The first presidential debate of 2024 put to rest false media reports about Joe Biden’s sharp edge. But it went on to fuel another big lie. [emphasis, links added]
“Another ongoing challenge is the climate crisis,” said CNN host Dana Bash. “2023 is the hottest year on record, and communities across the country are facing Facing the devastating effects of intense heat, intensifying wildfires, stronger hurricanes and rising sea levels, will former President Trump take any action as president to slow the climate crisis?
As regulators, climate crisis rhetoric is having a profound impact on America's industrial heartland from washington to california Determining the future of the automotive and energy industries John Kirby, communications adviser to the Biden administration's National Security Council, said it was a rush to prevent “an existential crisis … capable of wiping out all human life on Earth.”
CNN’s litany of lies – all allegedly caused by fossil fuel consumption – is repeated Disgusting Appearing daily in major U.S. news outlets and driven by the “climate crisis” guidelines issued by the partisan AP, which has retooled its industry-standard stylebook to enforce Democratic dogma.
Climate industry policy measures are wasting billions of dollars to address false positives.
Take this summer as an example, The federal government has admitted that only 11 chargers have been produced in three years out of the $5 billion allocated to states under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Plan.
at the same time, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fines General Motors $146 million for excessive carbon dioxide emissions Applies to vehicles produced in 2012-2018 ($128 million for 2016-17 models), and Stellantis paid $236 million for the 2018-19 model year and $711 million for 2022 emissions.
These fines will accelerate in the coming years.
The panic was created in part by the AP Style Manual, which guides member media outlets from television to newspapers. The Associated Press works to tackle CO2 emissions and help governments reshape transportation.
Bash's debate lie comes from The Associated Press's latest 2,734-word mammoth guide on how to report on the “climate crisis.”
The Associated Press instructed reporters that humans “are responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme storms, droughts, floods and wildfires.”
Is there any evidence for this? The AP told reporters they could only consult government sources: The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change; the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; NASA; the World Meteorological Organization; the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration; and the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service.
Opposition? “Avoid false balance,” the AP ordered, “Giving a platform to baseless claims or unqualified sources is done under the guise of balancing stories by including all viewpoints. For example, research reports describing the effects of climate change do not need to seek comment from the “other side” that humans have no impact on climate.
Imagine the AP instructing the media to ignore independent experts and quote only what government agencies say about whether Iraq possesses the weapons of mass destruction that led to the 2003 Iraq War.
In this media bubble, pundits like physicist John Crowther, the 2022 Nobel Prize winner, are ignored.
“The popular narrative about climate change reflects a dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world economy and the well-being of billions of people”, said Crowther, whose study concluded that carbon dioxide’s impact on climate is “negligible.”
or florida, – Contrary to the narrative of stronger hurricanes – From 2005 to 2016, Florida experienced its longest hurricane drought.
Or Canada's Fraser Institute, citing satellite data from the European Space Agency, recently reported “Wildfire activity has been declining in recent decades and is It is now close to the lowest levels ever seen in the early 1980s.“
Research by Arizona State climatologist Laura LaRocca and Northwest climatologist Yarrow Axford found that “Comprehensive sampling of sediment cores taken from 66 lakes and oceans (found) that the Arctic 6,000 years ago was much warmer than it is now.”
Endless climate lies have shaped an industrial policy in which the government pours billions of dollars into funding battery factories to produce electric cars for which there is no established market.
Michigan is systematically closing fossil fuel plants that will have to charge future electric vehicles, driving up energy costs.
Bash’s climate lies should be overturned by Republican candidate Trump. But the audience got palum.
“So, I want absolutely clean water, I want absolutely clean air, and we already have that. We have water. We have the best numbers we've ever had,” he said.
Biden echoed Bash: “The only existential threat to humanity is climate change. And (Trump) has done nothing about it.”
The false narrative continues.
