Big Media has officially dropped all pretense at
objectivity in reporting. It's the "Covering Climate Now" initiative.
The NJ Star-Ledger, my newspaper, has not surprisingly joined the project, so
I’m getting a daily dose of Leftist climate change “news”. Here’s the New
Jersey Star-Ledger announcing
its participation in the project:
On September 23, world leaders will gather at the United Nations
in New York to decide how global society will deal with one of the most
far-reaching problems we face today: Climate Change.
That meeting is the United Nations Climate Action
Summit, and it is set to be a
landmark event in which the nations of the world will submit their plans to
meet the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.
NJ Advance Media, the journalistic engine behind NJ.com and The
Star-Ledger, is joining more than 170 other media outlets across the globe for
an initiative called Covering
Climate Now.
The goal of the project — which is led by The Guardian, The Nation
and Columbia
Journalism Review — is to have a week’s
worth of climate coverage leading up to the international summit. Stories will
run online, in newspapers, on television and on radio.
CNN/Business is more in keeping with the
catastrophist agenda. It
reported:
What is it? An initiative to provide focused coverage of the climate crisis in print, on air and
online.
Participating news outlets are running stories in the run-up to
the UN Climate Action Summit on September 23. The organizers hope to keep it
going well past this month. [emphasis added]
MORE THAN 170 NEWS OUTLETS from around the world with a combined
audience of hundreds of millions of people have now signed up for Covering
Climate Now, a project co-founded by CJR and The Nation aimed at strengthening
the media’s focus on the climate crisis. [emphasis added]
How do I know it's a propaganda campaign? The
tip-off is the term "climate crisis"--which is not a
fact but a power-seeking
political tactic of statist interests
from Environmentalists to socialists. The climate crisis scenario is
dishonestly being run as news, not editorial opinion, and will likely continue
with increasing intensity and panic-mongering hysteria up to the 2020 United
States presidential election.
The fact is, the tying of climate/weather extremes to climate change is a deliberate political strategy. As Roger Pielke Jr. reported in March of 2024:
However, what I find really interesting about Nordhaus’ essay [ Did Exxon Make it Rain Today?] is his discussion of how we got to a point where leading journalists and scientists are seeking to deny these rather obvious conditions and instead, to focus obsessively on human-caused climate change, and specifically on the fossil fuel industry as bearing responsibility for increasing disaster costs, contrary to an overwhelming scientific consensus.
Nordhaus explains that climate advocates have a long history of trying to tie disasters to climate change, dating back decades:
Those efforts intensified after Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005, with Al Gore using it as a centerpiece in An Inconvenient Truth.3 A few years later, in 2012, the Union of Concerned Scientists convened a gathering of environmental advocates, litigators, climate scientists, and opinion researchers in La Jolla, California. Their explicit purpose was to develop a public narrative connecting extreme weather events that were already happening, and the damages they were causing, with climate change and the fossil fuel industry.
This campaign to condition (brainwash?) the public is to make it easier to convince the public to swallow the increasingly authoritarian policies allegedly designed to “fight climate change.”
