Climate change is not mis information, it is those claiming that they can reverse evolution & climate change with carbon taxes and other punitive taxes to finance all the fake & narrative "scientists" & universities, the $2Billion/yearly legacy media fear & propaganda machine, the antifa style & other extreme woke activists creating destruction, chaos, division & polarization in society.
Plus wasting $500 billion of taxpayers dollars to permanently add hundreds of thousands to the list of totally dependant on government for a living, all for votes at the taxpayers expense but to the detriment of freedom, independence, self reliant, personal responsibility & accountability.

Those so fearful for the coming climate catastrophe that according to the most brainwashed, is already here, must immediately change their lifestyle to pre oil times and maybe pre coal times, for the real hardcore CO2 victims.

Because there is no evidence that any of these climate change crusaders are preparing for life before the fossil resource, it is just talking points and the biggest heap of :cuss: & hypocrisy driven by a few very rich & powerful privilege elite & equally power hungry opportunist activists pretending to be political leaders, to establish a fourth level of total regime controlled governance for the still free democratic western world.

Just look at the federal, provincial, municipal & even school boards & unions dedicated to the woke & broke, climate ken & barbie, the gender confused, the cancel culture, book burning & history rewriters cult, all pushing this and the identity politics, equality of outcome, diversity & inclusion ideology.
Sadly these dumb, deaf & blind peons are clueless what is in store for them, once the regime has the power to totally control the masses, yes you to.

I believe the standard comeback here is, "I don't know what you mean? What's a climate change denier?" [icon_lol2.gif]

But I've posted this before as truly one of my favorite Professor Jordan Peterson rants.



Thanks for the opportunity for me to preview it again. :up:

But seriously now, this paragraph and other material from the article harken back to my op on this subject.

viewtopic.php?p=3218746#p3218746
Though Peterson is among the most visible promoters of climate crisis denial, he’s also part of a wider digital network. Researchers with Climate Action Against Disinformation and the Center for Countering Digital Hate earlier this year found 200 videos on YouTube promoting delay or skepticism around measures to address the climate emergency, garnering nearly 74 million views altogether.
Also, I've made advances outside of this realm about making changes to social media policy.

Start with the conclusion, then find, manufacture,or manipulate data to support the conclusion and discard any data that may lead to other conclusions."

This applies in many fields of research to generate funding. It's amazing what some fools will still call conspiracy theories.
"Narrative science", just trace were the funding came from.

Same as in "journalism" here in Canada where trudeau spends our tax dollars, all of the about $2Billion a year for LPC propaganda, he even paid the cbc Journalistic content hero's, but really lpc fear & propaganda activists & influencers on average a $12,000.00 wuhan bonus in 2021 for all their hard work from home. cbc & the rest of the LPC bought legacy media knows who signs that check and they deliver. PP has already put them on notice.

Thousands of scientists recently published an article denouncing global warming as fake. Do a search on the Internet and ask yourself why so many are calling it a hoax.
If that's disinformation, then somebody is buying the narrative.
You will also find that they are finally catching and charging pyromaniacs in Provinces like Alberta and BC.
Summer is and has always been the fire season. Some years are mild, others are bad.
It's the lack of proper forest management that usually fuels large fires.
Add to that the changes to the way Forestry chases after fires compared to many years ago, and you'll find out that the old way of attacking burns with properly equipped and trained initial attack crews worked much better than it does now. Once again, re-inventing the wheel in many instances is a waste of time.

Lol "climate crisis deniers" - yet another STOOPID Orwellian phrase from the alarmist lunatics. The disinformation from the science-deniers pushing this stupid fraud never ends.

More disinformation leading to "climate anxiety", literally the dumbest "mental illness" someone can have. Right up there with "Easter Bunny anxiety" and "Sasquatch anxiety".

More "Klimate Krazies" wanting to force their disgusting and evil agenda on the rest of Canada....just so awful. Just so much disinformation.
Canada must do more in ‘make-or-break’ global climate moment, groups urge

Canada is facing a "make-or-break" moment to regulate its oil and gas industry, several global environmental groups say.

More than 250 environmental organizations urged Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to prioritize the matter as MPs returned to Ottawa on Monday.

“Right now, Canada has a make-or-break moment to cap the rising oil and gas emissions that fuel devastating climate impacts like wildfires. The international community is watching closely: Canada must lead with a strong, ambitious cap that will rein in its biggest polluters,” states an open letter sent to Trudeau on Monday.

“Canada cannot claim to be a climate leader unless it tackles its emissions problem.”

Environmental groups are urging the minority Liberal government to fulfil a promise made last November, when Minister of Environment and Climate Change Steven Guilbeault said Canada would have a cap on oil and gas emissions by the end of 2023.

Climate Action Network Canada says the timeline has been pushed back, in large part due to Alberta Premier Daniel Smith and the lobbying efforts of the oil and gas industry.

The organizations, consisting of environmental, labour, health and faith groups, said Trudeau must take action as the leader of a major economy.

“As a major oil and gas exporter, Canada must use every tool in its toolkit to align itself with the global energy transition and immediately end the expansion of fossil fuel production and infrastructure,” the groups said.

Tessa Khan, executive director of Uplift UK, said Trudeau must “stand up” to the oil and gas industry.

Come on Canadians pull up your socks!

Surely we can do better than this here on social media!

Fourth might get us an honourable mention but it doesn't put us on the podium.

How rampant are climate denialists in Canada?

Amid 'rampant' misinformation on human-caused climate change, a new global study examined the beliefs of six audiences — from the alarmed to the doubtful and dismissive.

https://www.nsnews.com/weatherhood-bc/h ... da-7353481


Among the world’s 15 largest emitters of carbon pollution, Canadians are the fourth most likely to doubt or dismiss the existence of human-caused climate change, a new survey has found.

The international survey, carried out by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication and the social media company Meta, examined Facebook users’ knowledge, attitudes, policy preferences, and behaviour surrounding climate change in nearly 200 countries and territories worldwide.

Inoculating against deceptive tactics

Some have pushed back against the deceptive tactics, using creative tools to engage and inoculate populations against false information. One such tool is the Cranky Uncle game, an interactive app and web interface that trains people to think critically and recognize old rhetorical tools used to deny science and spread false information.

Backed by extensive research, Cranky Uncle attempts puts you in the shoes of a climate denialist, engaging players with humour to recognize arguments that use fake experts, logical fallacies, impossible expectations, cherry picking, and conspiracy theories.


Its creator, Australian research John Cook of Monash University, says the game targets two audiences. The first are those who are the undecided or disengaged from climate change. By providing accurate scientific information, the game inoculates them against future deceitful messaging. The second audience includes people who are alarmed by climate change, but self-censor when talking with others.

“A primary contributing factor to this self-censoring is fear of pushback and being made to look foolish,” Cook and his colleagues wrote in the journal Environmental Education Research in 2021. “For this group, inoculation provides confidence to discuss the climate change issue despite potential dismissive counter-arguments.

“In this situation, inoculation is not about preaching to the choir — rather, it is about teaching the choir to sing.”

The game, which has now been translated into nine languages, has showed enough promise that UNICEF and others have adapted it to fight back against vaccine misinformation.
And for God's sake don't let your kids play the Cranky Uncle Game,

Here the link so you can recognize it over their shoulders.
