"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."
'We own the science': UN rep announces Google partnership during World Economic Forum 'disinformation' panel Image
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."
If they are taking our 1st Amendment Rights away from us then they’ve just made themselves Enemis of the Constitution. Google Execs involved need to be locked up and put in prison for trying to use a government outside America to govern our 1st Amendment Rights.
An excellent way to state it! Their “science” is bought and paid for.
What more excuse do you need to NOT USE GOOGLE !!
Search engine whores! Thats perfect.
There is a ton of them out there. They all have information of one sort or another. None of them ‘want’ to screw you but they have to because they are whores.
“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.”
Yep. Just did that search, and sure enough all the links at the top were either U.S. related or friendly to the U.N. position.
Nobody “owns” science.
Google results for me on “climate change”
1. NASA
2. UN
3. IPCC (part of UN)
4. USA Today
5. Boston Globe
6. Washington Post
7. The Guardian
8. NPR
9. EPA
10. The Royal Society
11. WHO
12. World Bank
Nope, no bias there. None at all.
by “the science” she means “the truth.” There is NO truth in science, only falsifiable theory, test and verify, then test some more. If the theory is not unprovable it is considered not a theory but a belief and is not science.
The only “influencer” is test and verify. There is no testing in environmental science, only belief. Influencers present beliefs, not theories.
If they own the science it is not science but dogma. They do in fact own the dogma.
BTTT
The WEF, bright to you by Charles Lyell because, well,he is just smarter than you… as are we Kulak.
Is there even “settled” science for most things? Yes, there are absolute truths but so many things - it seems to me - are more in the category of “what most of us agree we think so far”.
We have to execute these people after a fair trial.
Even Michaelsen (of Michaelsen-Morley classical physics fame) in a speech in 1888 said that all major findings in physics had been identified and it was now just a matter of fine-tuning physical science …. A clear demonstration that even brilliant minds can be breathtakingly naive, if not ego-centric.
prison anyone?
Thank you Jim.
