Climate: The Movie (The Cold Truth)
Since Google has shadow-banned this video, I am happy to post it here. It was initially Unlisted on YouTube. It was certainly not unlisted by the producers, who want it widely seen, but surely by Google itself.
The film does a good job explaining how scientists were corrupted, and continue to be corrupted, into going along with the climate narrative. But one thing the film barely mentions is how politicians and other lefty elites have come to preach the narrative. I mean, what is their incentive?
If you could identify a problem that would allow for, and encourage the public to accept and even demand, leftist, big government, and authoritarian policies, could you come up with something more ideal than the climate narrative? This schtick ticks all the boxes for the leftist view of how the world should be run. It does not matter to lefty elites whether it is true or not if it allows them to bring about utopia with, most importantly, themselves in charge, demanding and enforcing how other people live.
So the lefty elites corrupt the scientists with government money and research grants, and the scientists duly report on the problem and how it is getting worse, which the elites use to justify more government and more power for themselves. It is an ongoing quid pro quo and...
It is the perfect scam.
It is worth noting that Google has also shadow-banned this website (Moore's Twilight Review). But since I view this site as much a personal journal as a public weblog, this fact does not really disturb me. Though that said, of course, we all want readers. Even if you type the complete URL of this site into the Google search bar, they cannot seem to find it. And how many people know the difference between the Google bar and their browser's address bar?
The left is scared to death of alternative views. I'm not sure why, but one does wonder if they are that unsure of their positions. Or are they hiding the absurdity of those positions? Rather than have an open debate on any number of issues, the preferred tactic of the left is to simply hide the alternatives. It is a sort of intellectual treason, and the most cowardly thing I have ever actually witnessed.
Google's actions are somewhat capricious. Search Ace of Spades HQ, a site further to the right than this one, and Google is happy to oblige – Obviously Ace is too big to hide and Google's perfidy would be all too obvious. And yes, one could make the argument that this site is simply too small to be included in their search results. Okay fine. But why deny the URL?
By the way, we're not too small for DuckDuckGo or Bing.
