech is all a scam. The truth comes out eventually, and the fools will be exposed. The only issue is how many people will get gypped before they realize theyve been had.

I've learned that the first way to determine where the Climatists stand is to ask if they know anything about Maurice Strong.

If all I get back is a "blank stare" t's clear they have no clue what the real story of "global warming" is.
 
Really?

Then why is their founder on the Heartland Institute payroll?

He's not. From the FAQ's at WUWT:

[FONT=&quot]Q. What about that $44,000 that supposedly came from the Heartland Institute that was written about by document thief Dr. Peter Gleick?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A. First, that didn’t come from Heartland, it came from an independent donor that Heartland helped me find through their networking.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Second, that was specifically for a special project my company is doing to make data from the Climate Reference Network more widely available and easier to view for the layman. Currently NOAA does not include the state of the art Climate Reference Network data in their monthly State of the Climate Reports, even though it is a superior system. More about this here.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The project was to be funded to completion in 2012, but due to interference by Gleick, that second phase funding seems unlikely to materialize. That said, an effort is being made to complete the project sans that second half funding. Preliminary output maps were highlighted on WUWT here. Year end data for 2012 was announced here. The second phase was to be completed in 2013, and it is hoped that can be done and the finished fully automated website made fully operational and public then.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Q. Aren’t you paid to go to Heartland conferences?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]A. Yes, and that’s nothing any different from what any other organization does. Like any other invited speaker at a conference, trade show, or conclave, Heartland pays a small honorarium and travel expenses for people they invite to speak at their conferences. For example, Dr. Scott Denning, a scientist who is on the opposite side of the climate debate from me who has spoken at Heartland conferences, got the same honorarium and travel reimbursements that I did. (Update: as of 4/4/2019 I am now listed as a “senior fellow” of Heartland, which means I will be writing and contributing op-ed pieces they will distribute)[/FONT]
 
The argument here seems to be about WUWT. Why? Because they present one side of the story?
We know they do. So what? Just exactly what is the story? Truth out, Common Dreams, Move on
dot org, Mother Jones or any other lefty site isn't going to tell the same story that WUWT tells.

Stunned By Trump, The New York Times Finds Time For Some Soul-Searching

That's a link to a report/opinion piece by some guy I never heard of named Michael Cieply
in some web page/media outlet that calls it self "Deadline" that I never heard of either.

Some interesting quotes:

By and large, talented reporters scrambled to match stories with what internally was
often called “the narrative.” We were occasionally asked to map a narrative for our
various beats a year in advance, square the plan with editors, then generate stories
that fit the pre-designated line.

“My editor needs someone to say such-and-such, could you say that?”

The bigger shock came on being told, at least twice, by Times editors who were describing
the paper’s daily Page One meeting: “We set the agenda for the country in that room.”​

Wikipedia says:

"Michael Cieply (born 1951) is an entertainment industry writer, first for The Wall Street
Journal and then for Talk magazine and as a media correspondent for The New York Times.
Here he covers Hollywood for the media desk. He joined The New York Times in 2004, as
a movie editor."

Here's the link to the claimed 380 word email text:

Covering Climate Now

The money quote:

Our ask of you is simple: commit to a week of focused climate coverage this September.
We are organizing news outlets across the US and abroad—online and print, TV and audio,
large and small—to run seven days of climate stories from September 16 through the
climate summit UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres hosts in New York September 23.
The stories you run are up to you, though we can offer ideas and background information
and connect outlets looking for content with content providers looking for outlets.
If something needs to be torn apart, it's those two links. I suppose we need to wait until
September to find out if there actually is a media propaganda blitz.
