"A study published Wednesday in the journal Nature finds that TikTok’s algorithm systematically prioritized pro-Republican content in three states leading up to the 2024 US elections."

Passive voice? Climate change has “become a partisan issue”? Say it straight: fossil fuel industry’s corruption has made it a partisan issue; Republicans are hip-deep in fossil fuel money and lies.

Amsterdam’s landmark ban on fossil fuel ads is now in force and other cities are watching closely. It’s part of a growing push to stop ads that promote the very activities driving the climate crisis.

rapidly approaching critical dipshittery dunking levels on my feed, thanks to back to backs from @karlbode.com and @volts.wtf

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

Fight, don't fold.

I only have seven followers on Reckoning Science. I am reckoning most of you don't realize that is me (and my great research associate, @kaurov.org So please follow us! bsky.app/profile/reck...

FRIENDS Here's my great big story about my experiences deep in the guts of the "wind turbine syndrome" debate. What I fucked up, what I learnt, and what it tells me about the growing fears around data centres and inaudible "infrasound" Make some tea, sit down, have a read (thread coming later) ❤️

@caadcoalition.bsky.social (CAAD) & CCNow are developing a new, improved, and global “Journalist Field Guide to Covering Climate Disinformation,” building on CAAD’s existing resource. Read the current guide buff.ly/a0upSn7 and share your feedback by TODAY, to help shape the new one. buff.ly/GdG0QlF

The authors argue that as long as universities keep accepting fossil-fuel linked donations, they’re allowing for potential industry influence over climate research. caad.info/analysis/rep...

What would you do with over $1 billion dollars? That’s how much Big Carbon spent on universities since 2010 to shape climate research and “reinforce denialist narratives.” Yet out of 39 University funding policies, only 3 mention fossil fuel companies directly, a new study shows.

now that im working globally, it's been wild to find out that there are OTHER COUNTRIES BESIDES THE USA!?!? No one teaches us that in schools here, I swear. Anyway, please send in non-US examples of disinfo+solutions so i can lern, thnk u

Can confirm ive had this exact conversation like 50 times with wonks

ATTN CLIMATE DORKS: AUTISM IS A HOAX IS THE NEW CLIMATE DENIAL

i swear to god this Koch stooge hires new video producers all the time. Like every 3 minutes I see another NEW ad from him begging for help making his rightwing propaganda and big business disinfo. You'd think it wouldn't be hard to find someone given the likely budget! And yet!!!!

Read the current version and share your feedback to help shape the new version! buff.ly/GdG0QlF

Lies about Global Warming are a global problem, and require global solutions, so tell us about your local examples of disinfo, and your local solutions, and maybe we'll use them for a new, updated Journalist Field Guide!

Researchers find that 98% of recent environmental claims by major meat and dairy companies can be characterized as greenwashing. See M. Bach, L. Loy, @katharinemach.bsky.social, S. Shukla McDermid, and J. Jacquet's full study below. journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

Big meat and dairy are borrowing Big Oil’s playbook, using greenwashing to defend their social licence and stall climate action. A new analysis from @cssn.org of 1,233 statements from 33 major firms finds 98% can be characterised as greenwashing. journals.plos.org/climate/arti...

"A senior official from another Baltic state said Russia was also 'weaponising' the net-zero agenda to stir up public resentments." "...it is only a matter of time before the tactics that are now being tested on the Baltic states are turned against other countries, including the UK and Germany"

“Facebook’s AI slopaganda is the new Cambridge Analytica scandal... they knew users wouldn’t quit scrolling despite the degraded feeds because users couldn’t, as Meta deliberately chose to build an addictive product, as a jury has recently confirmed.” CAAD told @desmog.com

Corporate broadcast coverage of climate change fell 35% in the last year, even as Trump systemically dismantled climate policy and billion-dollar disasters rose The gradual deprioritization led NBC climate reporter Chase Cain to hit a breaking point, and he quit last week Here's our interview:

The "mainstream" has always just been polite code for whiteness

It’s amazing that we’ve all just had to accept that our top military leaders in time of was will only take questions from wildly partisan media outlets. LindellTV, Daily Caller, Daily Wire get called on, but no legitimate general audience or defense press outlets.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

"llms can write social science articles better than professors now" BITCH I DONT CARE. i literally do not care because the point of people having fucking thoughts and doing research is PEOPLE HAVING THOUGHTS AND DOING RESEARCH. the point of the work is DOING THE FUCKING WORK.

I'm not saying Republicans are liars, I'm saying the AI said Republicans lie about climate change 13 times more often than Democratic Congresspeople, and it's because they're getting paid by the fossil fuel industry to lie about climate change and obstruct climate action.

A California agency received 20k AI-generated comments opposing heat pump rules. Staff called a sample to verify—several said they never sent comments. Raises serious questions about the opposition campaign that helped kill the clean air standards, that would've prevented 1000s of premature deaths.

We cracked down on tobacco ads because they were selling us something deadly. Fossil fuel advertising is selling a different kind of harm, and cities banning it are finally calling it what it is.

"Cities across the world are clearing their billboards of flight ads, SUVs, cruise ships and petrol cars in an attempt to cut emissions." Great piece by @isabellakaminski.bsky.social.

🚨 New from @ucs.org: Internal DOE Documents Confirm Climate Report Was Created to Justify Administration Policy "Facts are supposed to shape policy—not the other way around."

Frame: the left is hurting itself by not engaging with the god machines Negation: but this technology doesn't do the things you claim kirby: the people writing these stories get funding to support narratives of power and inevitability, and that's what we should be scrutinizing
