Surprise! Leftwing Pressure Groups Conspire with Propaganda Media to Fill the Airwaves with Fake Climate Panic Stories
The climate panic story they invented and pushed for Easter was "climate change is making chocolate more expensive."Ahead of the Easter weekend, multiple media outlets reported that chocolate prices are soaring, and according to the coverage, the main culprit driving the inflating costs is climate change. Across multiple platforms, the reports followed a similar message, using similar language to describe the problem and its causes -- and the reports all came out the same week. "Easter egg prices soar as cocoa crops are hit by climate crisis and exploitation," the Guardian reported on Good Friday. The article blames the shortage of cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, on rising prices of fertilizers, deforestation, illegal mining practices and "extreme weather events." The article doesn't provide any details on these alleged events, but it does mention El Niño, which is a warming of the ocean surface in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. It causes changes in weather patterns during the cycle. This cycle was recorded long before carbon dioxide emissions were a factor in the atmosphere. An National Public Radio segment, which also ran on Good Friday, interviewed its business correspondent, who said "farmers there [in the Ivory Coast and Ghana] have been facing extreme weather, changing climate patterns, which have just decimated crop harvests." NPR provided no data or sourcing for the environmental claims. Writing in The Conversation, reporter Jack Marley's headline suggests that climate change "may" be the culprit, and he then goes on to write that "food production globally is facing an increasingly hostile climate." While African cocoa farmers in 2023 may have had a bad year, crop data doesn't show any downward trends in African yields. Between 2007 and 2022, cocoa yields actually went up. This is true for many crops in many regions across the world, including rice, soybeans, wheat and corn. This data is easy to find, but not a single article on rising chocolate prices in any of these media outlets mentioned this mitigating data. Marley didn't respond to questions if he was aware of this data or if he ever sought it out. Shaping a uniform narrative The Guardian, NPR and The Conversation are among the hundreds of media outlets associated with or listed as partners with an organization called Covering Climate Now (CCN), which encourages reporters to insert "climate crisis" narratives into all their stories.Read the whole thing at Just the News. BTW, I barely slept last night and I'm really phoning it in today. It's basically a sick day where I (barely) show up for work.
Covering Climate Now boasts partnerships with hundreds of major media outlets across the world. According to CCN, its partners have a combined audience of 2 billion people -- one-fourth of the globe's population -- in 57 countries. The group provides advice to reporters on all beats to not only insert a "climate crisis" narrative into every beat, but also how to cover the topic. This includes telling journalists not to platform what it calls "denialists," which includes anyone who "ridicules" climate activists or suggests that climate change is not producing a global emergency. The site is full of tips on what language to use, how to write headlines and suggested stories for journalists to cover, all in line with an anti-fossil message. It suggests avoiding "fake experts." To determine the value of experts a reporter might interview, CCN points them to the activist website DeSmog, which demonizes anyone, even those on the left, who in any way dispute the "climate crisis" narrative. The Covering Climate Now section on solutions to what it says is an indisputable crisis leaves no room for fossil fuel use, even though experts say that rapidly eliminating them is not only unrealistic, it would necessitate the collapse of civilization. ... The organization encourages reporters to make statements attributing "extreme weather" to climate change, even in the absence of any data to support the claims. "Even in the absence of explicit attribution data, it's accurate to say that climate change is making extreme weather more common and more severe," CCN tells its partnered media organizations. It then provides tips for language journalists can use to blame "extreme weather" on climate change for any story.

I think cocoa demand is going up quickly as more and more people in Asia can afford it.
Not that journalists can be expected to understand supply and demand.
I have also seen articles claiming that demand will outstrip the supply, again written by people who don't understand how prices work.

So, I'm going through something similar right now.
The monster films by Ishiro Honda are almost all anti-nuclear. Outright anti-nuclear.
And the deeper I get into his filmography, the more ridiculous the effects of nuclear radiation are supposed to be. In The H-Man, nuclear radiation turns people into goo monsters who dissolve other people when they touch them.
That's just ridiculous, but it's tied to this anti-nuclear stance in the film. Does that help or hurt the idea that nuclear energy is bad?
I think that, in the long run, it hurts because it leads people to become dismissive of anti-nuclear arguments. "Oh, you're one of those people who think that nuclear bombs are going to wake up dinosaurs, or something."

