Sadly some effects of the new climate war (as noted by Prof Michael Mann) are with us. There is an unusual CULT engaging in disinformation/propaganda ! This is Allatra, with its project "Creative Society". They host crazy events via "Global Crisis". #CreativeSocietyExposed

A take on German coal. #ClimateBrawl And of course Greta.

Come on Germany, this is not how a self-described "climate leader" should behave. There is no excuse for rich countries to be digging more coal mines... ๐Ÿ™„ politico.eu/article/greta-

As silly bossy troll has blocked me I refer to another reply intended for his reference to an old John Coleman interview.

NB The MWP stuff Randy mentioned is misleading at best and misrepresents real sceince.

A Google Map from a fossil fuel industry employee is not valid source. The pins are nice looking and every paper uses another timeframe. But science for the rescue. Scientists checked it out: nature.com/articles/s4158
FYI - I ignored the uncompetitive warning and continued. A pity the warning doesn't categorise the alleged risk properly, hence my diagnosis that the warning is bad in this circumstance. How long will this platform survive with this behaviour ?

The Elon Paradox: Twitterโ€™s one use was watching powerful people being revealed as idiots going insane when it was pointed out. And Twitter is being destroyed by a powerful person who revealed themself as an idiot going insane when it was pointed out

Maybe of interest that twitter is a medium involved in climate change discussion/denial. Tweet below refers to a paper "Growing polarization around climate change on social media" The results section throws up some well known climate denier accounts !

Interesting new report @turinginst + Engagement w/ climate sceptic tweets grew 4 times faster than with pro-climate action tweets between 2014 and 2021 + Pre-2019, ~ 1% of all of the climate discussion around COP was climate scepticism. Now it's ~ 16% nature.com/articles/s4155

The BBC has investigated an apparent strange failing by bbc.com/news/technolog If Elon is so in favour of free speech, then why ban a video of a perseid meteor ? Why has Mary's appeal failed ? There are loads of vile tweets and accounts, but you suspend this ?

I hope Elon avoids destroying twitter. Best done by not having too many yes men around him. If no-one speaks truth to power investors may well do so, especially if his attention pulls away from Tesla enough to worry shareholders there. They don't want to end up running Twitter !
