The poor suffering Blob experts are losing the information war<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They can\u2019t seem to get a break, even with all the Governments, bankers, media, universities and the United Nations to help them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If only they had truth on their side, they could just explain it, but since they don\u2019t \u2014 the next best thing is publishing concocted studies demonizing the truth-tellers as conspiracy theorists, and blaming profiteering Big-tech. Free speech is so dangerous, they warn, that \u201cElon Musk-owned X lacked fact-checks or Community Notes on 99% of the posts\u201d<\/em>. Ninety nine percent! Clearly, The Blob wants warnings and labels on every single damn tweet. No moment in the public town square can be left unguarded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can\u2019t have adults thinking for themselves! And that\u2019s the thing isn\u2019t it, there is something profoundly condescending and undemocratic about those who believe adults can\u2019t be trusted to have conversations that no one corrects, live, one tweet at a time. The incredible unbridled smuggery of the Blobocrats is there for all to see, (as is the desperation) yet so rarely mocked, tarred and feathered as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s true, climate misinformation (put out by Professors) puts lives at risk<\/strong> \u2014 right now people are dying because they can\u2019t afford air conditioning or heating. Climate sorcerers at universities took public money and told them the \u201cscience was settled\u201d and they needed to redirect jet-streams with solar panels and windmills. It was a wanton electro-weather experiment that pushed the price of electricity up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Censorship is the real killer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Climate misinformation can always be fixed if the skeptics are not censored<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme weather misinformation \u2018putting lives at risk,\u2019 study warns<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By Anuj Chopra, Tech Explore<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major social media platforms are enabling and profiting from misinformation around extreme weather events, endangering lives and impeding emergency response efforts, a research group said Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH)\u2014which analyzed 100 viral posts on each of three leading platforms during recent natural disasters including deadly Texas floods\u2014highlights how their algorithms amplify conspiracy theorists while sidelining life-saving information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just name-calling:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe influence of high-profile conspiracy theorists<\/strong> during climate disasters is drowning out emergency response efforts,\u201d the report said, adding that the trend was \u201cputting lives at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crime of writing something un-fact-checked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nearly all of the analyzed posts on Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram lacked fact-checks or Community Notes, a crowd-sourced verification system increasingly being adopted as an alternative to professional fact-checkers, the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DeSmog are now \u201creporters on climate misinformation\u201d (and prophets too):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following natural disasters<\/a>, misinformation tends to surge across social media\u2014fueled by accounts from across the political spectrum<\/a>\u2014as many platforms scale back content moderation and reduce reliance on human fact-checkers, often accused by conservative advocates of a liberal bias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cClimate disinformation costs lives,\u201d said Sam Bright of DeSmog, which reports on climate misinformation campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs extreme weather events<\/a> become more and more frequent, these falsehoods will only get more dangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Converting power stations to global air conditioners costs a trillion or two, and the price is not just money, but blood, sweat and tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mortality increases in rooms that are too cold or too hot, and financial stress increases death rates. For example\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Graph
Cumulative hazards for mortality<\/a>\u00a0across each level of financial strain are shown. The light blue line indicates severe financial strain, or those who reported not having enough monthly income to make ends meet. The orange line indicates moderate financial strain, or those who reported having just enough to make ends meet. The dark blue line indicates those with no financial strain, or those who had more than enough money to make ends meet.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
