holy shit. Moderators ask for a show of hands of how many candidates believe in human-caused climate change. Not a single candidate raises their hand.

There is a noticeable uptick in climate denier bot/troll activity last few days. It is intended is add noise to the discussion and to distract from #COP26 . Don't engage. Report and block.

Yes I'm a scientist. I also care about things like fairness, equality and sustainability, and I'm deeply concerned about the wave of ignorance, fascism, racism, misogyny and intolerance on the right and how it threatens all of those things. If that bothers you, don't follow me.

The performative outrage is actually a twofer for the @GOP , both (1) furthering their attack on academia (which they've long perceived as a threat) and (2) serving as a shield to deflect attention from their endemic and overt antisemitism, racism, misogyny & bigotry.

Education is the biggest threat to the @GOP . The more "low-information" voters there are, the better they do. Tenured professors have always been their prized target. They want academics to feel too vulnerable to speak truth to power.

Hey @NewYorker , I fixed the headline for you: "What if we stopped pretending that false prophecies of unavoidable doom are anything other than crypto-denialist narratives that favor an agenda of inaction?" (see: )

Opinion | Doomsday scenarios are as harmful as climate change denial

The evidence that climate change is a serious challenge that we must tackle now is very clear. There is no need to overstate it.

The effects of warming are already driving people from their homes as seas rise, as well as killing trees and animal species. We can adapt, but also urgently need to make deep and immediate emissions...

What starts a wildfire is immaterial to how extensive, damaging & deadly it becomes--that's determined by fuel load (enhanced by climate-driven heat & drought). So when someone cries "arson" as a means of deflection, you know they're a denialist tool. Won't name names though.

One diversionary tactic of climate deniers is to talk about what starts fires (e.g. lightning strike, arson, etc) rather than what determines their SIZE and INTENSITY (the amount of fuel, which is enhanced by heat & drought). I discussed on @CBCNews :
