‘Humiliating’: 2004 Guardian Report Peddling Climate Doom By 2020 Frozen Out

Eco-extremists in the Liberal Guardian The internet can never be stopped. The internet is forever. 17 years ago, the outlet was terrified by a Pentagon prediction that would prove to be wildly incorrect.

The Guardian published a report in 2004 sounding the alarm bells over a “secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs” and obtained by sister newspaper The Observer. This was the heartbreaking message according to The Guardian “[M]ajor European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a ‘Siberian’ climate by 2020.” 

It’s now 2021, and major European cities are still intact and a Reuters report this year flushes The Guardian’s frets about a little ice age in Britain down the toilet. Reuters trumpeted: “Britain’s climate getting warmer, sunnier and wetter – Met Office.” Travel website Touropia has an updated report headlined, “25 Best Cities to Visit in Europe.” Even the waterway-dominated Venice, Italy is No. 17 are on the list. Ouch.

Liberalization Guardian had even gone so far as to propagandize how the world was supposedly going to end up experiencing “nuclear conflict” because of climate change. The report flailed in its lede paragraph: “Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters.”

Propaganda spiraled down into the swirl of madness:

The [Pentagon]According to a report, abrupt climate change may bring about anarchy on the planet as nations develop nuclear threats to protect and defend their diminishing food, water and energy resources. Experts who have seen the contents of this document say that global stability threatens terrorism far more than terrorism.

Here’s the hilarious part The Guardian’s prophecy about total eco-Armageddon was that it said the report’s “findings” would prove “It is humiliatingYou can find more information here [President George W. Bush’s] administration, which has repeatedly denied that climate change even exists.” But the only thing “humiliating” about this report was the fact some of the major predictions never panned out, eh Guardian?

The Guardian isn’t the only publication to see major climate scare-porn it peddled go up in flames. 

In 1995 The New York Times tried to frighten readers into believing that “most of the beaches on the East Coast of the United States would be gone in 25 years,” which would be the year 2020. Newsflash: East Coast beaches also remain intact. U.S. News & World Report even ran a report in May 2020 headlined: “16 Top East Coast Beaches to Visit.”

Conservatives are being attacked. Get in touch with The Guardian guardian.readers@theguardian.comIt must be made clear that it will correct the distorted climate beliefs it has helped to propagate since 2004.
