New AI tool for climate misinformation
“Ultimately, our goal is the Holy Grail of fact-checking, which is being able to detect and debunk misinformation in real time. Ideally, I would have social media platforms using it to detect misinformation in real time.”
What counts as "climate misinformation"?
Let's have a look
"Denialist keywords include references to
extremes in the past, extremes not
increasing or extremes not linked to
climate change."
More denialist claims
Includes "damages/deaths from extreme weather aren’t increasing"
Includes "extreme weather linked to non-climate change phenomena (like ENSO)"
More denialist claims
Includes "Future generations will be richer and better able to adapt"
More denialist claims
"Carbon Capture & Sequestration (CCS) is unproven/expensive"
More denialist claims
"Nuclear power is safe/good for society/economy/environment"
More denialist claims
Criticism of Skeptical Science 🤣
If there was ever any doubt that these guys want to control public debate & silence those with differing views that's gone
