Because the Associated Press wasn’t enough.

Some of the country’s biggest liberal foundations are behind a plan to inject climate hysteria into newsrooms across the country by encouraging journalists in all fields to employ left-wing tactics and talking points when reporting on climate change.

The Climate Blueprint for Media Transformation was born out of a 2023 climate conference sponsored by the Solutions Journalism Network and Covering Climate Now. The Solutions Journalism Network is funded by a who’s-who of left-wing foundations, including the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, the Ford Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Hewlett Foundation. The Gates Foundation has been instrumental in the war on meat, while the Hewlett Foundation has a track record of working to influence reporters.

Their influence can be seen in the Climate Blueprint, a 14-part guide for how journalists should cover climate change. Each section of the document is written by a different journalist or activist, and covers subjects ranging from “Community Engagement” to “Climate Justice.”

The intent of this isn’t just to transmit climate change propaganda, but also to demonize anyone who works in the fossil fuel industry while promoting climate cultists. The manual in question, the Daily Wire reports, also urges reporters to use the usual woke buzzwords such as reporters need to shift from chasing deadlines to meaningfully connecting with women, people of color, Indigenous peoples, the LGBTQIA+ community, and other groups more affected by the climate crisis.

The manual even encourages downplaying reporting on riots and other acts of violence including when it involves police officers.

In many ways, the left ratcheting up climate change propaganda is not surprising. Not only have they lost the debate, but it is ironic in light of the Washington Post‘s report indicating that the Earth’s average surface temperature is currently at its lowest level in the last 485 million years.

Additionally, as the Daily Wire notes, this year is the anniversary the Pentagon’s inaccurate 2004 predictions in a report to President George W. Bush, which predicted that in 20 years, climate change would cause significant turmoil worldwide, making Great Britain “Siberian” and resulting in nuclear conflict, drought, and famine.

A similar event took place last year, but all it seems to have done is to not only reinforce the media’s bias, yet hasn’t really contributed anything new in terms of climate change propaganda. The average consumer of news, likely, looks at hyped news stories about climate change and says So what?
