The only poll that counts is a vote.
Until people can vote for or against what Greenpeace and the UN want, opinion polls are for the birds.

"The survey was conducted by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), analysts at the University of Oxford, and NGO partners using a new approach: mobile gaming."
Seriously...
Seriously...
"From October 7 to December 4, 2020, advertisements in popular mobile games like Angry Birds and Words With Friends were replaced by the survey in 17 languages. "
That's not how "the people" express their voices, Greenpeace.
Moreover, it's f***ing weird.

"Survey questions were drawn from a game that puts players in the role of politicians who are trying to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees or less through different policy areas. "
It is therefore self-selecting, you cretins.

"The survey results provide an invaluable asset for world leaders who will come together later this year at COP26, the UN’s annual climate change conference..."
Imagine that! A mandate manufactured out of a computer game that runs on smartphones.
They are insane.

They've actually called it "the people's climate vote".
They are **desperate** for legitimacy, and they know that they have absolutely no mandate whatsoever.

It would seem that the Department of Sociology at @UniofOxford believe that computer games can produce democratic mandates.
That being the case, the department should be closed.

The UNDP should be closed too.
They are dangerously separated from reality.
They are toxic to democracy.

Seriously, @UniofOxford, this has your name on it. Your name is being used to advance the idea that computer games can produce democratic mandates.
What are you going to do about it?

It's interesting to note the @UNDP's disclaimer. The study they paid for doesn't reflect their views.
But the idle opinion of 1.2 million game players DOES reflect the views of all 7.8 billion people on Earth.

Your work appears not only to be total bullshit, it's like something from beyond Black Mirror.
