Eric Hall (r.) called for the creation of climate change "imagination, and a
vision" through works of fiction.
"Broadcasters play a vital role by informing and educating the public about
the realities of climate change and the costs of inaction. Armed with
information, citizens are better equipped to push for meaningful and
responsible follow-through from their elected representatives. This is all
the more essential in the final days before Copenhagen."
Statement by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon for UNESCO's International
Conference on Broadcast Media and Climate Change
At a UNESCO conference in September of this year on how to best sell the
global warming hoax to selected target audiences, spokesman and
media-manager of the UN's Framework Convention on Climate Change Eric Hall
called for the creation of "an imagination, and a vision" through works of
fiction for people to chew on in the run-up and exceeding the Copenhagen
conference next week.
"That", Hall explained, "will come through film, it will come through soap
operas, it will come through reality TV, it will come through novels."
He made the statement at the conference "Broadcast Media and Climate Change"
, organized by the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
Attended by a wide range of public and private broadcasters from around the
globe, the meetings were recorded on tape for all to see and hear,
highlighting the need for- as one attendee described it: "raising awareness
on climate change worldwide".

To put Eric Hall's call for fiction-induced mind control into context, here
follows a short summary of the conference. Because the video's are
copyright-protected, they are not posted here (I have included the accurate
time-codes so the reader may easily look them up). The entire transcript

Jean Reveillon, Director General of the European Broadcasting Union,
outlines the mission at the very start of the conference (Session 1,
00:8:36):
"We believe that the subject at hand is of great importance and the very
idea that people from the media- and in particular broadcasters- be able to
come together and reflect on the best way to cover information on climate
change in order to provide the best possible public service mission that is
ours to the world (.)"
During the first session of the conference, we see a familiar face. Mr. IPCC
and co-receiver of the Nobel peace-prize Rajendra K. Pachauri tells us via
satellite link (Session 1, 01:05:00):
"Earlier speakers have referred to the importance of bringing about
behavioural changes- and may I submit that these behavioural changes would
essentially be in the nature of changes in lifestyles. There a several
things that we can do in our individual lives and I think the broadcasting
community perhaps needs to go out and tell people- and create a grass-roots
movement (.)."
When broadcasters tell people what to do, any movement as a result of it
would of course no longer be grass-roots. Vice-Chair of the IPCC,
Jean-Pascal Van Ypersele, seconds Mr. Pachauri's statements, saying (Session
1, 01:12:08):
"We are very much convinced in the IPCC that media- in particular broadcast
media which talks to so many people at the same time- have a particular role
to inform and educate the citizens throughout the world; and the IPCC is
really keen on collaborating with you and trying to provide the best
information, the most understandable information so that you can do your
very important work."
In response, the Director General of the European Broadcasting Union
immediately replied:
"Thank you very much. And indeed I can confirm that we from the media want
to do our best to accomplish that mission."
Another UN PR-person states (Session 1, 01:19:42):
"It is very important that the media seize this moment and help the United
Nations and help others if they can. Very soon the United Nations will be
putting out as part of its campaign a public service announcement. We hope
you will work with us as far as that is concerned. I also pray that you'll
examine all roads. You look truly at revolutionary ways on climate change
coverage."
An interesting intermezzo was provided by speaker Alex Kirby, a 20-year BBC
veteran environment reporter, who openly stated he cares not for opposing
views of the IPCC fairytale, bizarrely comparing climate-sceptics to
Apartheid proponents (Session 1, 01:36:35):
"I've never thought it is part of the journalists' job to try to inject an
artificial and spurious balance into an unbalanced reality. If I have been
sent to do a story on Apartheid or poverty or starvation, I hope to God I
would not have tried to do a balanced story. And I think the same applies to
climate change."
Even more interesting than the statement itself is the fact that it is not
included in the transcript of his speech, posted here on the UNESCO-website.
But the most curious statement coming out of the mouth of a UN
communications person is that uttered by Eric Hall- chief PR-man at the
United Nations. Hall outlined the way that climate change can best be
hammered into the collective is through works of fiction (Session 2,
00:39:06):
"Probably the majority of the world does not read news at all. They don't
look at news as to change, to get their information or to change their
behaviour. If climate change is about behavioural change, ultimately which I
believe it is, then from a media perspective you must, you must look at it
in a way that it's not just about news. It's about creating an imagination,
and a vision, of what a climate change world- or a successfully avoided
climate change world- will look like. That will come through film, it will
come through soap operas, it will come through reality TV, it will come
through novels."
Hall draws an analogy with media-coverage in the Cold War era:
"If we did not have that visual imagination from the non-news part of the
media about what a post-nuclear world would have looked like, we would have
been in much more serious trouble that we have been if we wouldn't have got
the kind of agreements we had on the nuclear problem - itself a similar
human civilization threatening problem."
It seems that the greatest work of fiction shoved in humanity's face today
is the man-made global warming contrivance. Thanks to the leaked documents
of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, the mass mind
control activities of most of the broadcasters is breaking down. The recent
comments by high level media people about climategate indicates that the
propaganda effort is blowing up in the face of those who perpetuate the lie
all this time. If UNESCO's Walter Erdelen would have known that crucial
information would be leaked to the general public almost three months later,
he probably wouldn't have bragged about his organisation's role in
perpetuating the myth nor highlighted UNESCO's large role in the selling of
it:
"This crucial role is largely invisible to the public eye. UNESCO has long
sponsored the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and the Global Climate
Observing System (GCOS), which are precisely what their names imply, and are
fundamental to the progress made by the Nobel Prize-winning
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Fully 91% of coordinating
authors of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report were WCRP scientists, and
thus had the support of UNESCO behind them."
This is a good example of a statement turning into a confession in
retrospect. All those institutions involved will, after all, be held to
account for the role they have played in this whole sordid affair.
