\u201cClimate disinformation is rampant on social media, but the volunteers of Sierra Club\u2019s Climate Truth Tellers team are fighting back by uplifting positive, fact-based posts.\u201d (- Sierra Club, below)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Call to Action! A leading environmental pressure group is urging<\/a> us to volunteer to debate climate and energy issues on all leading social media platforms. I am very active on LinkedIn and Facebook, so I have signed up on the Sierra Club\u2019s website<\/a>. You can also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As reported<\/a> at Yale Climate Connections,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Jennifer McCharen of the Sierra Club says reading this can make people feel confusion or despair. So she leads a team of more than 1,300 volunteers who are fighting back \u2013 not by arguing with online trolls but by uplifting truthful content\u2026. Each week, her team sends a few accurate social media posts to these volunteer \u2018Climate Truth-Tellers<\/a>\u2019 and asks them to flood the comments.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInstead of arguing with trolls,\u201d Sierra Club states, \u201cthey\u2019re amplifying the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trolls? Does this apply to those of us who argue in good faith because of a belief in superior arguments? Or is this an attempt to limit debate\u2014given the leaky, failing narrative of climate alarm and forced energy transformation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the numerous critics of climate alarm are winning on social media, hence the call for volunteers to push back. Some of us point out facts such as the head of the Los Angeles chapter of the Sierra Club once calling wind turbines the \u201cCuisinarts of the Air<\/a>.\u201d Is there anything wrong with this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filter Questions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first filter questions are, \u201cHow important is clean, renewable energy to you?<\/em>\u201d and \u201cHow important is protecting our public lands from destructive drilling, mining, and fracking?<\/em>\u201d I answered \u201cextremely important\u201d for both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting the truth out about \u201cclean, renewable energy\u201d is vital to end the Green Energy Scam. Industrial wind and solar is not clean or green\u2013just the opposite in terms of blight, sprawl, and inefficiency. \u201cProtecting our public lands\u201d requires privatization so that the owners can prioritize uses and steward the asset that now has a (private) capital value to maximize. Basic free-market environmentalism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next filter questions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are you interested in protecting our wild places, wildlife, and natural resources?<\/em> An easy choice is given and answered: \u201cI want future generations to have a better world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are the most important issues we face today?<\/em>\u201d I checked \u201cClean and Plentiful Water.\u201d I would have checked \u201cClimate Change\u201d except for the missing word Policy. And I could have (re)checked \u201cClean, Renewable Energy\u201d to correct the anti-environmental narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
