Table 3 The 20 climate disinformation statements and their coding
From: Psychological inoculation strategies to fight climate disinformation across 12 countries
Coding | Disinformation tweet |
|---|---|
Science_1 | As more wind and solar are added they raise electricity prices and destabilize electric grids. Because they are part-time unreliable weather dependent sources. We want full-time electricity. Not part-time like third world countries. All for silly expensive net zero. CA pays more. |
Science_2 | The current exceptional warming and cooling your seeing is due to the location of the Jet Stream. It’s become very wavy due to the lack of Solar Energy going into the Oceans and nothing to do with Man Made CO2 |
Science_3 | Today’s ‘global warming’ is estimated to be an otherwise unmeasurable 0.4°C (0.72°F) over the 1979-2000 average… despite 50% of all manmade emissions. No 2022 weather event was unprecedented or can be blamed on CO2 emissions. |
Science_4 | This is a portrait of climate fraud, posturing as the saviours of the world. They are a breed of crooks, getting rich by ripping off gullible western nations. The UN led climate hoax has been running since 1988. They want us to believe a pack of lies about earth’s climate. |
Science_5 | Too often, academic reports on climate use highly skewed data that seem to have been carefully selected to support aggressive environmental regulations. One recent and much-cited Lancet report appears deliberately deceptive. |
Science_6 | The climate hoax devised by the UN, supported by rich elitists is endorsed by our treacherous leaders is an attack on freedoms & rights. Climate cultism is a form of global self hatred. It aims to punish western nations by transferring huge reparations to the developing world. |
Science_7 | Top NASA Climate Modeler Admits Predictions Are ‘Mathematically Impossible’ |
Science_8 | Lots of links of studies of the Medieval Warm Period that climate science deniers (alarmists) want to pretend did not exist. Because there is no explanation for natural warming during this time. Studies point out temp was warmer back then, than now. |
Science_9 | According to global warming theory the poles should warm significantly if carbon dioxide is driving temperatures Just the opposite is occurring in the southern hemisphere. |
Science_10 | The evidence for manmade climate change is so thin they cannot debate it. They hide behind the lie of consensus. There is no room for consensus in science. The basis is a provable hypothesis. There is not a single peer reviewed study that proves manmade CO2 is causing warming. |
Action_1 | At Climate Summit, Elites Chow Down on Gourmet Meats While Telling Us to Eat Bugs |
Action_2 | FACT CHECK Results of the Biden administration’s extreme climate agenda cutting emissions by 44% by 2030. Annual Jobs Lost: 1.2 MILLION. Lost Economic Growth: $7.7 TRILLION. Increase in Electric Bills: 23% Increase in Gas Prices: 2$ PER YEAR |
Action_3 | The war on ‘fossil fuels’ is absurd considering the vast fields of coal/oil/gas everywhere on earth. The mantle is brimming over with it. A United Nations bid for control, cash & power has led to an energy crisis that looms as the biggest self-inflicted disaster in human history. |
Action_4 | Death and privation caused by the lack of affordable energy caused by Green Energy policies will not affect the Elites at all. They want us to eat bugs, do a lot less as they carry on with their lives just as they are doing now. Climate scamsters. They should lead by example. |
Action_5 | You are lying. Fossil fuels gave us cheap energy for decades so billions live longer healthier happier lives. Many technologies like carbon capture, filters fuel additives etc reduces emissions. Banning fossil fuels is creating fuel poverty and harming people |
Action_6 | Energy literacy starts with the knowledge that renewable energy is only intermittent electricity generated from unreliable breezes and sunshine, as wind turbines and solar panels cannot manufacture anything for the 8 billion on this planet. |
Action_7 | Imagine sacrificing 500 high-paying coal jobs, ranging up to $60,000/yr, for the climate hoax. Even if you believe in the hoax, global emissions are up 5% from pre-pandemic levels -- 90% because of China. Emissions from a single mine are insignificant. |
Action_8 | Europe’s transition to renewable energy and net zero carbon is not working, except to make life hard on average European citizens. |
Action_9 | Willfully-blind ignorance about the consequences of [the rush to green policies] – deep recessions, broken societies and millions more going hungry – doesn’t make them any less immoral. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Bingo. |
Action_10 | Solar and wind are far more expensive than established reliable stable secure electricity from pure hydro coal gas nuclear. That’s why your shift to unreliable, unstable, expensive solar and wind; is devastating families; and exporting manufacturing jobs |
