Media Exhibit Cognitive Dissonance Over Global Warming | NewsBusters.org

I must ask a very serious and urgent question of our media. Why
do you continue to talk glibly about current climate ‘warming’ when it
is now widely acknowledged that there has been no ‘global warming’ for
the last ten years, a cooling trend that many think may continue for at
least another ten years? How can you talk of the climate ‘warming’ when, on the key measures, it isn’t? And now a leading Mexican scientist is even predicting that we may enter another ‘Little Ice Age’ - a ‘pequeña era de hielo’.

Such media behaviour exhibits a classic condition known as ‘cognitive dissonance’. This
is experienced when belief in a grand narrative persists blindly even
when the facts in the real world begin to contradict what the narrative
is saying. Sadly, our media have come to have a vested interest in ‘global warming’, as have so many politicians and activists. They
are terrified that the public may begin to question everything if
climate is acknowledged, on air and in the press, not to be playing
ball with their pet trope.
