Meet the Green NBC Psychos

Most major media outlets still operating (because their biased advocacy hasn’t miraculously driven them from business yet) are almost open environmental alarmists and global warming advocates. They advocate simply by citing the oft-heard “consensus,” which any scientist worth her weight would tell you is meaningless in the realm of science and scientific debate. This means that most media regularly IGNORE the opposing scientific arguments against the theory…ahem, myth…of global warming.

It shouldn’t surprise you much to see GE’s CEO openly advocate in terms of alarmists’ propaganda; MSNBC is the channel that now regularly features the little green peacock logo, as opposed to the more traditional rainbow colored one.

Cap-and-Trade? A mystical Obama scam-tax; let’s call it a STAX. Cap-and-Trade is a fancy way of confusing the less brainy among us, so that we don’t recognize we’re paying more for things like electricity and fuel—the powerhouses of capitalism.

GE's Jeff Immelt: Global Warming 'Compelling'; Cap-and-Trade Most 'Effective' Way to Go

CEO of parent company of NBC Universal argues for carbon price to create 'certainty.'

General Electric (NYSE:GE) is the parent company of the major media conglomerate NBC Universal, which owns media outlets NBC, MSNBC and CNBC. At times that has led to the lines between corporate advocacy and journalism being blurred.

That was certainly the case when GE’s CEO Jeff Immelt appeared on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” May 20 to discuss the White House meeting of President Barack Obama’s 16-member Economic Recovery Advisory Board headed by former Federal Reserve chief Paul Volcker.

Immelt used his platform at CNBC to make the case for a cap-and-trade program to curb emissions – something Obama has called for and one Congressional committee is debating this week.

Global-Warming Deniers: Well-funded?

One should read this entire article to see how blind these idiots are to their own unquestioning advocacy. They just don't see their own alarmism, hysteria, and kool-aid-drinking zealotry.

I'm still trying to figure out where my funds are for doing this? Oh, funds? Funds? Where are you, funds?! Could someone send me some funds, please. I get NOTHING FOR DOING THIS. I do this to fight stupidity.

They only forgot to call me a "flat earther." I'm insulted. Notice below that we say we hate being called "deniers." Why would we hate being branded as Nazis associated with the Holocaust...now, why on earth would anyone be insulted over that? Hmm...no clue there.

I like also how I'm part of a "THEY"--a "machine," if you will. I'm in a very exclusive club of smart people who aren't asleep and taking the spoon-feeding lying down. If I'm part of a "THEY" (a group of deniers) then why can't they also see themselves as a part of a "THEY" (a group of unquestioning alarmist advocates)?

Global-Warming Deniers: A Well-Funded Machine - Newsweek Technology - MSNBC.com:

Since the late 1980s, this well-coordinated, well-funded campaign by contrarian scientists, free-market think tanks and industry has created a paralyzing fog of doubt around climate change. Through advertisements, op-eds, lobbying and media attention, greenhouse doubters (they hate being called deniers) argued first that the world is not warming; measurements indicating otherwise are flawed, they said. Then they claimed that any warming is natural, not caused by human activities. Now they contend that the looming warming will be minuscule and harmless. "They patterned what they did after the tobacco industry," says former senator Tim Wirth, who spearheaded environmental issues as an under secretary of State in the Clinton administration. "Both figured, sow enough doubt, call the science uncertain and in dispute. That's had a huge impact on both the public and Congress."
