“I’m a climate scientist. Trump’s U.N. address is a fire hose of misinformation” | My new op-ed in the @sfchronicle.com: www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/open... #ScienceUnderSiege

Do yourself a favour and make time to watch this 👇

Pay no attention to the 580 diesel generators that can produce enough energy for 3 million homes behind the curtain... Oh, and did I mention this data centre is part-owned by a Trump-loving billionaire who sat by Starmer at the royal banquet? My 📝 for @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/09/25/c...

🔴 NEW - Colossal Diesel Capacity of Trump-Donor’s UK Data Centre It is “outrageous” that the richest companies in the world are being allowed to use fossil fuels to power AI, campaigners say. 📝 @rtakver.bsky.social

This year we've been really swinging for the fences. Our latest video is our biggest one yet, nearly an hour long and involving half a dozen experts. Asking "Should lying about climate change be illegal?" and, if so, how do we make it so? youtu.be/FKtCuwfUCJg

This is actually scandalous. The Telegraph today reports that Ofgen itself attributes next week's price cap rise to wind farms. Only, it's not Ofgen saying that at all, it's a... *checks notes*... renowned "CLIMATE SCEPTIC" crank who says that. I think this is complaint-level stuff...

This is part of a massive generative slop / plagiarism operation seemingly being run by one dude operating a bunch of similarly designed websites - "Krishna Pathak" (not sure if actual real dude) Also being syndicated on MSN. Registered at 'paper mill' address in Wyoming GenAI is the WORST

⁉️ How are polluting industries using digital tools to block climate action? I had a stab at an answer in Tactical Tech's latest publication "The RePlaybook" – a toolkit to decode disinfo challenge tech's divisive hold over climate comms, with contributions from 30+ authors in this space

⭐ We are thrilled to announce “The RePlaybook: A Field Guide to the Climate and Information Crisis”, a first-of-its-kind toolkit by 30+ experts, journalists & NGOs to decode disinfo, challenge tech & counter division in climate comms.⬇️Must-have! Download: tacticaltech.org/replaybook/

“Farage claimed last year to have “bought a house” in his constituency but the property is actually owned in the name of his partner, meaning he legally avoided higher-rate stamp duty on the purchase of an additional home – given he already owns other properties” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

sam altman is trying to find the guy who did this

@jamesrball.com and @writesbright.bsky.social have confirmed they're also banned from this year's Reform UK national conference. They were informed today. So Farage explicitly told Congress that he doesn't ban journalists from Reform events on the exact day that he banned journalists from events.

Farage is lying to Congress. He has banned journalists from his events. @bylinetimes.bsky.social, @desmog.com, @thenewworldmag.bsky.social and others were banned from Reform UK’s conference in Sept 2024 - even after buying tickets. @femi-oluwole.bsky.social was also removed from a Reform UK event.

Democrat @raskin.house.gov excoriates Nigel Farage for banning journalists from Reform UK events: "I'm asking you a direct question. Why do you ban journalists who oppose your views from coming to your events? Why did you tell local government not to do interviews with your local newspaper?"

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

ICYMI AI 'Slop' Websites publishing climate denial MSN hosted articles citing fake experts and institutions, posted by group linked to AI-based animal media outlet This slop used as 'evidence' by climate deniers incl. Heartland institute (Published while I was away) My latest for @desmog.com

Yet another capitulation to Reform, when all the evidence shows that following the far right agenda is a disaster for centrist parties. Politics 101, which Starmer has once again entirely failed to grasp.

Shocking, fascinating and downright ridiculous story from @joeygrostern.bsky.social about AI slop websites churning out climate denial 👇🏻

Great @desmog.com article by @joeygrostern.bsky.social on this incredible network of slopaganda, primarily used to publicise climate denial. How cool that we are still only in the early days of this type of stuff :) :) :) :) www.desmog.com/2025/08/27/a...

“AI ‘Slop’ Websites Are Publishing Climate Science Denial" | Article by @joeygrostern.bsky.social for @desmog.com: www.desmog.com/2025/08/27/a...

Yes, great effort by @desmog.com and @joeygrostern.bsky.social I also saw this site a few months back and thought WTF. It was clearly highly suspect, but good that someone has done the digging and exposed it. MSN should be deeply embarrassed it allow itself to amplify this slop.

🤦‍♂️ AI slop websites are publishing climate denial, and the people doing it even included the prompt they gave a chatbot to write the nonsense. Great story by @desmog.com www.desmog.com/2025/08/27/a...

🔴 NEW - Reform paid almost £1.3 million to right-wing newspapers during the 2024 general election campaign - roughly 25% of its total budget. 📝 @desmog.com scoop with @adambarnett.bsky.social 👇

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms. And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell... This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Rishi Sunak made £344,911 for speaking for a total of 6.5 hours at two speaking arrangements in May this year. It would take the average British worker 9.2 years to earn the same amount.

GB News spewed out almost 1,000 anti-climate attacks in 7 months - that’s like 5 every single day. Climate denial should be a crime in my view - it does enormous harm. At the very least GB News should have some regulatory scrutiny. We don’t need toxic media in our country. buff.ly/0DUA2yU
