In recent years, particularly around mid-July (the peak of the Northern Hemisphere summer), there has been a noticeable surge in headlines featuring the "hottest day" ever on record in corporate media outlets - which is of course pushed by climate alarmist journalists citing questionable studies. This timing coincides with hot weather, so naturally, it's quite convincing to persuade readers that the world's oceans are boiling and planet Earth will ignite into a fireball unless drastic actions are taken - such as more climate taxes, 'carbon credits,' banning cow farts, prohibiting new petrol-powered vehicle sales by X date, and pushing spending bills to procure more solar panels from China, to save the planet.

The problem is that corporate media only focuses on recent history - and not "in context" (as they love to say). Context is particularly important when it comes to climate change - as their narrative collapses when looking at a long enough timeline.
To wit... a funny thing happened when the Washington Post tried to map out half a billion years of global temperatures and the "disaster of global warming" ...

WaPo journalists cited a new study about Earth's global surface temperatures over the last 485 million years. In 2023, Earth's average temperature reached 58.96 F (14.98 C), well below the average 96.8 degrees F (36 degrees Celsius) the study showed around 100 million years ago. The trend shows Earth's temperatures have been sliding for 50 million years.
Of course, all they can focus on is the most recent blip (supported, as astute readers know, by faulty data).
[A] growing chorus of climate scientists are saying the temperature readings are faulty and that the trillions of dollars pouring in are based on a problem that doesn’t exist.More than 90 percent of NOAA’s temperature monitoring stations have a heat bias, according to Anthony Watts, a meteorologist, senior fellow for environment and climate at The Heartland Institute, author of climate website Watts Up With That, and director of a study that examined NOAA’s climate stations.
“And with that large of a number, over 90 percent, the methods that NOAA employs to try to reduce this don’t work because the bias is so overwhelming,” Mr. Watts told The Epoch Times.
“The few stations that are left that are not biased because they are, for example, outside of town in a field and are an agricultural research station that’s been around for 100 years ... their data gets completely swamped by the much larger set of biased data. There’s no way you can adjust that out.” -Epoch Times
Maybe, just maybe, the level of human-caused global warming doom porn pushed by the government, corporate media outlets, global NGOs, and far-left billionaires is not as apocalyptic as they make it sound.
Which of course means (and as we knew), all those idiot kids running around the West, throwing paint on private jets and artwork, and gluing their hands to highways, are doing it for nothing - and are indeed in a cult.
The climate scam isn’t complex. We are always 7-10 years away from climate catastrophe. ?

Climate grift.
Oh, by the way, here's another truth bomb for the woke left.
Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton University, Dr. William Happer:
"CO2 is actually good for the world, so people ought to be encouraged to make more of it."

Rep. Thomas Massie: "I think the whole carbon thing is a scam...I wish we had more carbon, we need more CO2 and in periods in Earth's history we had more CO2 and plant life was doing better and we've seen the coverage of green on the globe increase as CO2 levels go up, crop… pic.twitter.com/0Qhh2USGPw

And then there's this.
Marc Morano: "The same template.

Here's what X users are saying about WaPo's reporting...
This is why climate alarmists always alarm me more than climate itself.
There is too much money to be gained by grifters causing people to panic about an uncontrollable subject such as the weather.
The panic prevents reasonable conversations about sustainability.

Climate change is about global governance, nothing more. Globalists use the media to create climate change hysteria in their effort to build transnational institutions that have the power to regulate and tax internationally above the power of nation states.

And then they still proceeded with their propaganda.
Corporate media only exists to be mocked at this point.
