USA Today bellyaches about the lack of censorship and the proliferation of truth

The first sentence in the article says it all:

“Social media is still not doing enough to stop misinformation denying the existence and causes of climate change.”

For one thing, I have never seen anyone say that the climate is not changing, but calling us “climate change deniers” is an intentional lie to disparage us; we have always told the truth that the climate is and has always changed cyclically and naturally.

Here’s a little more context:

Science vs. social media: Why climate change denial still thrives online

Social media is still not doing enough to stop misinformation denying the existence and causes of climate change.

That’s the finding of a review of climate-related conversations on social media platforms by the public interest research organization Advance Democracy.

Despite company pledges to crack down, falsehoods, hoaxes and conspiracy theories circulated with few warning labels or links to credible information in 2023, contributing to a dramatic surge in the number of posts denying climate change last year, according to the report shared exclusively with USA TODAY.

Basically, anyone who disagrees with what the media and other green pushers have told the public over decades needs to be silenced, because only the official narrative is permitted—for integrity’s sake of course.

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

In the early days of our country, the press wanted power, but it was in regards to protecting the people and keeping government in check.

Today, the press wants power to protect government and to keep the people in check.

A great example of modern worship of false gods.

Much like the big bang and evolution, climate change is an unproven theory.

Anyone who says otherwise does not understand how science works.
