CNN Visualizes Climate Change-Driven Arctic Melt With 360-Degree VR Video (cnn.com)
dryriver writes: CNN has put up a slickly produced and somewhat alarming 360-degree browser video experience that allows the viewer to see firsthand what arctic melt looks like in Greenland. The video takes the viewer to the "Ground Zero" of climate change. Throughout the 7-minute long video, the viewer can interactively look around the locations visited. Voice narration and various scientists featured in the video explain what is happening in the Arctic, what causes the melting, and what the potential consequences are for the world.
Agreed. And once Earth's Oceans reach 212C which is a long way off (admittantly) they will all boil and starve the Earth of all the water/nutrients needed to sustain life so we need to proactively take action today
CNN does a pretty good job scaring people.
There's a reason they used the voice of Darth Vader to say "This is CNN".

I think what they're doing is admirable, once you understand the sort of society they operate in.
They are a minor house, bannermen sworn to House Democrat. As a feudal vassal they are expected to inveigh against the current ruling King Donald of House Trump and attempt to restore what they see as the rightful ruling house.
You can't judge them by modern standards, you have to judge them according the standards of morality which operate in the feudal society they live in.
Expecting them to think about things like 'truth' and 'journalism' is completely anachronistic. It'd be like expecting packs of dogs to treat members of rival pack the same way they treat the alpha of their pack. Of course they yap at members of rival packs and bend over and expose their bellies in submissive way to the alpha. All their ancestors did that and the ones that didn't weren't given food and weren't allowed to mate with the interns and thus their genes didn't survive. The ones who played by the rules were allowed to breed whether the interns wanted it or not. So evolution has selected for this behaviour and essentially for this morality. Expecting them to treat non ingroup members of their species the same as ingroup ones is ridiculous! Same with expecting them to worry about whether the interns wanted to be bred with! Dog society has different rules than our society.
And it's the same with CNN. You can't expect them to behave like humans.
