Climate deniers will shout out that freedom of speech gives them freedom to lie and post disinformation.
That says it all on who they are and what the climate-denial movement is about.
Stiell: "the climate crisis is now a continent-wide economic security emergency ... This summer’s climate-driven extreme heat has killed tens of thousands of people, and hammered Europe's infrastructure, businesses, and economies."
Climate DENIAL is a lost cause, says Bart
Climate DENIAL is a lost cause, says Albert
Climate DENIAL is a lost cause, says ...
"Research" to the climate-denial crowd means scouring Google for that Eureka moment to find that special evidence - that every climate scientist missed - that disproves the science of climate change.
It exists ... but only in their little feeble minds.
"The UN has warned that the El Niño climate phenomenon is ‘supersizing before our eyes’. The event is forecast to be the largest in at least 1,000 years and will almost certainly shatter temperature records."
Climate denial is a co-conspirator with the energy-industrial complex to spread disinformation on the science of climate change.
Climate denial has been doing this for >2 decades.
It is time to take them down ... by discrediting them, their posts & sources.
#ClimateBrawl
Standing up to face evil is a duty.
Silence is an enabler of evil.
Climate denial is an evil movement ...
A movement that must be discredited ...
Discredit them, their posts, and their sources.
Climate denial must be marginalized to build a better future.
We and our families are threated by increased extreme weather caused by climate change, mainly by the burning of fossi fuels.
What should we call those promoting disinformation to discredit peer-reviewed science and support the continued burning of fossil fuels?
"Although it's scientific consensus that the climate crisis is happening, climate change denialists have found support in the highest office during the second Trump administration and significantly influenced current climate and environment policies."
Here is the climate-denial bio of Richard Tice from DeSmog
https://www.desmog.com/richard-tice/
Includes quotes from his interview of me in 2022.
Our kids should not be victims of disinformation, climate denial, and the energy-industrial complex.
We must stop that from happening.

"They" use Weapons of Mass Disinformation:
- cherry-picked information
- conspiracy theories
- lies
- quote mining
- hatred
- insults
- data forgeries
- fake graphs
- hate speech
- non-credible sources
- hostile replies
Who are "They?"
Young Americans are suing the president for violating rights with executive orders that fuel the climate crisis.
This is everyone's crusade, and we all need to help.

The transition has begun ... a new energy age awaits.
"In a world of climate denial and misinformation, Santa Marta was a shining example of science-led decision making."
The world is a hostage of the energy-industrial complex.
We have answers. Why are we scared to use them.
There are no energy crises with renewables.

U.S. has become a rogue state ... when it comes to the planet.
The UN has voted 141-8 to adopt a resolution backing a world court opinion that countries have a legal obligation to address climate change.
Climate scientists being sacked. Nope, not in America this time but in Australia.
The silence on climate change is deafening these days.
I have never seen social media, and news media so quiet for so long.
These are not bad signs for our planet and future generations.
Climate change has become a political battle, not a scientific one.
An obstacle for moving forward is climate denial.

Who is looking after Americans on extreme weather events - is it AI based on past weather events?
But climate change is changing the trends of the past.

The climate fight must involve social media creators
Trust and influence may have already shifted to social media, where fossil fuel interests are backing creators.
Climate organisations must catch up

Adam McKay - "Don't Look Up" - is back with "Headline Newds"
"Progress dealing with the climate crisis isn't a scientific question; it's a political question."
A tragedy unfolded in Washington even before Trump 2.0.
Read an analysis of that period at https://www.routledge.com/Climate-Denial-in-American-Politics-ClimateBrawl/Kutney/p/book/9781032592794
"Climate deniers and former Trump administration Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rubbed shoulders with conservative Canadian politicians, including opposition leader Pierre Poilievre ..."
NOTICE TO CONSERVATIVES:
- climate deniers are mainly conservatives
- conservatives were coerced to be deniers by disinformation
- that disinformation originated with the oil industry and related vested interests
- the industry you support cheated you.
People are dying from climate change mainly caused from the burning of fossil fuels.
Climate denial fights for the continued burning of fossil fuels, justifying their cause using disinformation.
That says it all folks.