Remember when the banks started failing and the government decided they were to big to fail, and they "bailed out" the banks. Well the government has decided that WE aren't too big to fail, and they have instituted a new policy called a "bail in". What that means is if the bank starts to fail, they'll be able to legally confiscate our deposits to protect themselves. Nice huh? And no, I'm not kidding, this is a real thing, you just haven't heard about it. Now you know why the government wants to grab your guns, they figure you might be upset at central bankers when they pull this shit, and they don't want you shooting at them.

I'm calling bullshit. This sounds like CCN sucking its own dick with both hands. CCN is probably mostly one creepy homosexual in his parent's basement jerking off a lot. I went to their website. It's glossy enough but gives little info on who these fucknuggets actually are. There's a "who we are" section of about 10 weirdos with what seem like mostly made-up titles.
The media is already deep in the tank for climate change narratives. No need for any outside influencers.

I think that, in the long run, it hurts because it leads people to become dismissive of anti-nuclear arguments. "Oh, you're one of those people who think that nuclear bombs are going to wake up dinosaurs, or something."

March is 10th straight month to be hottest on record, scientists say. Source: NPR/AP March 2024 averaged 14.14 degrees Celsius, exceeding the previous record from 2016 by a tenth of a degree, according to Copernicus data. It was 1.68 degrees C warmer than in the late 1800s, the base used for temperatures before the burning of fossil fuels began growing rapidly.
Scientists say the record-breaking heat during this time wasn't entirely surprising due to a strong El Nino, a climatic condition that warms the central Pacific and changes global weather patterns.
"But its combination with the non-natural marine heat waves made these records so breathtaking," said Woodwell Climate Research Center scientist Jennifer Francis.
We have doomed our descendants. Food will be expensive in rich countries. In poor countries it will be scarce to non-existent. Tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, will die horrible deaths due to famine.
There is little to no chance to avoid any of this at this point. We squandered the opportunity to address the problem in pursuit of profits and an easy lifestyle. Our descendants will curse us for millennia.

It then provides tips for language journalists can use to blame "extreme weather" on climate change for any story.

I was in the home of a Japanese colleague whose wife rather sanctimoniously asked me how I felt when I visited Hiroshima.
Not wanting to be a bad guest, but also not wanting to let that pass unremarked, I replied, "Pretty much the way I felt when I visited Nanking."
She looked puzzled. She had NO clue what I was talking about.
I think that was a good answer, although I don't equate the two in any way. Nanjing was simple barbarism inflicted on a people to cow them into submission after being invaded. Hiroshima was an attempt to stop the war they started. It worked.

That's modern day, which makes sense.
But even in the 50s, with people who were around at the time who saw and heard of things like the institutional orders that led to widespread warcrimes, there's no talk. Because it's hard to deal with that you were on a side so evil for so long. It becomes cognitive dissonance until you intentionally forget the bad things.
That makes sense, but I just can't let go of the self-righteousness from certain Japanese people at the time around the topic. This was a nation that did literally rape Nanking, and they're trying to make themselves out to be the undeserving losers.

The article blames the shortage of cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, on rising prices of fertilizers, deforestation, illegal mining practices and "extreme weather events."
===
Tat is all fake climate alarmism. Fertilizer cost more because the environmentals lie that it is bad. Deforestration is happening because the solar scammers are chopping huge amounts of lad for unreliable solar projects that are vulnerable to mother nature. And illegal mining practices are happening because of the huge amount of rare earths for batteries to fuel the EV scam.
So all due to the fake climate scam. This is a self perpetuating doom loop.

Yea. I would love to see manuals out-selling EVs. But if you remove from EV sales the only brand really selling in volume that's not a fair comparison. I'm also surprised that 260k cars were sold in 2023 with a stick. I would have thought it was much lower. I wonder whether the 1.7% of sales number is based off something less than the total number of all vehicles sold in the USA?

