At The Conversation their associations and conflicts of interest are clearly stated in the sidebar. Here are the connections:, a science news outlet, has a contributing partner, The Conversation, which is a basic “opinion page” outlet for academics, despite their pledge to “ Inform public debate with knowledge-based journalism that is responsible, ethical and supported by evidence” the only qualifications “To be published by The Conversation you must be currently employed as a researcher or academic with a university or research institution.” The Conversation, as an organization, is a partner of Covering Climate Now, the dedicated climate alarm propaganda organization.įour authors, academics, write an Opinion piece at The Conversation. While almost nothing in those two paragraphs is literally true, I have no objection to the authors stating it, since they were writing their Opinion, originally published at The Conversation. Between 20, an extensive United Nations review process determined that limiting warming to 2 degrees C this century cannot avoid dangerous climate change.“ The 1.5 degrees C limit wasn’t plucked from thin air-it was informed by the best available science.
The were backed by other climate-vulnerable nations and a coalition of high-ambition countries. The inclusion of the 1.5 degrees C warming limit came after a long push by vulnerable, small-island and least developed countries for whom reaching that goal is their best chance for survival.
“The Paris Agreement was adopted by 195 countries in 2015. The bottom line assertion of the story is this: The story posted at is “ The 1.5-degree global warming limit is not impossible-but it soon will be” by Bill Hare, Carl-Friedrich Schleussner, Joeri Rogelj and Piers Forster. is a unit of Science X and touts itself as “ internet news portal provides the latest news on science”. On, Tallbloke’s Talkshop highlighted a story that appeared in PHYS.ORG. They do this through their story sharing efforts. One of the techniques CCNow is using is the intentional blurring of the lines between Opinion and hard, factual Science News. This is the stated purpose of Covering Climate Now - see my earlier essay The Climate Propaganda Cabal . Richard Alan Nelson, in his book A Chronology and Glossary of Propaganda in the United States, provides a definition of the term: “Propaganda is neutrally defined as a systematic form of purposeful persuasion that attempts to influence the emotions, attitudes, opinions, and actions of specified target audiences for ideological, political or commercial purposes through the controlled transmission of one-sided messages (which may or may not be factual) via mass and direct media channels.”
That’s how propaganda is intended to work – and work it does. “Īny moderately educated, well-read human being, and any human possessing even a modicum of common sense, knows that this message is inherently somehow false – but because of the constant barrage of messages repeating the meme endlessly, everywhere they look, many people have begun to think, despite their instincts and intellect, that it just might be true. Failure to slash the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will make the extraordinary heat, storms, wildfires, and ice melt of 2020 routine and could ‘render a significant portion of the Earth uninhabitable’. To preserve a livable planet, humanity must take action immediately. The Climate Propaganda Cabal, which calls itself Covering Climate Now (CCNow), is a fantastically, frighteningly, effective organization that is flooding the print and online news media with a single message: “The climate emergency is here.
