This #trollnoise example shows why it's so hard to get ahead of disinformation: deniers can pack MANY talking points into a few sentences, and each requires a LOT of text to refute.📝
I keep a library of prepared refutations and I just paste them into my replies, so it's easier.
2/2 My rebuttal took less than 15 minutes to assemble, because I keep a library of evidenced replies to common Big Oil misinfo / disinfo / myths.📚✅
I took the time to refute this #trollnoise (as I do EVERY day!) because otherwise such lies will go unopposed, creating doubt.🤨
Remember, do NOT argue with climate change deniers.⛔🤔
Instead, focus on reaching the undecided 35% of folks, using solid info on climate science AND the MANY solutions we ALREADY have for the #ClimateCrisis.📚✅
Also: always Refute #trollnoise to lower public confusion.👹⚠️
Here's an example of a hacked older account, prized because they're 'established' (ie. been around awhile).
It's been 'scrubbed' to erase all former personalization and is now pushing anti-migrant, pro-Trump misinformation.
Watch for and Block these #trollnoise accounts, folks.
You CAN help stem the tide of #trollnoise, folks!👍
Watch for the #climatebrawl tag, asking for aid when trolls swarm posts on Twitter.

- populism (“common sense")
- climate action denial ("no carbon taxes!")
- racism (“no minority interests!")
Call out such #trollnoise when you see it! 👹
2/2 If you get a reply in immediately, it'll help defuse the crazy #trollnoise of impending troll attackers.

Staving off...
Another example.
These accounts are #ragefarming, pushing #trollnoise sans facts to deflect attention AWAY from the #fossilfuel industry and delay action on #climatechange.
Angry, ignorant people are less able to tell fact from fiction and eat up this #fakenews on #socialmedia.
refute "What about China and India!" #trollnoise.✅
Two typical examples of #trollers spreading doubt and #disinformation about the #ClimateCrisis. Such distractions are everywhere on #socialmedia, paid for by #BigOil to push #fossilfuel talking points.🤨
Take #ClimateAction, folks: call out such #trollnoise whenever you see it.
A typical #troller reply, spreading doubt and #disinformation about #renewableenergy.👹
This one's particularly notable for its lack of effort in cobbling together words to make nonsensical pseudoscience.🙄
#ClimateAction = calling out such #trollnoise about the #ClimateCrisis.
@BotSentinel helps spot obvious #trollers.
For example, these ONLY spread doubt, misinfo and disinfo on Twitter 24/7, and their ratings reflect that.
Their #trollnoise confuses the public on vital issues like the #ClimateCrisis.
Report &...
One example of the HUGE amount of #trollnoise that's everywhere on #socialmedia today.👹
It's confusing to the public & delays effective #ClimateAction, because many people can't tell ACTUAL #ClimateCrisis solutions from utter nonsense.🤨
Which is how #BigOil keeps profiting.🤑
#BigOil's #DenialMachine continues to create #denial accounts in 2023.
This one's new this month, and ALL of its 88 tweets so far push doubt and #disinformation about manmade #climatechange.
Learn to spot such #trollnoise & call it out, folks.🧐
#ClimateAction #ClimateBrawl
When I talk about #trollnoise on #socialmedia, I'm referring to posts like this one.🤨
#Conspiracy nuts only sow doubt and public confusion about vital issues like the #ClimateCrisis.
It's helpful to understand why people so easily buy into...
2/2 Read through this breakdown of the practice meme.📖✅
It's surprising how much misinfo and disinfo can be packed into a meme, along with many manipulations designed to push doubt about vital issues like #climatechange or #vaccines.
Learn to spot AND refute such #trollnoise!
Some examples of #BlueTick accounts that in NO WAY make Twitter a better, more-informed place.
Especially on vital issues like #climatechange, #vaccines, #COVID19 and #freedom. ⚠️📈☣️
They're just more #trollnoise spreading #disinformation, #misinformation, #hate and worse.☹️
MANY 'zombie' #climatechange #denial memes are widely circulated because the average person ISN'T aware they've been debunked.📲🤔
It's why #deniers keep sharing such #trollnoise.
#ClimateAction's too often playing catch-up, so #refute #BigOil nonsense!
#ClimateBrawl #trolltip
1/2 Here's a pure #BigOil #DenialMachine account.
Every one of its tweets is misleading or an outright lie.
There's no personalization / profile info: disposable.
Note the awful 74% #BotSentinel rating: #trollalert!

Mike's tweet has over TEN THOUSAND replies, 99% of which are #trollnoise from #climatechange #deniers.
This is what #trollswarms do, folks.👹👹👹
It's a new way for the #DenialMachine to confuse the public: burying #socialmedia #ClimateCrisis posts in #misinformation and noise.
This is how #trollswarms start, folks:
Popular accounts make inflammatory (often ignorant) posts and their followers flock to 'ratio' the target.
In this case, Matt locked his post's replies to limit the #disinformation and #trollnoise.
It's a common #trolltactic, so #BeAware.
Good for these #ClimateAction folks standing up to #trollnoise!
Yet #trollers whine about #freespeech and being 'cancelled' while Twitter is overrun with #BigOil #disinformation, #hate, #misogyny and worse.🤨
The 'ninjas' fighting #climatechange...
I think this is April's #DumbestDenier tweet winner!
If you want to see #trollswarms of #climatechange #deniers, head over to @MikeHudema's posts.
The #DenialMachine is determined to bury his #ClimateAction in #misinformation and #trollnoise.
Help him out, #ClimateBrawl folks!
There's still far too many trolls pushing #conspiracy nonsense on #socialmedia. This one's spreading #misinformation about #COVID19 #vaccines.
#Refute their #trollnoise / #disinformation and block as needed, folks. The wilfully ignorant are keeping the public confused on facts.
It's easy to spot #DenialMachine #trollnoise, folks: just look at the disparity between the stated purpose of the channel ("a forum for more open debate on all aspects of #climatechange") and the titles / content of their videos.
Derision, deflection and doubt isn't science.📊🤨
#Trollers will always troll.👹
This newer one was SO close to getting how #ClimateAction works, though! 😊 Still, a scan of his TL shows he's deep into #COVID19 #disinformation, so a Block is the best choice.⛔
Keep fighting the #ClimateCrisis and related #trollnoise, folks.👍
2/3 As the reviewer says above, the code PUNISHES posts with links to external sites yet BOOSTS posts with pictures or videos.📉📈
Meaning memes and rants - #misinformation hotbeds - now outrank links to reputable sources.😕
That's a #%! CRAZY, deliberate boost for #trollnoise.
Mike's thread was #ratioed yesterday.
Which isn't a 'victory' for #BigOil #trollers.
Scientific debates AREN'T 'won' on #socialmedia.
They're made with evidence from reputable sources.
Trolls try to BURY #climatechange evidence in #trollnoise to confuse people.
#ClimateBrawl
