Climate scientists are now grading climate journalism

The internet represents an extraordinary opportunity for democracy.

Yet despite the scientific consensus that global warming is real and primarily due to human activity, studies show that only about half the population in some countries with among the highest CO2 emissions per capita understand that human beings are the driving force of our changing climate. Even fewer people are aware of the scientific consensus on this question.

Climate Feedback intends to change that. It brings together a global network of scientists who use a new web-annotation platform to provide feedback on climate change reporting. For the first time, Climate Feedback allows you to check whether you can trust the latest breaking story on climate change.

We argue that scientists have a moral duty to speak up when they see misinformation masquerading as science.

We want readers to know which sources they can trust. We want editors to think twice before they publish ideological rather than evidence-based reporting on global warming.

Scientists from all over the world are standing up for better informed democracies. You can help them make their voices heard. We invite you to stand with us for a better internet. We invite you to stand with science.

Public administrator scientists?

Science is not Democratic. If we have proven that large growing government entities always end in warfare or economic collapse or both, you must accept the science and pull your head out of your butt.
