Anyone who knows a little history would think the Dims want us to go back to the good ol’ days from a couple of centuries ago during the Little Ice Age when people in modern day Germany would freeze to death in August.

Any involved in making and disseminating the statement “scientific consensus on climate change” should be required to spend a North Dakota Winter in a yurt with a dung fire for heating and cooking. There is no such thing as “scientific consensus” and anyone using the term is a moron. Galileo was up against a “scientific consensus” that the solar system revolved around the Earth.

“..He’s gonna hafta do a major housecleaning first....”

Yep...without a doubt.
He’s gotta do what Trump should have done when he became POTUS....clean house, top to bottom.
Hopefully, Elon will show em all “how it’s done”.
It may hurt for awhile, but they can be replaced. It may take awhile, but in the long run, it will pay off.
Welcome to the real world, twitter-twatters....LOL.

And if the snowflakes object or voice dissatisfaction... they can leave and visit OTHER social media venues. THAT’S the advantage of the very Capitalism these same people claim to hate!!

It’s like complaining about TV programming, when all anyone has to do is change the channel

“Consensus” is not science.

“Consensus” is mob rule.

Yes. But at a higher level, Twitter should not be setting itself up as the arbiter of truth, *period*, on any topic. Except for people advocating violence, obvious racism (e.g., Holocaust denial), it needs to be an open forum, or freedom-loving people need to shut it down. Completely. Forever.

Censorship, whether by a government or by a tech company which bills itself as a "platform," instead of a "publisher," is unacceptable.

Exactly. One person's disinformation is another person's truth, and vice versa. It's not anyone's job to declare what is true or not. This went into overdrive with the 2020 election fraud claims.

Why would Musk change that policy? He makes money selling electric cars that are needed to stop climate change.

Elon has openly stated many times that there will NOT be enough power to charge those cars in the near future.
