John: Sorry I didn’t see NPR’s show. You can’t use science to explain to a Liberal’s why their feelings aren’t scientific or wrong. Feelings are always correct!
Many years ago NPR was a reasonably balanced source of information on most topics it covered. In the last 20 years it has become an unabashed promoter of far left liberal causes. It needs to be defunded at the federal level.
As a PhD scientist, I became disgusted with "science" about 25 years ago, when the politicization of it became so apparent. What is really disheartening is that the public "education" system is now pumping out good little comrades who receive their full leftist grooming in college, and if they go on to higher degrees, obtain their elite leftist credentials. If if wasn't so damaging to so many aspects of society, it would be funny to listen to these "scientists" spout their propaganda.
Giving an interview to left wing organizations is a land mine. Unless there is a binding legal agreement that states that the entire transcript unaltered, and un-redacted of the interview is available to the public DO NOT consent to the interview. I would not waste my time with an organization i.e. NPR, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo etc. that has a agenda. I would NOT assume these people are journalist.
Roy: Yes, I'm well aware of that. In this case they were going to write a critical article anyway, about some citizens I had helped. I was supporting those good people. If I said nothing, the article would have been worse.
John, you make excellent points, but only us in the choir can hear you. Unfortunately, media like NPR are standing obstructively between you and the uninformed public who so desperately (yet unknowingly) NEED to hear what you have to say, for their own well being.
You, (indeed WE, the Royal WE) somehow must find a way to speak directly to the MSM’s huge audience, bypassing that ever-present FILTER. The MSM has their own agenda, and I’m afraid that when truth gets in the way of that agenda, it is simply rejected out of hand.
Russ: Yes, getting accurate information to the public has always been a challenge. I'm trying to do my part with several special websites, a popular Newsletter, this Substack, public talks, etc., etc. Hopefully readers here will pass this on, and maybe some sympathetic media sites will pick it up...
What NPR published and the manner of their interview with you has a long history in newspaper publishing. It has now fully passed over to broadcast and internet media.
Have you ever wondered why the Media hated, and I mean hated, Joe Paterno of Penn State football. They hated him for the same reason that they currently hate Bill Belichek. They both refused to voluntarily surrender valuable insight into the performance of their teams, because it would be used against them. Why would any rational thinking coach answer the question: ‘What were the failings of your team today, even though you won?” and “How are you going to prepare for the Eagles next week, including overcoming their pass rush that has averaged five QB sacks per game?” Paterno and Belichek gain nothing from granting an interview. If they do, then the Press looks like they have great insight and they sell more papers. And the coach for next week's team now knows how to beat Penn State and the Patriots.
In an attempt to correct the imbalance in the coverage of positive v. negative effects of Industrial Solar and Wind, we in good faith agree to interviews. Over and over again publishers promise to publish honestly what we say, and each time they ignore anything that disputes their narrative. What we find is that we play ‘Charlie Brown’ to their ‘Lucy Van Pelt’. Yet, we still believe that they will be honest and true to once hallowed journalism standards. And then they pull the football away at the last moment. All we have succeeded in accomplishing is to give them valuable insight into how we think and how we intend to modify or stop the adverse effects of Solar and Wind, which they, their readers and their supporters will use against us.
We cannot give interviews to the Lucys of publishing anymore. They will always distort or ignore what we say. We need instead to do what you are doing, John, creating our own information network, read free from their distortions. Dealing with unscrupulous publishers is like the poem below, if you let the public read it silently it delivers gibberish, but if you instead read it yourself, smoothly and aloud, suddenly it makes sense. How the message is delivered makes all the difference.

Interview
I spoke with a reporter the other day.
But for all intents and purposes, it doesn’t matter.
Consider this a Badge of Honor, John. Like the other speakers of truth in matters of energy, your knowledge and experience is merely "misinformation" in a world of cold-eyed revolutioneries bent on halting human progress.
Mark: Yes, TY. I firmly believe in the adage that you get the most flack when you are over the target. Indeed NPR and their ilk are annoyed that some citizens have been sufficiently educated to resist some of their left-wing non-science nonsense, like wind and solar.
The underlying premise is that we are rapidly approaching a climate apocalypse because of fossil fuel use. It make s no difference to them that China, India, and developing countries are the major sources of emissions and their emissions are growing. If they were really concerned about cost-effectiveness they would support natural gas and nuclear. But that is not their agenda. Killing fossil fuel use is.
But actual, global data, most significantly global sea level rise records of the past 100+ years, do not support ANY significant global warming, and therefore, there OBVIOUSLY can't be such a thing as man-made climate change.
John: Sorry I didn’t see NPR’s show. You can’t use science to explain to a Liberal’s why their feelings aren’t scientific or wrong. Feelings are always correct!
Is there a link to their show you responded to?
Your replies were excellent.

The fact that NPR attacked you means you are a voice worth listening to.
In Flanders it is the same situation. Western peoples are destroying themselves.

I consider the ability or its lack the distinction between ` modern and ` legacy media .

Mr. Droz - I read much of what you produce.
Most necessary in this day and age.
We need hundreds like you. Keep it up.

Jose: THANK YOU for your support. Please pass this on to other open-minded parties.
The underlying premise is that we are rapidly approaching a climate apocalypse because of fossil fuel use. It make s no difference to them that China, India, and developing countries are the major sources of emissions and their emissions are growing. If they were really concerned about cost-effectiveness they would support natural gas and nuclear. But that is not their agenda. Killing fossil fuel use is.
But actual, global data, most significantly global sea level rise records of the past 100+ years, do not support ANY significant global warming, and therefore, there OBVIOUSLY can't be such a thing as man-made climate change.
Their goal is control. Killing fossil fuels is just one of many ways to get there.
Great info John. Thank you for all you do informing us about 'green energy' the the corruption which goes with it.
Allen: Thank you for your kind words of support.
