.....is because almost all of its Environmental Correspondents and Environmental Editors are parti pris members of the Climate-Fear Promotion lobby.....
I would argue that the issue involves complexities that the average MSM writer cannot comprehend. Ignorance allows faith to overcome reason
Science, business, legislation -- lots of what reporters write about involves issues that reporters know little about. That's how these illegitimate relationships form.
The reporters cannot write intelligently about the issues unless knowledgeable insiders HELP them understand and HELP them write their articles. Check out the scientist/reporter emails in the NY Times thread.
The price for all this help and access, is that the reporter had better report in a way that pleases his "helpers" and sources, or he will find their help cut off. Much of current "reporting" is essentially reformatting of press releases from their sources.
I agree and I think part of the problem is that so many people trust the scientists on this because they assume that the scientific process is all that is driving this. The problem though, the way I see it anyways, is that so many scientists out there are working on govt funded grants for the purpose of research. If the scientists were to come out and report to the govt that AGW is not real, then the govt will stop the research on it and the scientists lose their govt funded job. They can’t all work for private companies. The incentive is for the outcomes of their research to show AGW is real so they can keep working on it for years and years and milk it for all it’s worth. There really is an air pollution problem in many cities that we could be working to solve but this AGW crap hurts that cause, it doesn’t help it. Those same scientist could have been working all this time on technologies to clean our environment but their efforts and the tax money spent will have been wasted once enough people catch on to this hoax. Sadly, this was never about cleaning up the environment and that’s a shame.
