From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Congratulations to Guido, who beat me to it!
Doom-mongering journalists at Sky News are reporting unsubstantiated graphic claims that London is on course to be flooded, illustrated with an image of Buckingham Palace in 3 metres of water. The only thing that is flooded is the report – flooded with misleading climate claims. Using graphics from hyperbolic campaign group, Climate Central, Sky News implies that famous world sites including Buckingham Palace, the Burj Khalifa and the Lincoln Memorial will be completely flooded by water due to fast rising sea levels if the UK fails to halve annual emissions by 2030. Hardly water tight journalism…
Full story here.
Where are Facebook’s fake factcheckers like Zeke Hausfather now?
If it wasn’t my taxpayer money and my lifestyle I would actually find all these ‘reports’ very funny.
The Media seems to believe that if it is a ‘Report’ then it must be important. They skim the summary and rush off back to the newsroom to type “Worse Than We Thought” and “May Already Be Too Late” but I put to you that very very few ever bother to read beyond the front cover sheet.
For the giggles I actually down loaded and read a report about 4 years ago that bravely stated that Climate Change(tm) would destroy the internet.
What did I discover in the report?
This is – apparent – SCIENCE.
Burj Khalifa? All the way to the top? That would be some serious flooding.
Is there even enough water on the planet to cover the Burj Khalifa? Without major tectonic changes, I mean. The tower stays where it is.
