Environmentalist PR Firms In Green Propaganda Offensive

PR firms headed up by corporate investors, CEO's and Directors of huge multinational companies are aggressively pushing global warming propaganda as they have come to realize that the green agenda is forging the next big commodities market.

Nowhere is this more evident than on Yahoo.com where pages and pages of articles devoid of any actual scientific reality have been collated into one giant green offshoot website.

Any visitor to Yahoo.com will today notice that the tech giant has "gone green" in recognition of Earth Day, a long running observance intended to inspire environmental awareness.

However, a closer look at the information provided on the website along with the people pushing it signals that the move represents nothing more than a huge profit making PR exercise.

Upon attempting to access my Yahoo email I was intrigued by the green Yahoo logo. Little did I know that when clicking on it I would be instantly bombarded with reactionary propaganda in it's crudest form.

Take Yahoo's "Global Warming Myths and Facts" page for example.

The agenda here is simple, they tell you what the FACTS are about global warming and remind you that any scurrilous rumours you may have heard to the contrary are MYTHS. The problem is, there is no actual evidence, just statements:

Fact: There is no debate among scientists about the basic facts of global warming.

That's strange, because last time I checked there was a raging debate with vast amounts of scientists questioning the UN backed IPCC "consensus" of just a handful of scientists and a boatload of politicians.

Fact: Any beneficial effects [of increased CO2 levels] will be far outweighed by damage and disruption.

And this is according to who? Some scientists , including the man dubbed "the father of the greenhouse effect" have postulated that the temperature increases predicted by climate models will benefit the planet, without causing any significant damage. What makes their projections MYTHS?

Fact: The global warming we are experiencing is not natural. People are causing it.

It is widely understood that CO2 constitutes a mere 0.038 percent of the atmosphere. Human CO2 production accounts for a mere 3 percent of the total CO2. The remaining 97 percent is produced naturally. Volcanic eruptions, CO2 releases from the oceans and even flatulence from cows cause more CO2 emissions than humans. Furthermore, data from all four major global temperature tracking outlets shows that the Earth is no longer getting warmer and that we are now actually in a post-warming period of global cooling.

Fact: Putting the word "fact" in front of a sentence does not make it an actual fact.

The Yahoo green onslaught is jam packed with paragraphs of such unsubstantiated claims. Highlights include:

"The only debate in the science community about global warming is about how much and how fast warming will continue."

"a mandatory cap on emissions could spur technological innovation that could create jobs and wealth. "

"The best way to lower temperature and thus reduce water vapor levels is to reduce CO2 emissions."
