Gerald Butts wants Facebook to censor your climate change opinions

[JohnLarue]

Gerald Butts along with a group of 14 other non-scientists wrote a letter to the former Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt and the Facebook Oversight Board asking them to “take action” by kicking climate change unbelievers off of Facebook.

Thorning-Schmidt is one of the four people selecting Facebook's 40 person “free speech panel,” which isn't actually about protecting free speech, but about deciding who gets it, and who doesn't

So Justin's puppet master. Yes the same one who had to resign in disgrace for seeking to pervert our justice system, now wants to censor the internet

FACEBOOK MUST STOP THE SPREAD OF CLIMATE MISINFORMATION

An open letter to Helle Thorning-Schmidt and Facebook's Oversight Board.

Now despite recent revelations the IPCC lied and mislead the world about the impossible RCP8.5 scenario for six long years and despite environmentalist Michael Shellenberger apologizing “On Behalf of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare.” Gerald Butts want to double down and censor climate change opinion


Here are some of the highlight of the request

Above all, you told the world that climate change is not “an opinion.” It is fact.

Actually it has never been proven or disproven experimentally , so it is far more opinion than fact

Facebook is allowing the spread of climate misinformation to flourish, unchecked, across the globe. Instead of heeding the advice of independent scientists and approved fact-checkers from Climate Feedback, Facebook sided with fossil fuel lobbyists by allowing the CO2 Coalition to take advantage of a giant loophole for “opinion” content. The loophole has allowed climate denial to fester by labeling it “opinion,” and thus, avoiding the platform’s fact-checking processes.

#1 Approved fact checkers from Climate Feedback? Approved by who? Approved by Gerald butts
I visited Climate Feedback website and after 30 minutes of searching I was unable to determine exactly who they are, who funds them and what authority they have been granted
#2 allowing the CO2 Coalition to take advantage of a giant loophole for “opinion” content
It is an opinion he wants censored and clearly labelled as such

Climate denial and misinformation are also deadly. By allowing climate misinformation to go unchecked, Facebook is actively putting the health and well-being of our nation’s most vulnerable low-income communities and communities of color at risk.

So the IPCC and climate science allowed the "climate misinformation to go unchecked" for six long years. The IPCC and climate science are actively putting the health and well-being of our nation’s most vulnerable low-income communities and communities of color at risk.

The integrity of the Oversight Board is at risk. Mark Zuckerberg has refused to recognize that he must get the facts right on climate, and refused to acknowledge that climate denial on his platform is as dangerous a threat to future generations as any.

He is correct here as the integrity of the Oversight Board is at risk if they even consider Gerald Butts request to censor opinion.

We are asking you to lead the charge to fix this. Until Facebook takes a stand, climate denial groups such as the CO2 Coalition will continue to exploit your platform to sow discord and put our nation’s health and security at dire risk.

I will translate "We are asking you to back our opinion and silence those who have a different opinion"
"Failure to comply with our demand may just exposes us for what we really are"

Not a scientist to be found in this lot

When a behind the scenes, do the dirty work, manipulator like Gerald Butts is seeking to sensor opinions on the internet, we have a problem. An Orwellian problem

Wether one believes the climate change alarmist propaganda or you do not believe it is the secondary issue here.
you are entitled to your opinion and Gerald Butts has no right to demand you be censored if it is not aligned with his opinion.
This is a huge slippery slope

i really hope the first amendment still means something in the US

Another example (and a very serious one) of the left attempting to silence those who do not agree with them

The lefties on this forum will kiss Butts' butt because he acts directly for Trudeau.

What I love about this post is that larue is admitting he's spreading disinformation by saying this applies to him.
FACEBOOK MUST STOP THE SPREAD OF CLIMATE MISINFORMATION

If he had legit arguments instead of nonsense there could be real discussion. But stopping people from spreading coranivirus disinformation, white supremacist/racist shite and scientific disinformation is in society's interest.

Larue is an extremist, his views are those of the fringe and not backed up by science.
As he once said, 'if climate change is real and its not acted on it would be the biggest sin in mankind's history'.
A sin he is clearly backing.

