I number of people who realise lies, may be taken in by future media assurances that if listeners do what’s asked to avoid a future end of time market crash, listeners will save themselves from considerable loss of wealth. Media’s bad advice to listeners to sell property during repressed market prices, listeners losing considerable wealth.
The media are little more that entertaining confidence trickery.

Much of the what politicians and media are presenting has much to do with distracting human boredom towards limited information that often can't be proven incorrect.

What politicians do and say behind closed doors can't be assumed as wrong, yet should be assumed as planned drama performances classroom intelligent dramas.

Climate Change dramas are set to go on forever. drama arguments on whether climate change is caused by humans or all more about the sun is doing won't be mentioned by media news. If the sun's involvement becomes a topic, media will be prompting listeners to think for themselves, rather than telling listeners what to believe in vague understanding headline shifting around statements.

I think most people would consider AGW science is settled because legislation was enacted to charge money for carbon emission.

Numerous politicians and their climate science advisors have said numerous times that the science is settled, when in reality that science is not settled.

Billions have however been milked from treasury and business and pockets and purses, when in reality climate science is nowhere near settled.

On one of the Jennifer Marohasy threads here on OLO a seemingly well educated poster repeatedly said there was consensus between 30,000 scientists about AGW. When challenged about the extra nought there was no reply but the 30,000 claim suddenly ceased.

JF Aus,
the science is "settled" to the extent that we know that burning valuable resources of highly reduced carbon is stupid.

You're on the wrong side of history, buck up your ideas.

Some of you might like to Google Ottmar (Otto) Edenhofer, economist and former official of the IPCC who, in 2010, made no bones about the fact that the cilmate scam is nothing to do with the environment, but all about redistribution of wealth.

And, have a look at Naomi Klein, Leftist write, who said: "It's not about carbon, it's about capitalism".

Two people, in favour of defrauding the world, who are actually honest.

ttbn,
Naomi Klein was right, the reason the world has been so slow to act on the horrendous waste of valuable carbon is that a few crony capitalists have been making so much money out of it.

Here's an interesting clip of that well known socialist agent provocateur Milton Friedman discussing a related topic; the distribution of ownership of national assets.
