‘Climate’ activists seek to ditch polar bear pics as growing populations defy ’emergency’ narrative

Polar bears are out, and pictures of people in misery after natural disasters and choking on smog are in.

The suggested shift what “journalists” should focus on when covering the so-called “climate emergency” comes from The Guardian’s picture editor Fiona Shields, who argues “we need new imagery for new narratives.” There’s one other convenient benefit: Polar bears are thriving in the changing climate, an inconvenient truth that contradicts the doom-and-gloom narrative promoted by climate alarmists.

“We know, from years of experience, that people love polar bears and pandas, so it is easy to see how these appealing creatures have become the emblems for the topics of endangered species and what we previously termed as global warming,” Shields wrote.

“Often, when signaling environmental stories to our readers, selecting an image of a polar bear on melting ice has been the obvious – though not necessarily appropriate – choice,” she continued. “These images tell a certain story about the climate crisis but can seem remote and abstract – a problem that is not a human one, nor one that is particularly urgent.”

The idea to focus instead on pictures of Chinese with smog masks and piles of plastic trash in developing countries comes from a group called Climate Visuals, an arm of the UK Climate Outreach lobbying group.

Climate Outreach bills itself as “a team of social scientists & comms specialists passionate about helping organisations communicate climate change beyond the green bubble.”

Shields is all in.

She’s convinced photos of folks basking in the sun at the beach or enjoying a snowy day sledding with their children are an injustice to climate change, and journalists should focus on “getting the emotional tone of imagery in line with the issue.” She wants other climate “journalists” to “join the conversation,” as well.

“So, although scenes of children playing in fountains and everyone racing to the beach can be uplifting and irresistible, we have to be mindful of the tone of our journalism,” Shields insists.

There’s another good reason for climate change crusaders to shift away from pictures of polar bears: bear populations are booming, which undercuts the narrative that the changing climate is ruining the planet.

Native Inuit in parts of Nanuvut, Canada argued last year that polar bear populations are much higher than Canadian scientists think, and demanded the right to manage bears with “Inuit knowledge” rather than western science, which typically relies on data and computer models.

“(Inuit knowledge) acknowledges that polar bears are exposed to the effects of climate change, but suggests that they are adaptable,” natives wrote in a proposed management plan cited by CTV News.

Inuit leaders pointed to obvious signs of increasing bear numbers, such as two Inuit who were killed by the animals in 2017, and called for reducing numbers in some areas.

“Inuit believe there are now so many bears that public safety has become a major concern,” Inuit leaders wrote. “Public safety concerns, combined with the effects of polar bears on other species, suggest that in many Nunavut communities, the polar bear may have exceeded the co-existence threshold.”

That isn't a bad idea. Perhaps it will shift attention away from fake climate change and focus on cleaning up our shit,which is really important.

Nope I gave my opinion why Trump was tarnishing the image of an immortal martyr, and you did everything from calling me stupid to not understanding the ME, rather than tell me why you think it was wrong.

The Brits, and French created the ME monster by dividing the tribes to control the countries after taking control of the area from the Ottoman empire. The Muslim brotherhood used Nazi wolfpack teaching and training to focus their hate on Israel, after the Brits granted them some piece of useless land to call home. The cold war created the rest of the story pitting rights and freedoms against strict teaching of Sharia law combined with radical training through their Nazi teachers creating the hotspot it is now.

What's your version?

Here is an article offering some USEFUL ADVICE to LIE-berals- which sadly -they will IGNORE!! With some comments o! My own in brackets):

Trudeau should choose truth for a change

By Brian Lilley

Published: September 27, 2019. Updated: September 27, 2019 5:34 PM EDT

Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ Opinion/ Columnists

Even in Montreal, Justin Trudeau couldn’t help but campaign against Ontario’s premier.

(It is clear that Our idiot Boy Justin is TERRIFIED of the sort of influence that people like Doug Ford have on public opinion!! From the amount of comment made by LIE-berals during the election it seemed as if LIE-berals were campaigning against Ford and not Scheer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

The PM was announcing a new plan to plant 2 billion trees over the next 10 years when he took his latest shot at Doug Ford.

“Doug Ford tried to ax tree planting in Ontario. A shortsighted decision not just for our environment but for the hundreds of seasonal jobs that it puts at risk,” Trudeau said.

