BERLIN (AP) — Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google.
“Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,” the company said in a statement outlining its new policy Friday.
The announcement coinciding with Earth Day came hours before the European Union agreed upon a deal requiring big tech companies to vet their sites more closely for hate speech, disinformation and other harmful content.
Twitter said it would provide more information in the coming months on how it plans to provide “reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations” its users engage in, including from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The U.N.-backed science panel’s reports on the causes and effects of climate change provide the basis for international negotiations to curb climate change.
The company already has a dedicated climate topic on its site and offered what it described as “pre-bunks” during last year’s U.N. climate conference to counter misinformation surrounding climate change.

That the sheep don’t fathom how dangerous it is- terrifying. So many if them!!! They never seek any truth because even a sliver of truth would bring their whole house of cards/belief system crashing down about everything . I despise willful ignorance
20,000 or so years ago North America was covered in ice.
Today it is not.
Earth’s climate does change (slowly) but man has nothing to do with it and other then adapting there in nothing man can do to prevent the climate from changing.

There is no such thing as “Consensus” in the study of Science, end of story.
Twatter is a Sewer of Stupidity.
The fascists tighten their grip. Eventually everyone on Twitter will avoid any topic other than social twaddle, but will just go elsewhere to talk about anything substantive. Ultimately the fascists will have to endeavor to ban all speech they can’t regulate, which may prove to be impossible.
Too bad that they’re anti Android - only available for iPhone. Guess they don’t want me. Oh well.....
If it cannot be challenged it is not science.
Exactly.
The “Global warming” issue isn’t “science”, it is POLITICAL science for the advancement of socialism. The left has abandoned the concept of what defines the scientific method, like the process of conjecture to hypothesis to theory in open discussion sharing all data. The discussion is never over.
These leftists wouldn’t know science if Albert Einstein himself came up and bit them in the a$$.. .
“Twitter bans ads that contradict science on climate change”
Excellent! No more global warming BS allowed!
“Twitter bans ads that contradict science on climate change”

“..Climate Change (was global warming was global cooling) is not a proven science..”
It is a career.
Every new ban just helps Gab and Truth Social.
The earth is flat and that is final.
