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.

In the Renaissance people were finally free to challenge “scientific consensus”. Topics could be debated. And so science advanced.
Oh, well. Back to the Dark Ages we go.
We no longer live in a world where truth can be found by average person. Information is freedom, truth is freedom; we are no longer living in a free country
“. . . important conversations about the climate crisis . . ..”
Uhmmm, how do you have a “CONVERSATION” if only one view is expressed? That’s a monologue.
The Lobotomy Procedure was proven science.
How did that work out?
I would much rather take my chances with climate change than being a serf to these self-appointed elitists.
It is supporting those communists who want to control the means of production. The measured temperature data does not show variance from what the temperature should be because the temperature is always changing. Normal is ice age you idiots!
When people are banned from having a voice then “consensus” has no meaning.
Censorship, defunding, de-platforming, and demonetization are very likely to encourage fraud.
How about testable theories rather than “consensus”?
Wasn’t New York supposed to be under water by now?
What accurate predictions have been made, based on man-made climate change theory, that have been remotely accurate?
What is the precision of measurement?
Can anyone test it, or just selected “scientists”?
For example, if the average temperature of the planet is supposedly rising, it should be easily testable by taking measurements in caves in various locations. Caves maintain an average temperature of the surrounding environment (with some exceptions). These are fairly precise measurements that provide data that is less subject to manipulation.
Otherwise, the numbers can be made to mean whatever the approved scientists want them to mean/confirm.
As Dr Fauci said I am the science.
Echo chambers where everyone has the same opinion are not conversations.
The headline should put the word science in quotes like, “science”.
If there is climate change, it is being caused by our sun and the instability of our magetic field which is nothing we can to stop the climate change. The money in these globalist tax schemes would be better served in helping people prepare for what is actually coming.
Worse, it's a lecture -- IT'S INDOCTRINATION.
Repeating the same stuff over and over and over to the Believers.
IT'S SICK. IT'S EVIL.
Oh good! That means they will stop letting people spread that lying global warming garbage. At last Twitter is doing a good thing with their censorship.
Awwww. Too bad since nearly EVERYTHING out there about alleged climate change is total BS. Especially the cabal of ‘scientists’ that are pushing this crap. Again, just WHO is the head decider on what is and isn’t mis/dis/mal-information anyway? Same fact checkers from fakebook? Hey scientist/climageddonists. Answer the following and get back to us. We’ll wait:
1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.
2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.
3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.
4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.
5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.
6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.
7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.
Here’s a short video (language NSFW) in which Dan Peña points out how you can tell Global Warming/Climate Change is fake.
Essentially, if it was real you wouldn’t be able to get a bank loan to build anything near an ocean that’s going to rise 10 feet. The banks wouldn’t lend the money— they do, because they know it’s all a lie.
Short video, worth watching and sharing

George Orwell books need to be moved from the fiction section to the current events section.
Like they’re some sort of authority on it?
“contradict the scientific ‘consensus’ on climate change.”
the history of science is nothing more nor less than the repeated destruction of the “scientific consensus” ...
but we wouldn’t expect any of the ignorant morons that run twitter to know anything about either history OR science ...
perhaps they should read “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” by Thomas Kuhn ...
Climate hoax day 🤪
