Who is qualified to determine what is “climate misinformation” or not? There is no central authority in science which makes final declarations. Science involves constant research, revision, improving and fine-tuning. When “science” becomes dogmatic, it is no longer science.

Government does not have that qualification. Social media CEOs don’t either.

The only sane course of action is to let everyone post their own opinions with censorship only for things that lead to someone getting hurt, like the crap that’s on Tiktok right now.

How does β€˜the verge’ know what is or is not climate misinformation?

I’d bet not one of these pretend-to-be journalists could answer a question like, “What was the Younger Dryas?”. They know nothing except the propaganda they repeat like a catechism.

As long as they don’t become lightning rods every thing should be ok.

when algore started all those years before, he was lying then, to make money for his gargantuan castle electric bills.

every one of those crying out climate change, live within 30 yards of the waterline on the beach.

its alays 12 years away, whether algore, obama, thurnnberg, or AOC! Never has the timeframe lessened between cryers.

Any time I see the word "misinformation" now, I instantly translate it into "truth".

"Climate truth"

As a Twitter reader, I’ll tell you something else; a lot of times these deniers post FACTS, which are in complete contradiction to the global warming scam. The government needs to stop Elon from allowing this.