Propaganda is aimed squarely at lefties. It's absolutely intended as messaging reinforcing the narratives they love.
I had dinner the other night with a lefty acquaintance and was subjected to lectures on a couple of these topics. Most irritating was hearing that the Jan 6 insurrectionists murdered Brian Sicknick and ten other people. While I stayed silent, he pulled up NYT article after WaPo article, all full of shit. Facts be damned, he had Propaganda on his side!

This isn't idle speculation btw:
"Apparently, nearly 30% of Tesla buyers consider purchasing a BMW model before settling on the Tesla — and around 20% consider an Audi or Mercedes. A further 12% also consider purchasing a Porsche before deciding on a Tesla."
https://tinyurl.com/24ohjfst
It's a luxury purchase or a statement. Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata buyers aren't cross shopping Audis.

Seattle Times has it’s own “ClimateLab” that spins fake doom tales. Local weather guy named Cliff Mass who had been kicked off a radio program for being an AGW skeptic often picks the Times stories apart. One of the latest Times pieces about declining water reservoirs Cliff says:
“The article was accompanied by a picture of a Rattlesnake Lake, which looked like a scene from the moon. They did not mention that this is an artificial lake controlled by Seattle Public Utilities.”

Yea. I would love to see manuals out-selling EVs. But if you remove from EV sales the only brand really selling in volume that's not a fair comparison. I'm also surprised that 260k cars were sold in 2023 with a stick. I would have thought it was much lower. I wonder whether the 1.7% of sales number is based off something less than the total number of all vehicles sold in the USA?

Now in retirement I spend some time evaluating why some of my days are better than others. As best as I can figure it all boils down to 3 things. Sleep, regular bowel movements and smaller meals eaten EARLY, like before 6pm.

Tat is all fake climate alarmism. Fertilizer cost more because the environmentals lie that it is bad. Deforestration is happening because the solar scammers are chopping huge amounts of lad for unreliable solar projects that are vulnerable to mother nature. And illegal mining practices are happening because of the huge amount of rare earths for batteries to fuel the EV scam.

Got out of college, got a job, went to Datsun to buy my first new car. Wanted a 260Z with manual. They had a dozen Z cars on the lot. ALL Automatics. I was pissed. Whodafuk buys a sports car with automatic. Couldn't even order one. I didn't buy a Datsun.

"Apparently, nearly 30% of Tesla buyers consider purchasing a BMW model before settling on the Tesla — and around 20% consider an Audi or Mercedes. A further 12% also consider purchasing a Porsche before deciding on a Tesla."

It's a luxury purchase or a statement. Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata buyers aren't cross shopping Audis.

I'll bet any amount of money that the vast majority of Tesla owners already own a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, or Porsche. They are vanity buys for families that already have a big luxury ICE model -- usually an SUV -- for real-world use.

It took me forever to figure this out, but here goes:
1) They believe climate change is real.
2) But they are idiots.
3) But they want to save the world.
4) But they are idiots. how can idiots save the world?
5) Convince everyone else that climate change is real.
6) So, everyone else will spend money fixing the problem.
7) That makes the idiots the *real* heroes.
Not scientists or engineers, them.
9) But they are idiots and are really bad at convincing anyone.
10) Which is actually creates a huge problem.
11) because idiots screaming get ignored.
12) But they are idiots.
13) So, screaming even louder is always an option for them.
which brings us to "Climate change is destroying Easter."

We have doomed our descendants. Food will be expensive in rich countries. In poor countries it will be scarce to non-existent. Tens of millions, maybe hundreds of millions, will die horrible deaths due to famine.
There is little to no chance to avoid any of this at this point. We squandered the opportunity to address the problem in pursuit of profits and an easy lifestyle. Our descendants will curse us for millennia.
Posted by: Intercepted DU Transmissions
The solution is obvious- kill billions now so future famine doesn't happen.
This does seem to be a common theme within whatever the "crisis" of the day is. Methinks they just want to kill billions for shits and giggles.

