The Propagandist Machines

The major television free-to-air networks or primary broadcast channels that reach most households are:

• National Broadcasting Company (NBC)

• CBS Broadcasting Inc., CBS (previously Columbia Broadcasting System),

• American Broadcasting Company (ABC)

• Fox Broadcasting Company (FOX)

• Public Broadcasting Service (PBS)

There are other free-to-air network broadcasters, but viewership is very limited or restricted by region.

With the exception of FOX, but not at all times, but with the least exceptions, these networks detonate documentaries on climate change and dysphemistically christen or purposely embellish the term to climate crisis, climate chaos, or climate emergency.

The CBS News magazine show “60 Minutes” with Lesley Stahl or Peter Van Sant is possibly the dominant purveyor of climate change propaganda, followed closely by PBS, which puts much of their leftist slant on the pocketbooks of American taxpayers.

The linked CBS article claims that “climate change would drive a surge in foreclosures and lender losses.” CBS draws on a study that alleges that, “foreclosures across the U.S. caused by flooding, wind and other weather-related incidents could soar 380% over the next 10 years.” The legacy media constantly hypes the fallacy of increases in storms of every type, with greater intensities, as well as increases in floods, droughts, wildfires, and other natural events of weather.

This misinformation is the fictitious basis for the study cited by CBS. It parallels the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that do not investigate the authenticity or evidentiary proof of the climate change theory, but rather the ramifications, assuming the hypothesis is correct.

The first thing to review is “Loss of Life” and graphically, here it is:

Next is to examine weather-related damage to homes, and the following graph from the year 2000 onward represents that:

The reason for the damage escalation in 2008 resulted from wildfires, especially in California – these were not attributable to manmade climate change, but manmade arson as well as deficient forestry practices. This is proving true with the catastrophic fires of January 2025 in that same state.

In any event, in opposition to the CBS article, the trend appears to be declining.

Acceleration of profits by insurance companies using climate change as a contrivance, has assuredly occurred and will continue - as does the vast sums of money worldwide in keeping climate change alive. Causes can create thieves.

As I wrote in The Final Warning of Warming, “There is a constant hoopla and hubbub around the 1.5°C temperature increase. The value was plucked out of the air by the Paris Climate Accord because it was previously plucked out of the air by the Alliance of Small Island States (AOSIS), who sought monetary rewards for alleged climate reparations from wealthier countries”. This is what constitutes the scientific “consensus” for these types of studies.

Trillions of dollars are made from research using mythical science as if the theory of anthropogenic science is unassailable.

Quoting Alan Kay, an American computer scientist, “The best way to predict the future is to invent it”.
