Man-made weather control is such unscientific witchcraft it needs professional teams of coaches to maintain the mythology. It’s not enough to pump the doctrine in the nightly news, they have to nudge them while they get a cut n’ color.
We’ve now descended to the Pravda School of Hairdressing Science in order to keep the climate bubble floating above cold weather and shocking power bills. According to The Guardian customers are “embarrassed” that they don’t understand climate science, and can’t wait to have their hairdresser to explain radiative physics to them. Sorry, I mean, to sell them a solar panel or teach them how to lose money with an environmental pension fund. Sounds like a fun haircut, eh?
But who has the time (or money) to train 400 hairdressers in Sydney? The Climate Council of course. Tony Thomas does a deep dive into the media machine that they are. They have an $8.3 million budget from donations, and a staff of 50, including 20 full time media professionals.
As well as hairdressers the Climate Council trains firefighters, farmers, vets, surfers, football players, Aboriginal indentifiers, and of course “the media” itself. The team who are supposed to expose the industry lobbyists are trained by them to parrot their message.
Tell your friends, if the evidence for climate change was so overwhelming, why do they need $8 million dollar professional communication machines to teach hair-dressers and journalists how to respond to skeptical questions? We didn’t need a Gravity Council or a committee to explain the science of passenger planes. For thirty years children have been bombed with the permitted climate lines at school. If Climate Science wasn’t a leaking ship sinking in the Bay of Reality, the climate cartel wouldn’t be so afraid of skeptical hairdressers.

On Climate, the Media is the Massage

The Council’s 2022 annual report boasts of its “drumbeat” of climate calamity, citing the planting of more than 22,000 stories in the media last year intended to influence “millions” of Australians. That’s 800 items a week obligingly regurgitated by stenographers identifying as journalists, plus a further 20,000 media items “supported” via third-party climate enthusiasts.[3] The Council not only spoon-feeds alarmism to reporters, it actually trains them with union help to propagate the narrative: in 2022, it teamed up with the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, to provide expert advice to journalists nationwide on accurately and responsibly reporting on the climate [supposed] crisis.
The engine room of the Council is its Climate Media Centre. It likes to keep its dark arts there under wraps: You won’t see the Climate Media Centre mentioned in the media, but you will have heard the voices of the dozens of everyday Australians we support” and “You won’t read about the Climate Media Centre in the news.” (Annual Report 20-21 p30),
These days the Council’ has 50 staff – including close to 20 media spinners [4]
Just appreciate how embedded and networked the climate meme is in the layers of government and organisations:
The Council mini-mes push its messaging from multiple directions.
♦ The before-mentioned Emergency Leaders for Climate Action (ELCA) has 40 emergency workers using their credibility to lobby all levels of government, while “facilitating countless media moments”. The Council actually counted ELCA’s “countless” media mentions, citing 78,000 from the 2019-20 fire season alone. (AR 20, p16). ELCA people might be good at their emergency jobs, but their expertise doesn’t extend to the merits of reconfiguring Australia’s electricity grid and net-zero CO2 by 2035 or 2050. The Emergency Leaders also scamper around the UN’s useless COP conferences parading Australia’s fires and floods survivors as icons for the world media.
♦ Another Council success is its “Cities Power Partnership”, with about 175 councils, shires, cities and capitals signing up to push climate follies onto ratepayers. The Climate Council spends 10 per cent of its budget coaching these green-captured entities, leveraging into 69 per cent of the Australian population. These councils are now replete with “climate emergency declarations” and multiple “Sustainability Officers” on six-figure pay. The Climate Council can readily mobilise 17 local mayors to lament climate’s alleged role in the floods and fires (605 media hits). It has also packaged all ten Hunter Valley shires to spruik anti-emissions on the coalfields.
The Climate Council was created by a Labor Prime Minister in 2011. It was closed by the following conservative government in 2013 whereupon it was rebirthed as a charity and funded by donors so it could continue producing Labor Green political material and supporting the industries that need Big Government support. What a coincidence…
Part of their income comes from the foreign Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, but they have some local billionaires too. Presumably anyone standing to profit from solar, wind, batteries, desalination plants, carbon farming, eco-tourism, transmission line construction, precious metal mining, “ethical” investment, and electric vehicles has plenty of reasons to invest in the propaganda.
It’s like tax-deductable advertising.
