Media psyop against climate scientists

A coordinated offensive unfolded with precision September 2 against five scientists questioning the popular media’s most sacred bogeyman -- the hypothesis that human-induced emissions of carbon dioxide threaten to overheat the planet.

The scientists attacked had written a report published in July by the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE), "A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate."

Delivering virtually identical narratives, proclaiming that 85 "climate experts" had discredited the DoE report, were CBS, NPR, ABC, CNN, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Reuters and others.

Language in the news reporting was nearly indistinguishable, and the focus identical: a number ("85" or "dozens"), a designated group ("scientists" or "experts") and a verdict ("flawed," "lacks merit," "full of errors"). This is not the natural variance of independent newsrooms pursuing a story. This is the result of a shared press release, a common source or a backroom agreement to push a common storyline...

If everybody believed climate impacts were manageable, the case for sweeping carbon taxes, bans on fossil fuels and subsidies for wind and solar energy would collapse. That’s why the DoE report -- noting forecasting uncertainty, adaptation possibilities and economic trade-offs -- is so threatening. It undermines a narrative of an “existential” threat or imminent collapse. So, the media did not debate the five scientists; they sought to destroy them and their report...
