Of Course Climate Sceptics Are Winning the Media War: The Facts Don’t Lie
According to Carbon Brief (CB), climate sceptics are winning the argument against Net Zero fanatics such as itself, the Guardian and Ed Miliband. The “analysis” from the amply funded Green Blob lobbying outfit shows that ‘UK newspaper editorial opposition to climate action overtakes support for first time‘. The tipping point has been reached. The poles have flipped. And now those who were charged with sustaining green propaganda – and who drew excellent salaries for doing so – are left none the wiser as to how this happened.
CB’s “analysis” is a story in two parts. The first is the measurement of UK newspaper editorials. CB maintains a database of all major UK publications’ commentary on climate policy going back to 2009 (though the data are sparse until later the following decade). And this is in itself very revealing of the Green Blob’s strategy in the climate war: it’s a very odd thing to measure.

The people who just want to follow rules will always find a new thing to support.
The people who think will always have a job to do.
An eternal battle, between those who follow rules and those who think.
And there is no shortage of infamous politicians that knew that. Constitutional structures should mitigate the risk, with any luck.
Those constitutional structures were wrecked in Britain by Tony B.Liar and then not fixed by Camoron and successors.
A lot of repealing is needed to get back to where parliament is in control again and where MPs are expected to do what their constituents vote for.
What an excellent point by point rebuttal of Coutinho’s accusations by Milliband – the Tories did it, the Tories did it and the Tories did it.
And no suggestion that Labour will undo it!
In fact Labour are continuing to do it and making it even worse.
Despite being bombarded on a near daily basis now for 30 years by eco socilaist politicians and bought and paid for media about the phony climate crisis people might finally be waking up. But they are probably still going to remain half asleep and allow the Milibands of this world to rob them blind and steal their prosperity. —There is no CLIMATE CRISIS, and there has never been a politician with a harder neck than Milibamd and never a bare faced liar to the extent he is. —-But actually the entire political class are in on the scam and so are the bought and paid for mainstream media.
Back in 2008 I confidently told someone that “global warming is over”. Just last week, some of my friends were still talking about “climate change”. I think the tide is turning but it has a long way to go.
If you thought that in 2008 then good on you. I only got interested in this issue in 2007 after watching Martin Durkin’s “The Great Global Warming Swindle”. —-But since then I have come to know that climate change and it’s politics are simply an eco socialist SCAM. I regularly post on here and other places, have read maybe 300 books on the subject, and pay attention to everything the phony planet savers say andit is mostly about alignment with the UN/WEF Sustainable Development Agenda that says we in the wealthy west have used more than our fair shar eof the fossil fuel in the ground and MUST STOP—–Eco Socialism. .
Me too.
The tipping point will have arrived when editorials denounce the convenient untruth of climate claptrap as the globalist heist it’s been for decades.
I doubt that Climate Change activism can be called a cult. But that is not to say that some activists are not cultists.
WordWeb: A member of an unorthodox cult who generally lives outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.
You may ask who the charismatic leader is… but in our highly connected world you no longer need an actual person because the archetype (fundamental, universal pattern in the human psyche), or social pattern, or meme exists.
An inconvenient truth, indeed.
Milliband must be hoping that CFDs, grid upgrades and new gas plants are classed as defence spending so the government can claim both increased NATO spending and reduced bills. He speaks nothing but BS.
That clip of Coutinho vs. Miliband is great, and illustrates a basic truth that Miliband, try as he might, cannot deny: if you want a reliable electricity supply, you either have wind + gas (needed as a backup) or gas alone. It doesn’t take a genius to work out which of the two options is cheaper. (Of course, other dispatchable means of electricity generation are available.)
So a “Tipping point” that has actually happened, as opposed to all those threatened ones that never quite did! Despite being repeated ad infinitum.
If Miliband is incapable of accepting being called names, or receiving criticism, maybe he’s not fit for the role.
He’s probably deserving of much more unpleasant names, and stronger criticism than any of our our so-called newspapers would be willing to print!
The simple fact is that actions of the past by B.Liar and the self-same Miliband have insulated him against the much needed criticism that he is receiving.
He needs to be relentlessly criticised until he either resigns or has a mental breakdown, whichever comes first. He’s had his chance to change, now it will be a frontal assault that is required.
