I think we need a 'fake news' thread and I will start it with this: How The Media Enables Destructive Climate Change Hysteria Reporters have a responsibility to challenge the assumptions and exaggerations of activists.
Last weekend, the former chairman of psychiatry at Duke University, Dr. Allen Frances, claimed that Donald Trump “may be responsible for many more million deaths” than Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong combined. Frances, author of the fittingly titled “Twilight of American Sanity,” would later clarify by tweeting that he was talking about the “[t]errible damage Trump is doing to world climate at this global warming tipping point may be irreversable/could kill hundreds of millions of people in the coming decades.”
That’s quite the bold statement, considering the hefty death toll the Big Three extracted. But, really, it isn’t that shocking to hear. Frances’ pseudohistoric twaddle comports well with the pseudoscientific twaddle that’s been normalized in political discourse. Every year Democrats ratchet up the doomsday scenarios, so we should expect related political rhetoric to become correspondingly unhinged.thefederalist.com/2019/08/27/media-enables-ludicrous-destructive-climate-change-hysteria/

I think the truth is that the MSM has been lying on a massive scale for a very long time. Power corrupts and total power corrupts totally. Fake News is propaganda that is intended to control the sheep. Anyone challenging it must be destroyed. Eff-Em.

I have also gone largely gone clickless. I can generally tell what the party line is from the headline. Sad.

I remember a quote about the Daily Mirror from a London talk radio station - that it " had to have pictures on most of the pages so the people who bought The Mirror knew which way up to hold it."

While not wishing to rekindle arguments on the 'release of latent heat' ..... From the article: "Christy compared the average model projections since 1979 to the most reliable observations — those made by satellites and weather balloons over the vast tropics. The result? In the upper levels of the lower atmosphere, the models predicted seven times as much warming as has been observed." This is the so called missing tropospheric 'hot spot' shown in _all_ the models. Now why would all the models show an increase in _temperature_ (a hot spot)? I believe that the reason is the assumption that has been often stated here that latent heat released by change of state of water is transferred to the other gases in the atmosphere as _sensible heat_ in other words when latent heat is released the surrounding atmosphere is heated up. This does happen (otherwise Dorian would not be 'barreling' (sic) this way now), but sensible heat transfer is not to the level the models expect as there is no hot spot. Now if a large proportion of the latent heat was radiated away as infrared (as shown by the satellites) there would be no temperature change as radiation is not heat, and there would be no hot spot which is what is shown by observation. I will cross post this to Temperature and CO2 to avoid thread drift here
