the echo chamber

Public Relations slang for the tactic of repeating some fake factoid so loudly and so often that many people start to believe it. It is even more effective if public figures and celebrities are used in the echo chamber.

This technique was used for years to debunk those who noted the first signs of climate change.

climate change

A term used instead of global warming because the full impact of human caused CO2 emissions isn't known to scientists, and many are predicting that worldwide heating of the atmosphere may cause changes in ocean currents, and therefore, in some cases, cooling of some areas like the Eastern seaboard of North America.

The existence of climate change is virtually undisputed by all the world's leading scientists. The only people who mock it are fools who have been duped by the echo chamber created by junk science manufactured by oil companies and car manufacturers, in short, those who have a vested instrest in the status quo.

Only a complete retard or a goof would believe that climate change isn't occuring, or that "left wing" envirotards are part of some vast conspiracy to make-believe that we are in the midst of the sixth great extinction. What possible motive would these pinko commies have to pretend that the climate is changing? What benefit would such chicken little posturing have to them? The answer is no benefit whatsoever.

If you aren't sure whose motives are suspect, think of the old Roman proverb "look to see who benefits". Enviromentalists don't have some secret hidden agenda, they sincerly just want to live on a habitable planet. They don't make money from saving forests. Who makes money, the corporations, or the environmentalists?

Think about it, as a person who probably acts in their own rational self interest, who is more likely to lie and cheat, the party who stands to make or lose money? Or the poor buffoon who just wants to save some owls, and maybe breathe clean air?

Does anyone really honestly think their car exhaust dissapears?

Roach Goblin

A legendary creature known to the stoners of Williams Lake British Columbia. If one does not placate the roach goblin by occaisionally throwing a roach into the woods, the goblin has been known to nab useful items. If, however, one is careful to satisfy the Roach Goblin, he has been known to leave gifts of weed, money, pens and lighters to good little stoners.

The Roach Goblin is two feet high, and has green skin, purple eyes and blonde hair. He wears a tattered felt jacket with coat-tails, pointy blue leather shoes, grey wool socks, brown breeches, white gloves, and a red silk shirt. His hat is sky blue, peaked and adorned with three feathers, one yellow, one green and one red. He carries a ebony cane topped with an onyx sphere in his left hand. There is a golden pocket-watch in his right pocket.
Dude, toss that roach to the Roach Goblin, or you'll lose your buspass for sure.
