The UK government is one of the main financial backers of a new international campaign to stamp out online climate science skepticism ahead of next year's “do-or-die” COP30 meeting in Brazil. [emphasis, links added]
Administered by the United Nations and UNESCO, The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change was recently signed at the G20 Summit in Brazil.
Part of his responsibilities will be Fund nonprofits to root out so-called misinformation and promote “public awareness campaigns.”
Commenting on the event, UN global correspondent Melissa Fleming noted that more and more people are becoming aware of the harm caused by climate disinformation and “the entire toxic information ecosystem.”
she suggested A global movement for “information integrity is gaining momentum.”
In reality, this move is a desperate move to further undermine the scientific process and curb free speech and commentary.
After decades of failed apocalyptic climate predictions, cherry-picked and fabricated false statistics, farcical weather “attribution” claims, and an increasingly politicized “ban” on skeptical discussion of actual science, “Momentum” is shifting toward the need for real debate.
This frightens global elites who face a loss of credibility – as popular voting in recent elections has proven – who [therefore] Launching more repression and seeking to silence their criticism in increasingly desperate ways.
This was always a possibility as deindustrialization and the need for radically life-changing (and life-threatening) economic and social changes began to become apparent under the net-zero fantasy.
Removing hydrocarbons from the modern industrial economy is impossible. But taking a different perspective offers countless opportunities for command-and-control freaks on the left wing of the political spectrum.
Over the past 40 years, in order to inspire their dreams, the traditional processes of scientific debate and inquiry have been cast asidereplaced by a pseudoscientific “consensus” modeled on climate and a global movement to induce mass psychosis due to an invented climate emergency.

Fleming and her UN employers have always been aware of the need to control the global narrative.
At a recent World Economic Forum seminar on disinformation, she noted The United Nations has partnered with Google to ensure that only UN-approved climate search results appear at the top.
“We are becoming more proactive, we have the science, and the world should know this,” she explained in chilling tones.
Details about the initiative are sparse, but it's worth noting It will strengthen the existing climate change movement “to mitigate and combat climate disinformation, particularly in the lead-up to COP30”.
After the utter disaster that was COP29, with virtually no agreement on anything, there are fears that next year's conference in Rio de Janeiro will make or break this crumbling international mess.
The possible disdain of the entire climate circus by the Trump administration in the United States will not help the situation in the next four years.
Perhaps, by the time the climate card is handed over, America will be gone. Unlike the UK (of course), Chile, Denmark, France, Morocco and Sweden, the US is conspicuous by its absence from funding this latest UN-sponsored attack on free speech.
Needless to say, When science needs to be destroyed and free speech needs to be abolished, the deepest-pocketed suspects will always take action. Fleming pointed out “A broad network of civil society partners” is joining the initiative's work.
