Two weeks ago we learned from several vaunted MSM sites that a global team of more than 11,000 scientists from over 150 countries officially declared that the world is in a “climate emergency.” This was according to a new paper that was published in the journal Bioscience.
NBC News was at the forefront of this media coverage. NBC News noted that an “international consortium of more than 11,000 scientists is backing a study with a dire warning: Earth is facing a climate emergency.” USA Today further intoned, “This is the first time a group of scientists have come together to use the word “emergency” in regards to climate change.”
Today more than 15,000 signatories exist on the website making this claim. The problem? This is fake news. There was no study published. What was published was a press release by BioScience where random people could add their name to support the press release. This fact could be uncovered by a cub reporter while eating lunch.
Most of the signatories were not scientists. Some weren’t even real people. Among the “scientists” who signed on were Mouse, Mickey, of the Mickey Mouse Institute for the Blind in Nambia; Albus Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts; and Araminta Aardvark from the University of Neasden (which doesn’t exist).
Where were the fact-checkers for NBC News and USA Today? Obviously they were nowhere to be seen. Of course, they weren’t the only “news sites” that published this. Why?
As Al Gore has demonstrated, climate alarmism is the biggest scam in the history of the world. Gore has made millions off this scam. Supporting such fake claims with “thousands of scientists” is the media’s attempt to get public support for top-down controls over the public sphere. It also weaves in with the idea that PDJT is foolish if not corrupt for pulling America out of the ridiculous Paris climate agreement. The media along with their corrupt allies in the Democratic Party want to get PDJT out of the Oval Office as soon as possible. If this helps, then they are all in for it.
Keep this clear, continuing bias on the part of the media in mind as you sift through coverage of the “impeachment” witch hunt going on in Washington.
