Search for “climate change” on YouTube and before long you’ll likely find a video that denies it exists. In fact, when it comes to shaping the online conversation around climate change, a new study suggests that deniers and conspiracy theorists might hold an edge over those believing in science. Researchers found evidence that most YouTube videos relating to climate change oppose the scientific consensus that it’s primarily caused by human activities.
The study highlights the key role of social media use in the spread of scientific misinformation. And it suggests scientists and those who support them need to be more active in developing creative and compelling ways to communicate their findings. But more importantly, we need to be worried about the effects that maliciously manipulated scientific information can have on our behavior, individually and as a society.
The recent study by Joachim Allgaier of RWTH Aachen University in Germany analyzed the content of a randomized sample of 200 YouTube videos related to climate change. He found that a majority (107) of the videos either denied that climate change was caused by humans or claimed that climate change was a conspiracy.
The videos peddling the conspiracy theories received the highest number of views. And those spreading these conspiracy theories used terms like “geoengineering” to make it seem like their claims had a scientific basis when, in fact, they did not.

The climate change scam brought up for a vote by the hoax deniers - the ultimate socialist dream.
I like the term “Hoax Denier”.
Weather Channel founder John Coleman calls it “the greatest scam in history.”
Lost me right there. What a joke of a statement. 😆
Climate change is real.
Man made climate change is not.
See how they have slowly morphed from “global cooling” to “global warming” to “climate change”.
By dropping “man made” from climate change they can make a case that the earth’s climate is in fact changing.
The big lie is that forcing humans to return to per-industrial life will make a difference. It will not.
Because real science relies on censorship and intimidation, rather than objectively verifiable proof. /s
Climate change is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on mankind other than Al Franken being a funny comedian.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Yep, pretty much changes every season, month-to-month, week-to-week, day-to-day, hour-to-hour, well you get the picture. 8>)
It evens experiences periods of warming and cooling, and these periods have repeated themselves numerous times. At least science has told us it has. I believe that science as it actually tracks the weather. There is no evidence whatsoever that any of these periods science has told us about, could have possibly been caused by human activity. They do, however, seem to correlate directly to activity experienced on that large yellow object in the sky that humans have labeled as the sun.
Search Tony Heller on YouTube. He shows how they manipulate the data.
“...could have possibly been caused by human activity.”
Actually man can change the local climate a bit.
Large cities tend to trap the heat where they are hotter then the surrounding countryside.
In the country planting trees will tend to cool the local environment.
But as I understand it, these effects are local and do not change the earth climate much.
No, the two things that really control our climate is the sun and the oceans.
The land I’m standing on now was once molten. So there’s global cooling for ya.
Here’s Leonard Nimoy narrating new Ice Age climate change:
