Alarmists Ditch The Polar Bear – Need New Scare Tactics

Another day, another story where the alarmists realize their narrative is no longer working, except for the extreme brain dead

Climate change is about more than just polar bears. That is the message from Dr Kate Manzo whose research into climate change communication has been published in Meteorological Applications. The research, which reviews the efforts of journalists, campaigners and politicians to engage the British public with climate change, explores how new ‘visual strategies’ can communicate climate change messages against a backdrop of increased climate scepticism.

“There have been various efforts to put a face on the climate change issue,” said Dr Manzo, from Newcastle University. “Communicators need to move away from the traditional images of polar bears or fear-laden imagery to find new, inspirational motifs to engage people with climate change. My research has uncovered a variety of possibilities – such as windmills as icons of renewable energy – as well as alternatives to documentary photography as the dominant form of climate change communication. Artists and cartoonists are among the producers of inspirational alternatives.”

I thought about putting some of those two paragraphs in bold, yet, the whole thing shows how far the alarmists will go to con the public. Not buying the polar bear buffalo chips? Rather than go with facts, Dr Manzo wants to push cute stuff. Facts just get in the way

“A recent study of American public perception showed that fewer people are convinced of the reality of climate change, and of those that are only 36% attribute it to human activity. This shows the variance of levels of climate change knowledge and understanding, which effects how people behave in response. It also highlights the need for strategies to boost the cognitive and behavioural elements of climate change engagement without resorting to methods such as fear appeals that are, at best, a double edged sword.”

I’m convinced of it, by the facts that it has always happened, will always happen, and it is primarily caused by natural forces. The problem for the alarmists, though, is that their narrative is not based on true science, but on politics, money, and control. If they really cared and believed in anthropogenic global warming, they would a. stop calling it climate change, and b. practice what they preach.

    The natives who have lived in that region for at least several thousand years, agree: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/north/story/2010/05/28/nunavut-polar-bear-status.html?ref=rss

    And so do I. It was climate change which caused the polar bear to evolve from brown bears in the first place.

    The US navy disagrees. I believe the US Navy. They say that the Arctic Ocean will be ice free int eh summer by 2025

    Geez Ryan, we have covered this before. The US Navy is saying no such thing.

    The US Navy started to work on strategies based upon a “scientific” article that the Arctic Ice would disappear. This was not their conclusion, but rather the conclusion of a paper that has since been discredited and thrown out.

    However the US Navy has a responsibility to plan contingents for all possibilities.

    Apparently you are so locked into repeating the same discredited points that you are incapable of any debate, much less honest debate.