Butts is Geppetto to Trudeau's Pinocchio. This is so obvious.

I wish Gerald Butts would do the same thing with terb that he’s doing on Facebook. All you Righties would be unceremoniously booted off the platform for your racism, climate disinformation, and douchebag behaviour in general. That would be REAL progress.

I don't think you will ever get Butts to admit he has any knowledge of Terb at all.

Climate change denial is more of the same.

This is happening right now.

What you talking about Willis, I've been here all along.

 

[jcpro]

It's an admission of defeat. The "science" is too shaky to persuade, so they move to censorship. Bunch of fascists.

There is nothing shaky about the science. The fact that the Right is too stupid, ignorant, and racist to understand the science is not the fault of the scientists.

In any case, there comes a point when it simply does not serve the public interest to allow ignorance, racism, and disinformation to pollute the public discourse. In other words, time to climb back under your rock. It’s over.

LOL. If Gerald Butts had his way, he would not censor based on right or left
He would make Justin speak about the exploitation of women and shut TERB down as that would be the politically correct thing to do and appealing to electorate

You may try thinking a bit before posting

Actually it is the most shaky theory ever mis-represented

Emissions – the ‘business as usual’ story is misleading

Stop using the worst-case scenario for climate warming as the most likely outcome — more-realistic baselines make for better policy.

Acclaimed Environmentalist Apologizes For Pushing Climate Alarmism

"The tragedy is that we're traumatizing our young people and doing things that actually make environmental problems worse," said author Michael Shellenberger.

thefederalist.com

Shellenberger released an article Sunday titled, “On Behalf of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare.” T

The fact that the Right is too stupid, ignorant, and racist to understand the science is not the fault of the scientists.

Climate is likely the most complicated thing other than the human brain , which mankind has ever attempted to study
The alarmist claim to have it modeled out correctly. Not a snowballs chance in hell


As of this point you appear to be one of the sheepeople blindly following whatever Gerald Butts says
Prove me wrong, show us you understand more on this issue than whatever propaganda you may recall
Something fundamental to the flawed alarmist theory
Perhaps you can explain the logarithmic nature of infrared radiation as a function of concentration, just so we can ascertain, how well you understand the science ?

In any case, there comes a point when it simply does not serve the public interest to allow ignorance, racism, and disinformation to pollute the public discourse.

You are entitled to your opinion regardless of how ill-informed you are
However it is important for you to understand if Gerald Butts & his 15 Nazi friends gets to censor opinion on climate, it might not be long before your opinion on some issue is also at odds with thier opinion

In other words, time to climb back under your rock. It’s over.

Far from it. There are more and more people questioning the propaganda everyday . Michael Sheellenberger has promised to make it his mission to expose the Climate Scare.
His recent book
Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All Kindle Edition

is a best seller on Amazon

Besides if it were "over" as you put, there would be no need to censor anyone

No I am pretty sure the scared one is the disgraced Gerald Butts

And I thought I was in a discussion with a grown up.
Live and learn

I noticed you did not dare answer the question put to you. less you expose how very little you understand about the science.
Word of advise, if you are going to call somebody out about a subject, it is best if you have at a least some understanding of the matter, less you look foolish

It is quite amusing having scientific know -nothings accusing others of not understanding the science
Funny how they are never up-to-the task when asked some fundamental stuff, but they always have an opinion (a mis-informed wrong opinion)

Careful Gerald butts wants to control that opinion

Sure LaRue...because you know more than every scientist who has devoted their professional lives to studying climate change. Now take the underwear off your head- you look ridiculous.

You are more biased and intolerant and spew more hate than the Grand Wizard of the KKK.

Indeed. I have zero tolerance for racist idiots.

If you take how much the a grand Wizard of the KKK hates minorities and people of colour and multiply it by infinity: that’s how much I hate people like you.

Pleased to see you are figuring it out. Tomorrow’s lesson will explain why my hate for those like you is dwarfed by the damage and pain that you and your ilk have inflicted on minorities and people of colour.

You have to be the most ignorant person that I have ever come across on the internet. You know absolutely nothing about me and yet you make these outlandish charges against me. I would ask for an apology but it would mean nothing anyway.
