Vindmøller og værkanalen

[ConTrari]

Vi hører ofte om hvordan karbonlobbyen korrumperer klimakampen. Her er en litt annen kobling; General Elelctric lager vindmøller. General Electric eier The Weather Channel, som viser kriseprogammer om klima. Frykt gir profitt.

"On the other hand, the tranquil weather being experienced by most people around the globe at any given time goes ignored and unvideotaped. Again, one can understand why this would be so. In the newspaper business, and other journalistic domains as well, fires are of note. Non-fires aren't. Fair enough. But something very insidious has taken place. The selling of weather disasters as entertainment has led to a state in which big business stands to gain handsomely from the perception that the planet has gone meteorologically mad.

Specifically, General Electric stands to profit. When in 2008 NBC (owned by General Electric) purchased The Weather Channel, an interesting thing took place: the largest domestic producer of wind turbines became the owner of the best-positioned purveyor of images of destructive weather. The same year, NBC's Today Show continued its longstanding practice of "showing" the great destruction to the ocean-atmosphere system caused by manmade global warming, with story after story: fires, floods, melting Kilimanjaro, you name it. The rest of NBC News, and the Weather Channel, meanwhile, keep the same pieces of videotape on nearly infinite repeat."

Det er rimelig irriterende at så svært mange av de med bombastiske meninger om AGW-faren ser ut til å tjene store penger på sin alarmisme.
