These top 10 climate deniers spread nearly 70 percent of misinformation on Facebook

A handful of “super polluter” publishers are mostly to blame for widespread misinformation about the climate crisis on Facebook, according to new research.

Ten publishers, among them the far-right news site Breitbart, once headed by ex-Trump advisor Steve Bannon, are responsible for nearly 70 percent of climate change denial on Facebook, according to a study from the Center for Countering Digital Hate. The “toxic ten” include several conservative U.S. outlets and Russian state media, according to the report.

Because they tell the truth not some made up fiction

Climate just is. Always has been. Always will be

“I do NOT believe it’s created by humans.

It’s created by God.”

Um...some of it could be (or is) actually created by humans. It’s not like the US hasn’t been engaged in geoengineering for decades. They call it “environmental modification techniques”. Which is why the US was pressured to sign an international treaty (Environmental Modification Convention, 1978) after Vietnam to prevent further weaponization of their geoengineering.

And all those chemicals they’ve been spraying into the atmosphere... knowing the government goons lately... probably are not intended for our ‘good health’. Quite the opposite, I’m betting.

There’s good reason not to trust government. Real good reason. And just think. It’s a win-win for the radical left. They screw up the environment with their “mad scientist” geoengineering... and then proceed to blame fossil fuels or whatever else they want to control and/or eliminate the use of (gas stoves???) by calling it “global warming/climate change”. Brilliant. Too bad most Americans are clueless about it all.

And for a real good hint at how nefarious their weather modification techniques are.... Bill Gates is all-in and on-board with a program they call “The Dimming”.

The only way to avoid these point two degree temperature increases is to buy very expensive electric cars, crash the electrical grid, eat bugs and live in concrete towers where we grow the few vegetables we are allowed to consume on a balcony, and for entertainment, we watch giant wind turbines knock birds out of the sky.

Is this about the gist of the solution to the non-problem?

Whenever a consensus is involved, it’s a psychological operation.

As well as a pretext for censorship. They didn't call it 'consensus' when archaeology began squealing like a stuck pig when someone had a different opinion or new evidence was unearthed; we collectively ignored all the warning signs.

It took government involvement to return to medieval times, acting like the Church and treating detractors - e.g., flat Earth - like heretics.

Now they wield it like a weapon. 'Climate change deniers', 'anti-vaxxers'...now 'maga republicans' & 'extremists' just for harboring a different political viewpoint...

...i.e., Conservatism.

I'm done playing. They need to feel real pain.

The core, the very essence of the scientific method is QUESTIONING!!!
A scientist is always looking for a way to challenge every assertion, and expects always to be challenged by others interested in seeking the TRUTH. Questioning, challenging, and second-guessing do not impede Science, they ARE Science. And anyone who resists that questioning is no Scientist, but a fool.

It has been argued that the Pope wanted Galileo to PROVE his belief, which he couldn’t at the time, so it was the Pope who was being more scientific. The long and comprehensive Wikipedia article “Galileo affair”, shows that the issue is not clear cut. Also, if Galileo believed that the sun was the center of the world, then he was wrong - we now know that it’s not even at the center of our galaxy.

Only in L^5 (Loony Liberal La-La Land) is publishing factual information called ‘misinformation’.

“misinformation about the climate crisis”
Stopped reading right there.

Amen to that. Since there is no climate crisis, the disinformation is coming from the author of the article.

I will read your source, as I am not aware of such a documented challenge by the Pope and it would be out of character for the Church, which was not on the habit of inviting open debate on dogma, and in fact the Church had previously promoted Ptolemy’s preposterous “epicycle” excuse for Mars’ retrograde action in desperate support of a geocentric theory they must have suspected was false, but necessary to uphold dogma. Galileo had observed Jupiter and published illustrations of the motions of its moons and remarked on how this support Copernicus’s theory. This is what got him in hot water.

This has worked for 10,000 years with no increase in taxes. Too hot? move north or to the coast. Too cld? Move south. Too much water? Move uphill. In this century the climate could change once or twice. The sun, the angle of the earth’s axis toward the sun, volcanic action including under the sea determines climate. Not the level of taxation.
