Selling Global Warming Like Toothpaste

"...the New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) are hiring a public relations outfit, using $500,000 per year of public money, to 'maintain a positive narrative' and “respond to negative viewpoints” about the state’s Climate Act." 

 --- Above from New York Press Release    
    
Anyone else notice that climate "science" has probably spent more on advertising agencies and public relations than every other science in history combined?

One of the things I've noticed about those on the left side is the aisle is that they believe everyone else just "doesn't understand," and if they have some left-wing Hollywood celebrity or patronizing left-wing PR spin doctor, people will change their minds. After all, doesn't everyone recognize Alyssa Milano as an expert on climate?! They assume that -- regardless of being bombarded with propaganda for the past 35 years, people haven't thought about the topic. 

I've often wondered that when the (relatively few) of these people were in college studying climate*, geology, or meteorology, whether they saw themselves working with Mad Men-types to get people to trust their science? Somehow, I doubt it. 

Pro Tip: The problem isn't that public doesn't believe the climate has changed. They don't trust climate scientists and they especially don't trust the scientists' and leftists' 'solutions' (eating bugs, putting farmers and ranchers out of business, giving up gas stoves, forcing people to purchase electric cars, etc., etc.) that put undue burdens on the average people -- while they fly around on private jets. 

While on the topic of convincing people to join the climate alarmist crowd, I gave some thought to applying for the job that is the topic of the employment announcement sent to me last Tuesday.
Huge salary for a remote job. Looks like I would get to be prosecutor, judge and jury. Sounds great, right??


* Very few of these advocates have actually studied the science of climate. They mostly pay attention to what others have told them.

A couple of tornadoes, hail and wind gusts to 65 mph are possible with these storms. This includes NYC and Philadelphia.  1:05pm. The tornado risk has been extended northward into New York. The brown area has a significant risk of tornadoes. Remember: if a tornado warning is issued, go to your basement and get under heavy furniture like a pool table. Of, if your basement is finished, get into the bathroom. Go ahead an put a couple of water bottles and, if appropriate, diapers in your shelter area. Wear shoes.  If you don't have a basement or safe room, go to the lowest floor and get into a bath or closet in the middle of your home. Children should be put in the bathtub.  I'll update later today.

Note: An Updated Forecast is Available HERE Freezing Rain The National Weather Service has now issued winter weather advisories, two warnings and a watch. It may be a bit too large but, when it comes to freezing rain and slick roads, caution is usually the better course of action.  Here's a color code: Deep purple is an ice storm warning; serious condition where power outages are possible. Pink is a winter storm warning for significant icing. Deep green is a winter storm watch. I don't know why this is still a watch. If I were on the forecast desk I would have a winter storm warning for icing.  Dark blue is a winter weather advisory, a lesser condition, for icing.  Here is a view of the entire watch/warning/advisory area. The small area of green in Illinois is for flooding and, in Nebraska, for snow.  Here is a forecast of freezing rain amounts; totals to 6am Tuesday.  Color codes: Yellow is 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Power outages may occur in this areas. Deep blue i...
