Story tip – hatchet job needed.

This is all over the British media – particularly on… the BBC and in the Guardian. And it’s beginning to do my head in. Time for a WUWT riposte?

Why the sudden push?

“If the site is approved by the scientists who oversee the geological timescale the official declaration of the Anthropocene as a new geological epoch will come in August 2024….”

I see… So, time to ramp up the psychological pressure…

“In a time of deep planetary change, how do we begin to recover from the trauma of climate change?

As humans, we face diverse experiences and pressures that require healing. And as a new epoch is unfolding – the Anthropocene – deep planetary changes and environmental destruction are necessitating healing at individual, community and global scales. Feelings of pain, suffering, fear, anger and grief for those directly affected by climate change or those watching through TV screens are real.”

All ist klar. It’s the same strategy. Scare, scare and scare again.
