Readfearn & DeSmogBlog pile on Galileo Deniers for "JEWISH" conspiracy talk

Wasn't it Disraeli who said the piccolo of his protest would  scarcely be audible next to the deep rumbles of the big pipes of that august organ of public opinion, The Times of London (editorial) leader ?

SkyGods vs earthings and Watching The Deniers don't even cut the weight of a piccolo,  in the climate-change-believing/ climate-denier-combating world.

But Vancouver's DeSmogBlog : oh my my !

True heavies : read and even quoted by the , ahem, real journalists on the soon-to-declare-bankruptcy metropolitan newspaper chains.

Graham Readfearn has a piece in DeSmogBlog on the dog whistle words coding for " Jewish Bankster World Domination Conspiracy " emanating out of MD Malcolm Roberts of Australia's leading climate denier group, The Galileo Movement.

Now perhaps we might expect the dinosaurs of the media world to engage on this juicy story , n'est pas ?

Non, mon ami .

The din-o-saurs fell over themselves to quote these Galileo Movement mavericks as "scientific experts" questioning the 97% global scientific consensus on the reality of human-caused climate change.

The last refuge of a journalistic coward is "objectivity"


Its all down to that din-o-saur benchmark of objectivity : "unfair, old boy, to let the Jews have all the innings whenever we discuss Auschwitz - can't you round up a Neo-Nazi or two to offer a rebuttal, or are they all off busy killing Sikhs ?"

Embarrassing to publicly admit your scientific experts are advisors to a group with anti-semitic beliefs.

Still we might expect perhaps George Monbiot to run an article on the story in The Guardian Online in a week or so, and it might gradually - oh so gradually - find traction.

Or perhaps not  :  in which case it is back to Mike at WTD to do some more heavy lifting......

Why My Urgency ?

Histories of WWII all start with the presumption that it was a war raged between humans and human ideologies, with Nature’s climate and geography as side issues easily surmounted.My blog, on the contrary will only accept that it was conflict between humans and their ideology that STARTED the war but that it was the barriers thrown up by Mother Nature (geography & climate) that turned it into a war that lasted between 6 to 15 years and expanded to thoroughly involve all the world’s oceans and continents. High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
