We’ve seen some examples of right wing propaganda here on Community Spirit and for those who gave examples we will be eternally grateful. However, a fine example of left wing propaganda should be entered into the debate to demonstrate that left wing propaganda exists. Most people are aware of the tactics used to cow people into thinking that the world was coming to an end. Stories about global warming were started to alacrify people. Gaia saw the ranks of her footsoldiers swell. Those not in thrall to global warming were branded as deniers. Marshall Applewhite, Lee Jang Rim, and Jim Jones would have given their right arms to attract so many gullible people.
Juxtapose the following two stories to see how left wing propaganda is just that; propaganda.
Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past
BY CHARLES ONIANS Monday 20 March 2000
Britain's winter ends tomorrow with further indications of a striking environmental change: snow is starting to disappear from our lives.
The first two months of 2000 were virtually free of significant snowfall in much of lowland Britain, and December brought only moderate snowfall in the South-east. It is the continuation of a trend that has been increasingly visible in the past 15 years: in the south of England, for instance, from 1970 to 1995 snow and sleet fell for an average of 3.7 days, while from 1988 to 1995 the average was 0.7 days. London's last substantial snowfall was in February 1991.
"Children just aren't going to know what snow is," he said.

The events and predictions about global warming and climate change saw many well placed people lay claim to theomania and little else.
