“It sounds like the police officers are losing when calling up the thought police. And they yes fail. ”
A new international group, Climate Action Against Disinformation (CAAD), advertises itself as a police officer with “misinformation and false information about climate change.”
We are a global alliance of over 50 well-known climate and anti-division organizations calling for decisive, unified action on a wide range of climate misinformation and disinformation.
Why? CAAD continues:
Misinformation and disinformation of climate change can cause distorted views of climate science and solutions; at the same time, they weaken effective domestic and international policies of public mandate, aligning with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
No subjective. The “general definition” of CAAD is pointed out:
Climate disinformation and misinformation refer to deceptive or misleading content:
destroys the existence or impact of climate change, the clear human impact on climate change and the need for emergency actions consistent with the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement;
Misreflecting scientific data, including omitting or picky, trust in climate science, climate-centric institutions, experts and solutions; or
Mistaked efforts as an effort to support climate goals actually contribute to climate warming or violate scientific consensus on mitigation or adaptation.
What are their suggestions?
Governments should encourage social media, advertising technology, and broadcasting and publishing companies to take these steps:
1 Acknowledge that climate disinformation is the main threat to damage information ecosystems and hinder climate action and policies, risk public safety and health, and further widen the social and political divide.
2 Agricultural products, publicity and resources are transparent corporate plans to stop the spread of climate disinformation.
3 Reports on the prevalence of climate disinformation of its products and services.
4 Allow researchers to access all the data needed to conduct the research and prevent the monetization of climate disinformation.
5. Implement efforts to vaccinate the entire platform to expose errors and false information.
6 Implement strong labor policies for content review personnel.
7. Production and enforcement related to the use of AI and other emerging technologies for companies to use transparency, security, equity and accountability.
government? Big brother? An institution about legal monopoly of force? Shame against climate action against false information.
Losing a debate
It sounds like the police officer is losing when summoning the Idea Police. And them yes lose. Wuwt is the most popular climate information website in the world. Judith Curry's climate and other aspects are the first choice for bottom-line science. LinkedIn and X are full of skepticism and debate with the all-around climate. Desmog's database of climate disinformation cannot keep up with all individuals and groups that criticize climate shockism and point to exaggerated and predicted failures.
Who won the U.S. election and replaced Podesta-Biden-Harris' “all-government” climate policy with anarchy? Don't even mention “climate change” and “decarbonization” in polite companies.
Course correction?
New opportunities to question climate alerts and debate climate policy. Climate censorship dies in reaching a new political world. CAAD should change its name and call it Exagger and climate cult. A new organization can reject the sunrise movement, climate contempt and other groups expected to raise citizen disobedience in 2025? That would reject calories.
Appendix: Review of Heartland Institute
On October 24, 2024, a group of the most left-wing organizations wrote a letter to Google’s “Trust and Security Team” to review the Heartland Institute. [1]
“We urgently ask Google to fully implement its existing policies and immediately permanently the Heartland Institute and all other stores that continue to spread climate disinformation on YouTube,” the letter reads. Continue:
As the above studies and reports prove, Google Ads directly promotes the spread of lies about the ever-changing climate change on our planet and has had horrible effects…. We urge radical action to end the monetization of Google monetization, which accounts spread from and profit from climate disinformation….
Sorry, but the days of bullying and censorship are over. It’s cool to question the calories of climate change activism intellectually and politically.
