"We're becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it," the UN's Melissa Fleming said at the WEF's "Sustainable Development Impact Meetings."

During a World Economic Forum (WEF) anti-disinformation panel last week, a United Nations representative announced that they "own the science," in reference to their "climate information" partnership with Google.

At the WEF's "Sustainable Development Impact Meetings," participants from the UN, CNN, and Brown University discussed best practices on controlling narratives as part of the "Tackling Disinformation" panel.

The UN's Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications, Melissa Fleming, brought up their partnership with big tech companies including TikTok and Google that contribute to controlling the narrative on climate change.

According to Fleming, the Google search results now prioritize UN links.

"We partnered with Google," she said, adding, "for example, if you Google 'climate change,' you will, at the top of your search, you will get all kinds of UN resources."

"We started this partnership when we were shocked to see that when we Googled 'climate change,' we were getting incredibly distorted information right at the top," she said, before claiming ownership of science.

"We're becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do," she said.

Fleming also highlighted that the UN collaborated with TikTok on a project named "Team Halo" to boost specific Covid narratives on the Chinese-owned video sharing platform, reported Sociable.

"We had another trusted messenger project, which was called 'Team Halo' where we trained scientists around the world and some doctors on TikTok, and we had TikTok working with us," Fleming said.

She went on to admit that the strategy to counter people's distrust of institutions such as the UN in relation to Covid information was to recruit influencers to prompt their messaging.

"Another really key strategy we had was to deploy influencers," she said, adding, "influencers who were really keen, who have huge followings, but really keen to help carry messages that were going to serve their communities, and they were much more trusted than the United Nations telling them something from New York City headquarters."

“Influencers” are the epitome of the “appeal to authority” fallacy, without the authority fallacy.

Heh, you think you own it, UN? Just try to come and take it. Science is a total enemy with your collection of clowns & goons. Call us when your entire organization does not use petrol power, rides everywhere on bikes, has no A/C in that horrid looking outdated and undoubtedly infected NYC building, and takes sailboats back and forth across the Atlantic instead of flying first class. Eff you and the sewer you oozed out of. Take your books by Marx and other cretins and go away.

On what basis do a bunch of smelly diplomats and globalists at the UN and WEF claim to “own the science”? Does this really mean that they claim the power to “spin” and interpret - even falsify - the science in order to manipulate public opinion and achieve social and political objectives?

She has a BS in German studies from Oberlin College and a MS in broadcast journalism from BU. She is hardly a science expert..

“We’re becoming much more proactive. We own the science, and we think that the world should know it, and the platforms themselves also do,” she said.

Someone who thinks they “own the science”, doesn’t “own the science”; at best, they suppress the very core of science which includes having hypothesis challenged.

Remember when they wanted to close the patent office in the late 1800’s because they had the steam engine, so everything that could be invented had been invented...

That was funny.

The science was ‘settled’

Additional proof that google manipulates search results to promote leftist causes. We have known that for years.

It also seems DDG also gives the exact same search results Google does now.
