They said climate change was making wildfires more intense.

In truth, better forest management to reduce wood fuel accumulation makes them less intense, even with hotter temperatures, as everyone always knew:

.@algore should apologize for lying to billions of people about climate change, islands, and arctic sea ice, which he said would likely disappear over ten years ago. He gave climate anxiety to millions of children.

They lied about the growing coral on the Great Barrier Reef and got Facebook to censor Australia's top scientist on the issue.

Most self-appointed fact-checkers are liars. They spread disinformation and then demanded censorship on the basis of it. They did this with everything from the Hunter Biden Laptop to transgenderism to the Great Barrier Reef. They should be shut down.

In response to "fact checkers," Facebook last year banned @EpochTimes for saying arctic sea ice wasn't declining. But @EpochTimes was right. Even @guardian now admits it. Mark Zuckerberg @finkd — you owe an apology to everyone you censored.

The statement and conversation engage in public discourse by discussing climate change, media accuracy, and public accountability. The tone is accusatory, suggesting misinformation by public figures and media outlets.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement accuses individuals and organizations of lying, which could be harmful if not substantiated with evidence. This violates the principle of striving to do no harm. [-2]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not respect the privacy and dignity of others, as it involves public accusations without clear evidence, potentially leading to harassment or cyberbullying. [-2]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement lacks constructive criticism and instead engages in personal attacks, which does not promote constructive dialogue. [-2]
