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.

The fundamental mechanisms of our accidentally heating our planet are not very complicated in terms of material effects.
We've made it harder for energy to escape the planet, without a commensurate decrease in energy input.
So we warm up. It's that simple.
But when it comes to obfuscation and distraction, #GlobalWarming is a fertile ground. All sorts of complexities can be introduced, to confuse.
Here's the latest collaborative #ClimateMythDebunking from #Gigafact and Skeptical Science.

We continue our collaboration with #Gigafact, another non-profit with a specialized mission: provide impoverished newsrooms with brief, plain language #ClimateMythDebunkings ready to drop into news coverage.
Here's the latest output, covering #SeaLevelRise.
Sea level is fairly easy fodder for creating confusion; the behavior of sea level varies broadly depending on where on our #geoid one measures. A noisy signal but with a clear broad trend.

Methane contributes to global warming and methane's future role in our warming trajectory is a source of uncertainty-- and intensive research effort as a visit to our weekly #ClimateResearch listing indicates.
But methane is not exculpation for our primary role as the root cause of our current rapid surge of #GlobalWarming.
Here's the latest fruit of our collaboration with #Gigafact, a nonprofit outfit equipping newsrooms with ready-to-go #ClimateMythDebunkiings.

Due to circumstances beyond our control we're running a little behind here on Mastodon.
On November 13 we commemorated a pleasing accomplishment: completion of 20 fact briefs in cooperation with #Gigafact, a non-profit pursuing the singular purpose of equipping journalists with turnkey #debunkings of common misinformation and disinformation.
We help Gigafact with matters of climate change, often tricky due to the brevity of these drop-in treatments.

Our latest synthesis of effort with #Gigafact, to produce easy to deploy "fact briefs" for journalists (and others) who don't need to be duplicating effort.
"Is there an expert consensus on human-caused global warming?"
Yes, of course!
But this agreement has strong positive effects on the general public's enthusiasm for dealing with our #ClimateChange mess.
So, consensus has also been the target of a concerted campaign of deception intended to convey the opposite.

"Stronger together!"
Having just launched our collaboration with the #SabinCenterForClimateChangeLaw, we continue our work with #Gigafact.
"Are most glaciers growing?" Obviously not, but how is the average person to know, in an information environment crowded by fossil fuel funded #ClimateBunk?
One way is by providing news providers and consumers with concise, factual #ClimateMythDebunkings.
Here's the latest ready-to-serve treatment for newsrooms.

In our most recent weekly #ClimateNews roundup we take a moment to celebrate some local news: completion and publication of our 16th "Fact Brief" so far this year, a product of our collaboration with #Gigafact.
Gigafact is supplying important cognitive infrastructure to journalists and newsrooms. "Read all about "it as we recap this effort and what we've learned.
That and 30 other items on #ClimateChange, all conveniently accessible from one launchpad.

Here's our latest collaborative product in cooperation
with #GigaFact, a colleague non-profit dedicated to debunking rubbish propagated by various special interests.GigaFact supplies journalists with quick and easy fact checks,, especially important when newsrooms are cut to the bone.
Our contribution is to help with correcting #ClimateDisinformation, our own particular specialty.
Topic du jour: "it's natural cycles," a comforting but completely wrong analogy.

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.

"Does CO2 correlate with global temperature long-term?"
Well, of course. But not everybody knows this, and many have been intentionally misled to believe otherwise.
How to remedy such misunderstandings? One method is to provide over-stressed newsrooms with ready to go "fact briefs," which is exactly what non-profit #GigaFact is doing.
We help GigaFact with climate-related fact briefs. Here's our latest collaboration, a marvel of compression (or so we think!).

No, Biden hasn’t ‘let in’ nearly 1,700 people with links to terrorismBorder Patrol has stopped and detained people on the federal terrorist watchlist around 1,700 times since Biden took office. But they weren’t “let in” to the U.S.

Our #ClimateMythDebunking access statistics are a proxy for popularity of particular items of #ClimateBunk.
Per these stats the "MWP" or "Medieval Warming Period" has done a steady fair-to-middling trade in #ClimateConfusion, for many years.
Here's a new 160-word treatment, created in collaboration with #GigaFact and designed for quick-and-easy use by understaffed newsrooms.
This one's quite simple, a bit easier to fit into few words-- yet the myth still has legs.

Here's our latest collaborative product in company with #GigaFact, a nonprofit working to supply newsrooms with pre-cooked and easy to use #MisinformationDebunking.
Learning how to concisely convey concepts inherently at risk of turning into shaggy dog stories has been our main challenge. It needs deft hands playing together nicely.
We feel we're getting it dialed in.
Here's #OceanAcidification, in ~160 words.
("acidification:" for deniers it's a trigger word)

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.

Here's the latest fruit of our collaboration with #GigaFact to produce drop-in #ClimateMythDebunkings for staff at newspapers.
Many news organs are cut to the bone these days, especially smaller publications. We're trying to make it easier for journalists to keep people on the path of reality when dealing with stories touching on #ClimateChange.
At 150 words there's no budget to explain how models have -always- been good enough to inform our decisions-- for decades.

Here's the latest fruit of our collaboration with #GigaFact, a nonprofit providing general disinformation correction services to newsrooms in the United States.
These treatments are made to be easy drop-ins for news journals, which leads to tricky and interesting writing: compress a concept that may be complex to 150 words. Our specialist writer works with a GigaFact generalist to produce an intelligible synopsis that is layout-friendly.
