The Scientific Revolution grew out of the Renaissance.

Before then the world suffered in a dark age.

Science has since been at the forefront of progress, prosperity, and the evolution of civilization.

Science denial is seeking to return us to the dark age.

"I'm working on a new book now, and it hits at the roots of climate denial ... disinformation is the deliberate sharing of information that the sender knows is not right" (5:20-5:34).

Fundamentally, climate denial is against the search for knowledge and a better future.

#ClimateBrawl

Climate deniers will shout out that freedom of speech gives them freedom to lie and post disinformation.

That says it all on who they are and what the climate-denial movement is about.

#ClimateBrawl

The world agreed to stop climate change in 1992.

It failed to do so for one reason - climate denial.

Now people are dying from extreme weather events.

We know who is responsible!

#ClimateBrawl

"Climate change is the reason to freak out, and ideally, in a constructive way, by doing something about it. And we do know what to do about it. We have the knowledge and technology to go very, very far away from using fossil fuels."

The truth is out there ... but not from:

climate deniers ... fossil fools ... oil apologists ... the GOP ... Donald Trump ... the algorithms approved by Musk and controlling X ... Fox News (and other right-wing propaganda outlets) ... deniosaurs ...

ClimateBrawl

X, with its infestation of disinformation, lies, propaganda & climate denial, gives the impression that a cult of ignorance, as warned by Isaac Asimov long ago, has taken over America.

What do others think?

Climate denial is a crime against science, the truth, and knowledge .. and a crime against humanity, society, our families, and future generations. What a deplorable group ... one of deviant behaviour ... people are dying, and more in the future!

"A fear of mine, though, is that if language, no matter how well designed, gained political traction, a tsunami of propaganda from the fossil fuel industry and the climate denial movement would drown it out."

In an unprovoked and cowardly attack, the USA has invaded Canada, its closest ally until Trump came along, with its full economic forces. No military action, but the intensions of the deranged, out-of-control American president are exactly the same.

Elbows up, NEVER 51st state.

Climate deniers do not justify their denial on science, they use stupidity, babbling, drivel, insanity, lies ... and their minions just lap it up ... welcome to the age of the moronocene.

@Junes The trolls/bots of climate denial have crawled out from under their rocks on Mastodon.

If the President orders gov. agencies to be science deniers, he has the power to do so ... but science is still the science, such as the science of climate change.

"The science of climate change has done just fine against climate denialism ... The problem has been that a glaring gap has opened between scientific knowledge and public audience perception of that knowledge (and the scientific consensus)."

Scientists have stood before the world for decades warning then pleading for society to take action on climate change.

What have the scientists received in return?

Mocking, anger, insults, abuse ... incl. a US prez trying to destroy their careers & livelihood.

#ClimateBrawl

Putin is attempting to annex (parts of) the Ukraine.

Trump is attempting to annex Canada, Greenland and more.

Imagine if FDR had ordered Churchill to surrender to Hitler to end WWII.

Prez @elonmusk and VP @realDonaldTrump are tearing apart the vestiges of American democracy and seek to destroy the democracies of former allies while supporting the tyranny of former enemies. A deep state of denial led by the energy-industrial complex is aiding this tragedy.

What is the education of a climate denier on the science of climate change?

Google! That is it!

They have no clue Google cannot replace a real education and certainly not a Ph.D. in science.
