"The greatest rationale to become a Leftie is immunity from the rules they impose on the rest of us. The sanctioning of the double standards and hypocrisy."--Andrew Breitbart
How
wonderful you would quote Breitbart....
Certainly, since you insist.
The last three years may eventually come to be seen as the final death rattle of the global warming scare. Thanks whats now recognised as an unusually strong El Nino, global temperatures were driven to sufficiently high levels to revive the alarmist narrative after an unhelpful pause period of nearly 20 years that the world had got hotter than ever before.
It resulted in a slew of Hottest Year Evah stories from the usual suspects. As I patiently explained at the time here, here, and here this wasnt science but propaganda. If youre a reader of Breitbart or one of the sceptical websites this will hardly have come as news to you. But, of course, across much of the mainstream media and, of course, on all the left-leaning websites these Hottest Year Evah stories were relayed as fact. And, inevitably, were often cited by a host of experts on Twitter as proof that evil deniers are, like, anti-science and totally evil and really should be thrown in prison for sacrificing the future of the worlds children by promoting Big-Oil-funded denialism.
This is why there is such an ideological divide regarding climate change between those on the left and those on the right. The lefties get their climate information from unreliable fake news sites like Buzzfeed.
Just recently, I had to school my former Telegraph colleague Tom Chivers, now of Buzzfeed, with a piece titled Debunked: Another Buzzfeed Hottest Year Evah Story.
Perhaps Im wrong: I dont actually look at Buzzfeed, except when theyre doing something worthwhile like Five Deadliest Killer Sharks or Ten Cutest Kitten Photos. But Ive a strong suspicion they havent yet covered this 1 degree C temperature fall because, well why would they? It just wouldnt suit their alarmist narrative.
