The Big Lie

From the International Arctic Research Center:
The red line indicates that we have the highest observed Arctic ice levels in years.
Meanwhile, from the mendacity industry:
Halt Ice Melt, Pleads Gore
Arctic Ocean Could Be Ice-free in Summer Within 100 Years, Scientists Say
Scientists Issue Warning on Future of Central Arctic
Massive Surge in Disappearance of Arctic Sea Ice Sparks Global Warning
New Warning Over 'Catastrophic' Sea Level Rise, Scientists Claim
There are a million more where these came from. The underlying theory was pioneered by Joseph Goebbels:
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
Goebbels continues:
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
By the same token, the liberal media is the greatest friend of the State.
