    BERLIN — Twitter says it will no longer allow advertisers on its site who deny the scientific consensus on climate change, echoing a policy already in place at Google.

    “Ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis,”

    here's the concensus

    1) The earth is warming
    2) Man probably played a role in that
    3) Sea levels will likely rise

    Here NOT consensus
    1) That global food production will suffer. In fact the opposite is like true
    2) That megastorms are getting worse and more common
    3) That planet wide drought will increase. Again the opposite is more likely

    There is such a thing in general but you are correct to observe that is not how science works.

    And one of the major problems with so-called Climate Change science is the huge amounts of money being poured into it. So if you want to be in on that payroll you just might be biased in your findings and conclusions!

    #2 is speculation
    #3 is not nonsense but the question of how noticeable it will be is up for discussion. I should be sitting in the Atlantic Ocean right now based on their fake prediction of 16 years ago. Soon I will be, but the water is only 67 degrees so i will wait a little longer before I walk down and dive in.

    Twitter's top 100 accounts are not being reposted.
    What would be the Titter solution?
    Let's get rid of advertisers!
    And perhaps, just as importantly, it's also been internationally exposed as a left wing propaganda machine. Elon Musk has already done his job.

    Food production may well suffer but not by 'global change'.

    Given what has been going on in all the democracies for the past several years, it would appear we are in an unannounced war. It's interesting also that Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Ted Turner are the largest farmland owners in the United States.

    And the same people who gave us Covid and the harmful face masks are now major players in the US food industry.

    I hope he succeeds. Maybe Freedom can be restored.
    Progressives are Passionate about establishing Totalitarian Tyranny.

    Conservatives are Apathetic about maintaining a Free Society.

    Twitter is on a secular decline. The glut of it's progressive liberal dogma, while banning all other thinking, is steadily reducing it to a certain group of self absorbed sycophants stroking each other's egos, while reducing the platform to an esoteric far left fringe group. I don't know why Elon would want to buy an apple that looks shiny on the outside, that he knows is rotten to it's core.
