Climate ‘experts’ Warn of ‘Denialism Comeback’ Ahead of Cop 28
Apparently our sinister plot to take over the world has been exposed
The Inside Climate News piece perspires on that:
“Even amid a disaster-filled summer marked by record heat, climate misinformation continues to spread online at alarming rates.
Some experts fear it could slow progress at COP28.”
But while we’d love to take credit for the impending failure of COP28 in reality it was doomed from the start.
The experts invented both the progress and the plot to stop it.
If you care, the “experts” who say here are “Jennie King, head of climate research and policy at the Institute of Strategic Dialogue, a watchdog group focused on combating disinformation and human rights abuses” who manages to raise red flags about cunningly deceptive denialism and conspiracy theories in the same breath (and ironically the accompanying art shows a woman with a sign “Exxon knew”).
And also “Allison Fischer, another disinformation researcher”, who says “They’re not just trying to create climate skeptics. They’re actually eroding trust in science and the scientific community.”
Though it’s rather hard to fathom the distinction she thinks she’s drawing. Or why these two would be your go-to experts unless you happen to know they inhabit your own cozy corner of the echo chamber.
Two no-name scribes at an internet inquisition site that leans heavily in a certain direction is not exactly a 97 percent consensus, now is it? A Google search of “Allison Fischer” didn’t even turn up “another disinformation researcher”.
Possibly a friend of the author, Kristoffer Tigue, whose expertise is “a Master’s degree in journalism from the Missouri School of Journalism”.
Speaking of paranoia, a fundraiser from Inside Climate News this summer hissed at us that:
“Dear ICN Reader, A powerful force has been fueling the climate crisis for decades – lies.
We’re surrounded by lies that deny climate science, ignore facts, and make excuses for the unprecedented events surrounding us now: record-breaking heat, downpours and floods, unstoppable wildfire – the list goes on.
The misinformation machine is enormous and well-funded. It swirls around all of us, destroying trust, delaying action, costing lives.”
The Protocols of the Elders of Warming, eh? Or did you just make this sinister entity up to try to explain why people disagree with you even after hearing your opinion?

You mean climate experts are baffled because no one believes their BS anymore.

People don’t understand what social “justice” is. “Justice” is punishment for an “alleged” wrongdoing, you don’t have to be guilty.
Climate change is simply the phony reason used to enact the “justice”.
MIT came up with the reasons that regular people would be blamed for the police state and oppressive actions. They decided, in the 50s, that regular people would be blamed for pollution, famine and climate change.
Today, we’re at the point in the script where they self justify their planned actions based on the alleged wrongdoings of the people.

Do they believe they are god?

Good morning. I take your rhetorical comment seriously as a statement of truth.
Of course that is entirely because if one doesn’t believe in God one can easily fill the void with himself, therefore becoming the highest authority on all moral and ethical issues and decisions for humanity’s future.

When choosing which version of god to believe in (e.g. Allah, Jehovah, etc.), isn’t one choosing, in that selection, what seems right to oneself? So then, who’s the highest authority, the chooser or the god chosen?

All gods lead to the one entity. It is only the lead-in story that is different and appeals to people. This is obvious if one studies the different people’s and religions over time.

The “lead-in story” is just that – a story, nothing more. It doesn’t lead anywhere except in the mind of the believer where it manifests itself in numerous possible ways: guilt, comfort, good works (that is, those that are believed to be good), persecution of others who believe a different story, and so on.
It’s all just people, convinced that belief equals knowledge, creating gods in their own image or adopting such fabrications passed on by others. That is what is obvious, or should be, “if one studies the different peoples [no apostrophe needed] and religions over time.”

You confuse belief, with actual understanding, so your own opinion (belief), is nothing out of the ordinary and has no foundation.

“[no apostrophe needed]”
You can’t see more than a single character in all that I typed? I guess that explains your answer.
