\u201cVerified is an initiative of the United Nations<\/a>, to provide content that cuts through the noise to deliver life-saving information, fact-based advice and stories from the best of humanity. Led by the UN Department for Global Communications<\/a>, the initiative invites the public to help counter the spread of false narratives across key global issues by sharing UN-verified, science-based content with their communities through articles, videos, and associated media. The initiative is a collaboration with Purpose<\/a>, one of the world\u2019s leading social impact organizations, and has been supported by a number of collaborators including Rockefeller Foundation<\/a>, IKEA Foundation<\/a>, Luminate<\/a>, TikTok<\/a>, and Fortescue<\/a>.\u201d 

If the idea of having climate change facts and stories \u201cverified\u201d by TikTok<\/em> absolutely terrifies you, then you are in your right mind.  But it gets worse:  TikTok<\/em> is helped in this by 5 certified left-leaning well-funded advocacy organizations specifically dedicated to making fighting \u201cclimate change\u201d a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s an example<\/a> of the fine work they are collectively doing: <\/p>\n\n\n

with the correct answer which has been verified by the United Nations and TikTok to be correct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you who just want to do the quick pop quiz, here it is \u2013 with the \u2018verified\u2019 answers upside down at the bottom:<\/p>\n\n\n

If I were speaking, I\u2019d be speechless!  Unabashed propaganda, aimed at your kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d love to see your comments on the questions and the provided answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, if you actually take the quiz online<\/a>, each answer screen has a little justification at the bottom.  For question 1 it looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n