"Can someone explain to me why Shane Gillis is suddenly everyone's favorite comedian? I just don't see it."
It is because he made the Biden is a Roomba joke so he is now the anti woke comedian that conservatives are supposed to like and lefties like SNL and Bud Light use to 'prove' that they aren't lefties.

You'd think we'd actually be seeing the effects of this apocalypse by now, but instead some winters have more snow and some have less. Some summers are colder and some are hotter. Sometimes there is a storm or drought somewhere, sometimes there is no storm and not enough of a drought.

It always amazes me the people who are worried about overpopulation are too selfish to do their part to correct it.
During the Obamacare debate I repeatedly pointed out to leftists that if they thought healthcare was a right there was nothing stopping them from forming health care collectives to share bills.
The answer was always "But then YOU wouldn't have to pay for it".
So its the same thing here. They don't want ANY reduction to their standards of living, but believe they are fully justified in taking anything away from you because YOU don't need a car, a house, or even heat...

I'd bet that a tiny little sliver of a Delta 8 gummie would make for good sleep, and pleasant Mannix (not a cop) level dreams of babes. Now, I'm not a chemist but Delta 8 is pretty much CBD oil, which is from hemp, which has been acidified. Kinda natural.
I don't usually have issues with sleep. Especially after spending some part of the day outside hiking around. Don't even get up to pee.
No, I don't wet the bed. But I do sometimes dream that I'm standing in front of a urinal. Damn, sneaky bastid the brain is.

So, how does that work?
"More people choose manuals over EVs", but we're not allowed to compare choices within a year just over the lifetime of both products, one of which has been around for decades longer on a mass scale? Also, we have to exclude rich people who choose EVs? But only if they buy Teslas. If they buy a Chevy or Ford or whatever, we can count them.
Posted by: TheJamesMadison, fighting kaiju with Ishiro Honda at April 09, 2024 01:49 PM (GBKbO)

Because the comment AFTER that was when I noticed that total manual sales were 260K, and I happened to know that the non-Tesla sales are lower than that. I had a separate observation and posted it. It's hanging out there all by itself.
I enjoy the conversation, though.

Not only that. When they drive out of town they rent and when they fly they Uber. I think those that buy a battery car are unencumbered by what would be inconveniences to us. Other purchasers are fools.

My biggest problem with the movie? I get that franchise confused with The Exorcist. Also the Scanners series as well. I kept thinking, Wait, who gets possessed by The Devil here? Is that the same priest that jumps out the window?
Who is that guy? It's dark, there's rain, isn't this that same movie? Wait. There's a nun, but is that the same nun from that Movie Of The Week?
Doesn't someone get hit by a truck, and maybe a bird?
And doesn't, well, isn't there some dude with spectral powers doing things in the Midwest USA? I thought that was 'Scanners'.
I lose track.
The Kid got pretty frustrated with me.

My out of college car buy was a 63 VW Westy but a few years later I went to buy a 3.0 Csi. All I could find was automatics until a finally a 4 speed in decent shape came up. The autos on that were not quick but good top speed.

Been saying this here for years. The Club of Rome, who basically made up the global warming hoax and then got the UN to play along, admitted the reason they did it was population control.
The most frustrating part of this is the information is readily available but people refuse to look at it. It's made up bullshit.

and from 'scientific american' last november:
"The planet just saw the hottest span of 12 months in human history because of climate change driven by the burning of fossil fuels."

Generally they are just making it up or taking a tortured reading of statistics or deliberately changing historical data to fit the narrative.
You at this point cannot believe anything a climate cultist says, because 95% of it is completely wrong, and the margins on the other aren't worth a moments lost sleep. I think we need to create an anti-climate cultist group, that requires human sacrifice to atone for our sins in thinking we can significantly impact the weather.

