When we stop burning fossil fuels, the climate crisis will stop getting worse. The question is how many more will die from extreme weather events before that happens. #ClimateBrawl

Climate change has destroyed much of what was "normal" on the Earth ... and Donld Trump is destroying what is left. #ClimateBrawl
Q. Who have been the major victims of climate disinformation from Big Oil? A. CONSERVATIVES They have been cheated of the truth by the dishonest, phoney messaging of the energy-industrial complex. #ClimateBrawl
The oil industry and related vested interests launched the most massive disinformation campaign in history. Confusion exists on who was their target. It was not climate science, scientists or activists. Their main target was conservatives. #ClimateBrawl

Climate deniers, if your home is at +40°C and the humidity is high but you have no air conditioner as it had never been necessary before what do you tell your family? #ClimateBrawl
Hot Disaster Movie released last yr - "Global Warming 2025" Now the sequel is taking place in W. Europe See www.routledge.com/Climate-Deni... Every disaster movie starts by the government ignoring a scientist. This time the government is ignoring thousands of scientists. #ClimateBrawl
Climate denial has become a dark comedy. The consensus is supported by thousands of peer-revieved studies. How do climate denier prove it is a wrong - posting a meme. It gets funnier that that - with no training, believing they know better than the scientists. #ClimateBrawl
There was a time when most of the posts were just plain stupid. More recently, they have entered a new level ... now most are exceptionally stupid. Just garbage, lies and vitriol. #ClimateBrawl
What groups does the energy-industrial complex target their disinformation campaigns? Conservatives of course ... they have been abused the most and drafted into the denial rank and file. #ClimateBrawl
To become a leading climate scientist ... you need to graduate with a Ph.D. ... and publish years of study in peer-reviewed papers. To become a leading climate denier ... you need to graduate with no degrees ... and publish daily lies on X posts. Climate DENIAL is a lost cause

The geopolitical destiny of the world by the 2030's may be history repeating itself from a century before. Help us all if that comes true. ClimateBrawl
"Cliimate change has always happened," a typical post by climate deniers. While strictly true, their posts are still just DISINFORMATION, as never before at such a fast rate, especially when our species roamed the earth, and this time it is caused by us. ClimateBrawl
Even when the president of the United States calls climate change a hoax, the science does not change. Climate change is ingrained into our planet by the burning of fossil fuels, and the consequences of which will last for decades, if not centuries. ClimateBrawl
I stand with Canada. Elbows Up, Canada. Canada is not for sale. I support Mark Carney
