What's the lie that travels around the world?

Some awesome groupthink from this article:

“I don’t want to silence him, but information like this causes real harm,” said Logan Mitchell, a research assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah.

“I would urge people to find information from reputable places. ... You know they say a lie can travel around the world before truth has a chance to lace up its boots.”

Logan Mitchell has it backwards. The lie that traveled around the world is catastrophic anthropogenic climate change, promoted and hyped by mainstream media to generate page views and advertising.

This thoughtful article explains the view of "detractors," thereby assuming the mainstream narrative is correct.

Full 1984.

Why some detractors say Earth is not in crisis, and why that drives most climate scientists crazy

Excerpt:

Utah author Bill Pekny wrote a book with 13 chapters describing climate change, full of charts, colorful graphics and “key takeaways” after each segment in which he impresses upon his readers why his research matters, and should offer comfort to those who believe the world is on the eve of destruction.

Pekny, from Midway, does not dispute that the climate is warming — he is among the 97% of scientists who say it is. But then he takes a sharp U-turn and says carbon dioxide is not the culprit. That puts him in dramatic contradiction, as an outlier, in the field of scientific research that exists.

Carbon dioxide, he insists, is not Frankenstein’s monster out to destroy the village of humanity.

“I think there is an improper fixation on CO2 being the bad guy as a pollutant and it is just the opposite,” Pekny said.

His book, “A Tale of Two Climates: One Real One Imaginary,” tackles what he says is dangerous groupthink, underpinned by science that he asserts is by no means conclusive and is the result of cherry-picking conclusions from the voluminous reams of research.

“I think there is way too much of that groupthink. I think there is in many cases where it goes to people who are trying to live and work and get grants and they are sometimes not too careful about how they do that,” he claims.
