Nonprofit #Gigafact produces ready-to-go fact briefs for hard-pressed short-staffed newsrooms, supplying authoritative specialist information to the public. In context these must be highly compressed.
Gigafact prioritizes treatments by prevalence of misinformation appearance. Here we see a seemingly immortal #ClimateMyth, "it's the sun."
Here's why it -isn't- the sun, presented with marvelous economy of words.
Skeptical Science collaborated on factual underpinnings.

We're assisting #GigaFact with their mission as a non-profit to equip short-staffed news publishers and broadcasters with fact briefs touching on matters of #ClimateChange.
Getting everybody calibrated on how to compress often complicated topics to the extreme brevity of these easy-embed items has been a challenge.
We're starting to hit a decent pace of production.
Here's collaborative output correcting an old warhorse #ClimateMyth blaming change on cosmic rays.

Whether by accident or design a certain flavor of #ClimateScienceDenial centers on semantic niceties.
Maybe no better example than "ocean acidification." The term "acidification" is a neutral (!) expression of falling pH-- from any starting level. #ClimateMyth enthusiasts would like us to believe this term of movement on a continuum to be hyperbole. It isn't; it's only an expression of direction.
Here's our 150-word treatment, in collaboration with #GigaFact.

2011: "medieval" relative to 2024? Perhaps so, in online terms. In any case the internet-ancient ca. 2011 #ClimateMyth centered on the "Medieval Warming Period" (MWP) as a dodge to exculpate us from our accidentally warming our planet continues to resonate. So our #ClimateMythDebunking access statistics indicate, as a proxy measure.
We've been doing an overall update of our #ClimateBunk treatments. Now up: the #MWP, with an at-a-glance treatment.
Opinions welcome!

The slickly produced #ClimateBunk vehicle "Climate: The Movie" features a remarkable inventory of climate disinformers. 76% of the parroting personalities in the movie are found in the #DeSmog database.
This collection of the #UsualSuspects leans on 25 stale #ClimateMyth products of fossil fuel industry subcontractors, all already covered by us.
The movie is not about science but rather ideology, a familiar conflation of freedumb with freedom.
