Cotton Prices Soar "Cold For Thousands Of Years" Without Mentioning "China"

Since October 7th, the news that "Europe is going to be in the cold winter of one thousand years, China or other Asian regions or is difficult to escape" has been seen in the major media in China.

But who knows, the "thousand years of extreme cold" is a "floating cloud".

Through the overseas call, the reporter found the mysterious "Poland scientist" referred to in the media, Kovar Voss Ki, a climologist from the Institute of Meteorology and water management in Poland.

In an interview,

The expert status is "vague."

Through all kinds of reports in the country, the "extremely cold" news that journalists can find is first seen in the Yangtze Evening News in October 7th this year.

The article, entitled "the winter of the northern hemisphere will meet" a thousand years of extreme cold, "China's fear of escape. The article points out:" Poland meteorological experts warned that Europe may face a new "low temperature", and China and other Asian regions may also be immune to it.

Which meteorological expert in Poland? When and where did I say it? No mention was made in this article.

So, the reporter also searched a large number of relevant reports of the domestic network media and print media, and they were all "vague."

A lot of multimedia actually reproduced the news of the Yangtze Evening News in October 7th, and some reports on the identity of the prophet are very different. Some are called "Poland scientists", some are called "Poland scholars" and others are "Poland experts".

As we all know, the authoritative opinion on Meteorology should be that of meteorologists or geographers. What is the credibility of the so-called "scientists", "scholars" and "experts"?

However, it is interesting, the news in the second days in the domestic report, that is, October 8th, the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock market margin market burst out of the sky, two city financing buying exceeded 600 million yuan to create a new high.

88 stocks traded on that day,

"Cold for thousands of years" did not mention "China"

With a series of questions, reporters continue to find relevant reports from foreign media.

Beginning in September 10th, the news of the "Millennium cold" began to ferment in the major media in Poland, and appeared on the Russian Regnum news network in September 16th. Its report said, "Poland meteorologists have said that Europe will usher in the coldest winter since 1000.

The warm Gulf Stream of Mexico is weakening, and it will stop providing Europe with a barrier against the Arctic cold. "

As a federal news agency, "Regnum" has the most say in the Russian media.

Almost the same day, the news spread in Eastern Europe, the most influential "VI" website in Ukraine, and today's Armenia press and so on.

Even China's international online can see this reproduced news.

In October 4th, the Russian television station, which was rolling in 24 hours, further stimulated the news around the world, and confirmed it by the phenomenon of two or three degrees Celsius below the average temperature in central Russia.

However, it is worth noting that foreign media coverage of "extremely cold" is all about "

Domestic reports mostly include "feeding".

Then, why is it that "China and other Asian regions are also immune"?

Yesterday, the reporter interviewed Song Shifeng, the author of the Yangtze River evening news, the author of the northern hemisphere's winter this year.

According to his introduction, most of his reports are derived from the contents of the Russian Regnum news network and the daily mail of the United Kingdom.

As for why the "China" is also included in the "Millennium cold" range? Song Shifeng admits: "Russia's Regnum news network and other reports, did not mention China, all about Europe.

I made a supplement according to the prediction of Hongkong meteorological observatory.

Poland experts shout injustice

Who is the "Poland scientist" ("expert" and "Scholar") who has never appeared in newspapers at home and abroad?

In view of the domestic media's "Millennium cold" theory from Russia's "Regnum news network".

Yesterday, the new express reporter contacted the Moscow based "Regnum" in this connection, but because the reporter who wrote the news was unable to get in touch for a while, although the responsible person would send an e-mail confirmation later, as of the time of the press release, the e-mail left by reporters remained empty.

Subsequently, the reporter contacted the "Poland meteorological and Water Management Institute", and after several twists and turns, the mysterious "Poland scientist" finally came out, he is the climates of the Institute, Kovar Voss Ki.

When he heard that he had become a "red man" in the recent international news, Kovar Voss Ki claimed that he was "not aware of the situation" and that he was confused about the "cold of the Millennium".

After roughly reporting the reports at home and abroad, Kovar Voss Ki shouted injustice and told the truth.

It turned out that in early September, Kovar Voss Ki had accepted the visit of TokFM radio station in Poland.

At that time, he was asked, "what will happen to the world if Mexico ocean currents stop moving?" in response, Kovar and Voski expressed their views on the basis of pattern inference.

"I am a climographer and not a weather forecaster. How can I predict the weather?" he told the new express reporter that he did not say that Europe would encounter the word "one thousand years of winter". That is what the media said out of context.

In his speech, he was very dissatisfied with the practices of the relevant media, and hoped to use the new express to "prove his innocence".

Reporters on the TOKFM radio station's website saw that the site actually posted a news of Kovar Voss Ki's visit to Poland in September 10th, but Wen did not mention anything about the "thousand years of extreme cold". But the headlines of the news appeared "thousand years of cold winter", and it was repmitted by many websites in the city, which triggered a farce.

Scholar viewpoint

Fan Yijin (famous newspaper reporter, Dean of School of Journalism and communication, Jinan University)

Collective forwarding "miscommunication" exposes the media "impetuous"

"Under the current big information explosion, the traditional media is under the pressure of competition, and it is understandable to rush against the new media, but it is also necessary to ensure its authority and objectivity." what is the place that the traditional media should put in itself?

Fan Yijin thought, "the millennium is extremely cold", the big stock market, small to add clothing, involves the interests of millions of households.

Therefore, reports must be cautious and objective.

Domestic media reprint foreign media reports, if the foreign report is false miscommunication, pshipment error is inevitable; but in the reprint of foreign newspapers, and through their own "reasonable imagination" to add information, so wrong should not be.

Fan Yijin believes that the reasons for such inaccurate media information and public panic are not only to compete with new media, but also to the increasingly impetuous mentality of journalists.

Zhan Jiang (famous journalism scholar, Professor of Journalism Department, Beijing Foreign Studies University)

Misrepresentation of "a thousand years of extreme cold" is not necessarily a bad thing.

Zhan Jiang said frankly that forwarding false reports is harmful to the authority and credibility of the media.

The "degree" he refers to is "whether to cause harm to society and harm the public's actual interests".

"At present, the" Millennium cold "theory has not caused such a consequence. It can still be corrected through the media's" self correction ", that is, to continue to pursue the facts and make up for it with facts.