Speaking of pro-Hamas..
Listened to an Adam Carolla episode . He had a Jewish comedian on. His brother moved to Israel and is an Israeli citizen. His grandparents are holocaust survivors. Adam asks him who he’s going to vote for. Without a second thought he said Biden of course because… OrangeManBad.
One person does not make an entire group of course. But it fits with my prediction that the Dem Jewish vote will plummet to 80.22% from the current 80.29% now that Biden is 100% in on Hamas.

Gah, my soon to be college bound nephew seems to understand the forces of fascism at work in our current 'democracy' but has a huge blind spot and unfortunately is all in on 'climate change'. The brainwashing these kids go through is massive.

I got my mom a Highlander. They too have V6s, or at least they did in 2022 when I bought it. She needs a 3rd row seat.
Posted by: Elric Blade at April 09, 2024 01:58 PM (iFTx/)
Yep. It's faster than the Honda Pilot (Honda's three row). We eventually decided that we can live without the third row now, with only two kids actually still at home.
The savagegeese channel on youtube pushed us more toward honda than toyota.
Which brought us back to the passport--which has the same engine as the Pilot, but is a bit smaller vehicle, so decent power. People seem to have good things to say about Honda's smart 4 wheel drive system. Not going to do technical off roading or anything but it's pretty capable for what it is.

It would be interesting to know total sales of all makes and models (not just EVs) in each state.

I think Toyota went hybrid will all of their redesigned truck/suv line (well the Sequioa, maybe not the highlander?) and that's...an interesting choice. I think most people are going to hate it, but then again people just seem to buy whatever is pushed in front of them.

Every couple of years, the local TV news and newspapers would scream about the tar balls found on Santa Barbara beaches, blaming the oil companies who operate the offshore oil rigs.
Then about a month later, they'd issue a quiet correction, admitting that the tar balls were normal, from offshore oil seepage that had been going on for centuries and that the Chumash injuns would gather tar balls to seal their canoes.

Those complaints happen a lot more often now that there is a lot less oil production. Environmentals still blame the greater tar on our beaches is due to the oil platforms. Can't fix indoctrinated.

From the Wikipedia article on Pismo Beach:
The name Pismo comes from the Chumash language word for tar, pismuʔ,[2] which was gathered from tar springs in Price Canyon near Pismo Beach. The tar was a valuable product, which the Chumash used to caulk their seagoing canoes

This isn't particularly debatable:
The average household income of a new Tesla owner in 2024 is $150,015, down slightly from 153,135 in 2018...
We looked at the gender of current new Tesla owners, including Tesla Model S and Tesla Model X. Overall, Tesla owners skew 74% male...
Tesla owners tend to not have children in the home. 70% of all current Tesla owners have no children at home, compared to 66% several years ago. That’s even higher for Tesla Model S owners, of which 73% have no children at home...

True, but the 3 is their cheap car. The other models go past $100k. I'd like to know the average selling price of the brand. And I think the narrative that "Teslas are for the rich" figures into the equation that the Tesla will almost always be a second car to a luxury brand. The average income of a Tesla buyer is over $150k.

Just from eyeballing I’d say there are more Teslas in california major cities, than any other car. At least for cars 5 years old or newer. Prius probably is in 2nd place.

So many things affect Hurricane numbers. If upper-level winds are too strong, no hurricanes. Surface ocean temp is probably the most important factor.

The biggest difference is that they are now tracking hurricanes that have no chance of landfall. They used to only name and track hurricanes that posed some danger to civilization. But in order to artificially inflate the number of hurricanes, they changed the methodology. Pure fraud.

True, but the 3 is their cheap car. The other models go past $100k. I'd like to know the average selling price of the brand. And I think the narrative that "Teslas are for the rich" figures into the equation that the Tesla will almost always be a second car to a luxury brand. The average income of a Tesla buyer is over $150k.

There have always been mini cooling periods. We are nearing the end of the interglacial warming period - they typically last from 10K-30K years. We are 25K into this one. Which means based upon our current understandings between now and the year 7025 we should go into a formal glacierization period. They typically last 70K to 90K years. This results in the roughly 100K cycle.
