The Higgs Boson, Global Warming And Green Energy

01.01.70

Even as the Durban talks broke up after a ritual last-ditch 72-hour talkathon, during which the Europeans scuppered any prospect of getting what they pretend they wanted - worldwide and uniform emissions standards and limits with financial penalties for exceeding them - big changes were taking place. The ice cliff of seamless and total support by mainstream media to the most extreme, so-called scientific stances on, or explanations of "climate catastrophe" was breaking up and floating in the dangerously warming, ever more acidic oceans of the world. The media seemed to have forgotten about global warming, after a long and insanely obsessional flirt with the subject.

Durban reporting was as they say "low key". Rearguard action included a few ritual 20-minute-specials on evening primetime news shows in Committed Nations, almost exclusively European, showing the ice cliffs, polar bears, factory chimneys, windmills and bicycles, and what have you, but it was clear this was a bow-out phenomenon. News of latest developments from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was given almost as much airtime. Explanations of What It All Means were deliberately humorous. Ringing funeral chimes for the Climate Crazies, humour is also slipping into residual and remaining media treatment of "the most massive crisis of all time".