The Liberal leader was in Montreal to join the climate march that was mostly denouncing him and his government for not doing enough and denouncing his purchase of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

Trudeau’s answer to them is that his government will plant trees, and Conservatives, like Doug Ford, hate trees. Except that’s not true.

Like much of what Trudeau has been saying about Ford as he crosses Canada campaigning against Ontario’s premier, the tree claim is twisted like an old root bursting out of the ground.

Ontario did drop their 50 million tree program, first started in 2007, but they did so because it wasn’t planting enough trees. It averaged about 2.5 million trees a year and had not met the goals that were set when it was established and was not cost-effective.

By comparison, Ontario’s forestry industry plants 68 million trees a year without government subsidy.

(There IS A LIMIT to the number of trees that can be added to the urban tree “canopy”!! The market for new trees for urban areas certainly took a big jump in the aftermath of the BIG ICE STORM in 1998 but once the broken trees in public parks and boulevards are replaced - then what??????????????)

(And certainly the Emerald A sh Borer generated a certain market for trees in urban areas - to replace the Ash trees killed by the boring insects!! But that leaves NO PLACE to plant the millions of other trees that LIE-berals were subsidizing!! Thus Ford has simply recognized tree market REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

But hey, why let facts get in the way of attacking your opponent, or actually, not even your opponent. Doug Ford’s name won’t appear on a single ballot this election but from coast to coast, Justin Trudeau is campaigning against the Ontario premier.

“Are you not misleading voters by campaigning against somebody who isn’t even on the ballot and has different policies than Mr. Scheer?” Trudeau was asked by CTV reporter Glen McGregor on Thursday.

Trudeau’s response was to mislead anyone watching by attacking Ford and claiming those same policies belong to Andrew Scheer.

“You know who misled voters? Doug Ford said he was for the people and turned around and cut services for everyone while cutting taxes for the wealthiest,” Trudeau said.

I asked his campaign to name the tax cuts for the wealthiest that they keep mentioning at every turn because I couldn’t find these big tax cuts in any Ontario government document like say, the budget.

“Doug Ford eliminated a surtax on the highest earning Ontarians. He also cut estate taxes, further benefiting the wealthiest 1%,” said Trudeau spokesperson Eleanore Catenaro.

I looked up this supposed surtax cut, it doesn’t exist. The tax rates in Ontario under Doug Ford are the same as they were under former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne.

(Oh - this sounds like a BARE FACED DELIBERATE LIE-beral LIE!! WE should be DEEPLY AFRAID of a govt that is either so IGNORANT of policy they offer WRONG ANSWERS - or we should FEAR a govt that is so DELIBERATELY DECEPTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

All that happened is that Ford cancelled a tax hike that Wynne had proposed but not implemented.

(Oh- that sounds like LIE-beral Deception - simply cancelling future tax grabs for HOGS!! And of course it is al; Wynne-bag LIE-beral deception - tax increases for all and PAY RAISES for LIE-beral PALS!! Bait and switch IS the LIE-beral mantra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

As for estate taxes, the biggest tax cut there is eliminated a $250 fee for anyone settling the estate of a deceased loved one valued at less than $50,000. Is that how we now define the 1%?

(With LIE-berals getting caught muttering about NEW WEALTH TAXES that will kick in when you sell your house - that they later DENIED even considering due to the public anger at LIE-beral gravy grabbing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Justin Trudeau has spent a lot of time talking about positive politics and against the politics of fear. He’s spoken out against politicians who distort the truth to make their point and he even passed legislation to try to deal with misinformation being spread during elections.

Yet at stop after stop, he tells outright lies about his opponents. He doesn’t just torque or twist the truth to make him look better than his opponents — he lies.

I’ve been around politics long enough to know that this isn’t just a problem with Trudeau or the Liberal Party alone. But for him to continually preach that we can’t campaign on fear and that facts matter is a bit rich.

I’d like to start hearing the truth from Justin Trudeau but given how he has reacted to SNC-Lavalin, blackface and other problems he’s faced, I won’t be holding my breath.

(I suggest that getting DETAILED answers to the Lavalin mess is a PRIORITY!! It is one thing to “choose forward” with the idiot Boy but it is quite another thing to “choose forward with a convicted felon”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

(The available facts indicate that Wilson-Raybould -OUR Attorney General - WAS FIRED for her insistence that Trudope IS NOT LEGALLY PERMITTED to handle Lavalin as he desires - if her opinion is correct then that makes Our idiot Boy a FELON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
