I asked, concisely and simply, what was being hidden from us. Most of them just berated me, one user claimed the Syria conflict to which I provided a link to a recent UN Statement on which quite accurately reflected the conflict start to finish. Another user claimed that the recently declassified Nixon era documents about the Chilean revolution and coup, but I was able to find a 1973 archived Newspaper accusing the Nixon Admin of having a hand in it from Times Magazine meaning it was already a mainstream theory at the time.

      Nothing of this indicates that it’s in any way urgent. That was my point. The closest it comes, way way down after it’s talking about some flowers maybe doing some weird things, is:

      A warming of 3.5 degrees, according to experts, would cause widespread climatic and environmental dislocations, producing more extreme weather, raising the global sea level, causing precipitation patterns to change and shifting climatic and agricultural zones.

      Doesn’t sound too bad. What Gore said, during the election while the press criticized him for it and later when he found financing for a platform of his own, was:

      There are good people, who are in politics in both parties, who hold this at arm’s length, because if they acknowledge it and recognize it, then the moral imperative to make big changes is inescapable. … unless you fix the biggest damn crisis in the history of this country.

      Tony Blair’s scientific advisor has said that because of what’s happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. If Greenland broke up and melted, or if half of Greenland and half of West Antarctica broke up and melted, this is what would happen to the sea level in Florida. This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. A lot of people live in these areas. The Netherlands, one of the low countries. Absolutely devastating.

      The area around Beijing that’s home to tens of millions of people. Even worse, in the area around Shanghai, there are 40 million people. Worse still, Calcutta, and to the east, Bangladesh. Think of the impact of a couple hundred thousand refugees when they’re displaced by an environmental event. And then imagine the impact of a hundred million or more.

      Here’s Manhattan. This is the World Trade Center memorial site. And after the horrible events of 9/11, we said, “Never again.” But this is what would happen to Manhattan.

      All emphasis is mine. I just picked random stuff from his movie’s script. That’s the reality. I think people still don’t really grasp it, because the “business as usual” malpractice press got replaced with getting your news from Facebook instead of being replaced with something better, but it is at least possible to broadcast that message to a mass audience now without having to finance your own movie. In 1999, it wasn’t, and the news was refusing their duty to as the only ones who could do it.
