A push on global warming?

[Steve M.]

Just reading on the signs page and caught (what to me is) a weird anomaly.

It seems like global warming is ratcheting up as a theme, but not just on the MSM.

http://www.sott.net/article/254082-Worlds-rivers-running-on-empty - PhysOrg
It's talking more about extraction being the cause but also mentions climate change

Then there was this:
http://www.sott.net/article/254085-Stand-Still-for-the-Apocalypse - Chris Hedges truthdig
Which is interesting but goes on and on about global warming and being beyond the tipping point.

So I'm curious if anyone see's a growing (scientifically imposed, though the sources can certainly not come across clearly) trend of/or fear mongering on the global warming front, from the MSM and otherwise, or is it just me? It's not just the two recent articles, it's actually been in the last week or so reading MSM reports, some place state/country (I do not recall specifically) taking on doing the emissions carbon credit scam. I dunno, just thinking out loud I suppose.

Salutes!

I see that the discourse of global warming is very popular in the MSM in Spain. When Sandy, they say it was because of the GW. And every day in the radio if they can remind us about it they do it. Yesterday they talked about it because there is presently a meeting of countries about global warming somewhere. It seems to me incredible but it is a fact and people think that what is happening, even the cold that arrived too soon, is due to global warming. And when you tell that the planet is cooling they look at you as if you were an insect.

from the Chris Hedges Article

The report comes as the annual United Nations Conference on Climate Change begins this Monday [Nov. 26] in Doha, Qatar.

So it seems a good time for boosting the meme of global warming and attached to it the certainty of major disaster. IF the conference comes up with some changes, then the public needs to be primed for it by constantly bombardment of doom and gloom caused be warming.

This brings me to another point: Chris Hedges. I liked a lot of his articles put on SOTT but reading this one it dawned on me that he might be a willingly or unwillingly agent. Pushing the global warming meme using a report of the World Bank, which he criticizes constantly for its global economic tactics seems odd, if not suspicious. How can Hedges trust the world bank on one topic while all other things it does are demonized by him? Because he is in it for the regime change, which means demolishing the old capitalist control system and replacing it with a carbon tax control system? Seems like Hedges is playing right into the hands of the PTB with his rants and it could be intentional. At least this latest article put some serious doubts in my mind about his intentions.

Same here on CH. I watched him talk with a group of pundits on a pre-election show on Link TV which sounded like a bunch of scripted BS.

Another example is the "marriage" of Max Kieser/Stacy Herbert to the AGW in the face of a majority of commenters that trash AGW with reference to the truly scientific evidence. Max/Stacy pull out every "hockey stick" they can find in response and call it scientific consensus. Like CH, they site big institutions/interests that run counter to their core reason for existence. [Its actually refreshing to see so many dissenting commenters.]

Very similar to Ron Paul's refusal to address the truth regarding 9/11.

the Obama administration plan for a "greener economy" is I believe based of the "success" of the Spain program. So it makes sense that Spain would need to continue the global warming propaganda if they are ahead of the game in combating it...

Balberon, I too noticed the same thing, they are definitely pumping some extra energy into this meme. This morning, when I turned on the tube to see the local radar on the weather channel ( one of the few reasons I still have a TV) they were running some fear and loathing piece about the permafrost melting in Alaska, and how global warming, a.k.a. climate change, was going to melt the frost and release tons of "greenhouse gasses" , mainly that horrible CO2 ( sigh...oops!, I'm sorry... ) and even worse, more tons of the even more evil methane..( insert fart sound here... ).

They said the buried and frozen-over million year old forest would release enough gasses to push us "past the tipping point".

The thing that hit me first was they weren't blaming us dirty humans ...but were still, in a sub-text kind of way, saying we better clean up our act cause mother nature is going to "help us along" into the coming climate catastrophe. The standard MSM soup. (mix 1/4 tsp. of truth with 2qts. of lies, 1 pound of fear, and 8oz. of guilt...stir vigorously while adding grim images and gloomy music to taste.)

Of course, they did not mention any real numbers about the actual amount of gasses a big hunk of melting tundra would release, or that if you added in an undersea earthquake here and there, that the amounts of the releases would dwarf by many magnitudes anything humanity has done...but I guess that might take the guilt and self loathing out of the "soup".

But they did imply something really big, without even speaking a word about it, that their own hubris apparently doesn't allow them to see....(and I do have to thank Laura and Ark and everybody at SoTT, and here on the forum for this awareness)...which was this.

Why isn't anyone asking, or explaining, how huge tracts of forest got buried under the frost without having the time to rot and out-gas slowly? Just HOW did this "loaded gun" get loaded? Its SO obvious a question to ask! They were showing you something that totally flies in the face of mainstream "steady state" geologic science. They showed plain hard evidence for sudden, rapid and drastic changes in the environment, yet they are so blind that they can only threaten us with what amounts to a small after effect of a huge cataclysm. I'm not sure which one irritates me more, the hubris of the media, or the stupidity of the viewers who buy it.

This brings me to another point: Chris Hedges. I liked a lot of his articles put on SOTT but reading this one it dawned on me that he might be a willingly or unwillingly agent.

Jeremy, I noticed that too. I really like Chris, his eloquence and courage as a dissident is admirable, but it seems that there is a blind spot. It reminds me of Chomsky, and his awareness of the political maneuvering behind 9/11 without "seeing" the obvious. I sometimes wonder if certain dissidents are intentionally left alone by the PTB as long as there is a "useful" blind spot?

Just my 2 cents...

the is a recent development.

World Bank Climate Change Report Says 'Turn Down The Heat' On Warming Planet

I thought SOTT carried this but i couldn't find it there.

Under new World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, the global development lender has launched a more aggressive stance to integrate climate change into development.

"We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change It is one of the single biggest challenges to social justice today," Kim told reporters on a conference call on Friday.

IMO, that is for certain. Because nobody would spread disinfo better...
