A UN climate expert called on people to question the goal of avoiding climate disasters by rapidly eliminating criminal penalties for fossil fuels. [emphasis, links added]
Experts who will be subject to these penalties say the call for censorship is part of a broader, growing effort to stop people from opposing the political agenda of climate activists.
“It seems very hopeless. I find that we can't debate what we're talking about solving science. If this is so convincing, then you certainly don't need to be jailed for their consent,” said Matt Wielicki, a geologist and author.Irrational fearAlternative, tell Just news.
Elisa Morgera, the UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights and Climate Change, wrote a report “The Necessity to Make Our Economy Destroy Our Economy,” which was released in June.
The report calls for a ban on all oil production and infrastructure development by 2030.
According to Morgera, fossil fuels provide 86% of the energy consumed in 2024 and are the basis for thousands of products people consume every day, creating “huge and universal risks and harm to the right to life.”
Crime opinions by thinking of “misinformation”
Morgera believes that countries are not only obliged to eliminate the use and production of fossil fuels, but also need to “Information systems are violated to protect human rights to form public opinion and democratic debates against undue business influence and information distortion.”
To ensure that people have the right information and constitute the right view on energy and climate, Moulgra believes Oil companies need to ban advertising or lobbying in their industriesand “Misinformation” in the fossil fuel industry will need to be criminalized.
In addition, Morgera requires that any media company running such ads or any media that is considered “misinformation” will also face criminal penalties. Finally, the state needs to criminalize “attacks against environmental human rights defenders.”
What constitutes a misinformation or “attack” against environmentalists has never been defined in the report, but based on her listed suggestions and remarks on fossil fuels, it seems that anyone who questioned or criticized the efficacy or reasoning of the rapid elimination of fossil fuels would be considered to be spreading “wrong tips.”
Climate activists have been losing their stance due to public opinion for some time. In November, U.S. voters elected a president who promoted fossil fuel development and called climate change a “scam.”
Polls show voters rated climate change as the lowest point in their priorities, and Kamala Harris's promised “new green agreement” policy is not enough to avoid damage.
Investment companies exited the net zero league after Trump won the election, and many are shrinking their net zero commitments.
The Trump administration has also taken many actions to revoke the Biden Harris administration’s climate agenda, including ending EV mandates and reviewing climate regulations.
Climate protests that once attracted a large number of people. Despite the second Trump administration’s actions against net zero emissions plans, U.S. protests are still focusing on other issues.
Just stop the oil – the group is notorious for throwing soup on painting, blocking roads, destroying events and sticking itself to various antiques.
Who decides to “solve” what is science?
But climate activists are stepping up efforts to force people to stop questioning their agenda.
In April, Turtle Mediaconsidered a left-wing news website, launched a campaign called “Hot Steam” that diverted public support for climate policy to the spread of so-called “misinformation.”
Like other censorship campaigns, “Hot Air” never defines exactly what “misinformation” is. The campaign uses AI to identify online content to question its political agenda in an effort to put pressure on social media companies.
Wielicki is a geologist, energy expert Robert Bryce, Daniel Turner, who founded Power the Future's energy expert, entrepreneur and former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
Bryce noted in an article on the project that the project is funded by Octopus Energy and among the company's financial backers, it is a company co-hosted by Al Gore.
The list of climate criminals identified by “Hot Air” includes people with significant followers who have questioned whether climate change is a crisis for crisis activists or whether we should quickly eliminate fossil fuels to deal with its risks, whatever it may actually be. Williki calls it “complete garbage.”
“They determined that half of the misinformation was that I published peer-reviewed articles that basically questioned the IPCC narrative [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] Like to ignore. Now, what we call peer reviewed article error message,” He said.
The International Information Environment Group (IPIE) also released a study in June that allegedly “strong actors” are spreading “inaccurate or misleading narratives about anthropogenic climate change.”
Like “hot air” and the UN report, exactly what constitutes “inaccurate or misleading narrative” in IPIE research is never defined.
