Media driven global warming panic declares a hudna but insists that it’s still winning the fight.
Good news: Global warming to take a little break for the next, er, decade
Average temperatures in areas such as California and France may drop over the next 10 years, influenced by colder flows in the North Atlantic, said a report today by the institution based in Kiel, Germany. Temperatures worldwide may stabilize in the period.
The long war against media driven climate change continues. Since the New York Times insisted, back in 1895, that the world was freezing and we were in danger of a new ice age, there have been four more climate scares. From the turn of the century to the 1920s, the media reported that the world threatened to freeze. After a brief pause in hostilities, the media declared that the world was angrily heating up again, from 1933 until well into the 1950s. Then a brief pause in fighting was implemented so that the media could thank God that Google hadn’t yet been invented.
By the 1970s, the truce ended and it was announced that “a major cooling widely considered to be inevitable.” Opposition forces allied with the media instituted Earth Day in 1970. Still, people fought back and our side prevailed for a while – until the 1980s when it seemed the only cure for global warming would be nuclear winter. By the late 1990s, some people began to realize that these reports seemed vaguely familiar. Why, they wondered, did the media keep reporting opposite climate scares? They began to join the fight, carefully deconstructing faulty computer models and pointing out serious problems with weather station data only to be viciously attacked and called “deniers.”
The time between battles in this long war keeps getting shorter, and soon we may be in a constant state of combat with panicky “Bagdad Bob” media coverage over every change in the weather.
Oh, wait. We’re already there.
