The British Government is one of the main financial backers of a new international campaign designed to suppress online climate science skepticism ahead of next year’s ‘make-or-break’ COP30 in Brazil. [emphasis, links added]
Run by the United Nations and UNESCO, the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change was signed off at the recent G20 Summit in Brazil.
Part of its remit will fund non-profit outfits rooting out so-called disinformation and promoting ‘public awareness campaigns’.
Commenting on the campaign, the UN’s global communications flack Melissa Fleming noted that a growing number of people are waking up to the harms caused by climate disinformation and “toxic information ecosystems in general”.
She suggested that a global movement for “information integrity is gaining momentum”.
In fact, this initiative is a desperate throw of the dice to further trash the scientific process and curb free speech and commentary.
Fed by decades of failed doomsday climate predictions, cherry-picked and massaged fake statistics, farcical weather ‘attribution’ claims, and an increasingly obvious politicized ‘ban’ on the skeptical discussion of the actual science, ‘momentum’ is turning towards a demand for genuine debate.
This terrifies global elites faced with a loss of credibility — as evidenced by popular votes in numerous recent elections — who [therefore] launch yet more crackdowns in increasingly desperate attempts to cancel their critics.
This was always likely to happen as deindustrialization and the need for radical life-changing (and life-threatening) economic and societal changes started to become obvious under the net zero fantasy.
Removing hydrocarbons from a modern industrial economy is impossible. But taking a different view has offered countless opportunities for command-and-control nuts from the Left of the political spectrum.
To fuel their dreams over the last 40 years, the traditional scientific process of debate and inquiry has been cast aside, replaced with a climate-modeled pseudoscience ‘consensus’ and global campaigns to induce mass psychosis over an invented climate emergency.
Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #climate change is real, man-made and dangerous. Read more: http://t.co/4lEEBYtVqf

Fleming and her UN employers have always been aware of the need to control the global narrative.
At a recent World Economic Forum ‘disinformation’ seminar, she noted that the UN had partnered with Google to ensure that only UN-approved climate search results appeared at the top.
In chilling tones, she explained: “We are becoming more proactive, we own the science and the world should know it.”
Few details about the initiative are available but it is noted that it will strengthen existing campaigns on climate change “to mitigate and counter climate disinformation, particularly in advance of COP30.”
After the unmitigated disaster that was COP29, where to comment realistically nothing was agreed, there are concerns that next year’s meeting in Rio de Janeiro will make or break the crumbling international boondoggle.
Matters will not be helped over the next four years by the contempt for the entire climate circus that is likely to be shown by the Trump administration in the United States.
Perhaps, already, the U.S. is going missing when the climate plate is handed around. Funding this latest UN-inspired free speech assault, the U.S. is notable for its absence, unlike the U.K. (of course), Chile, Denmark, France, Morocco, and Sweden.
Needless to say, when science needs to be trashed and free speech quashed, the big-money suspects are never far from the action. Fleming noted that a “wide network of civil society partners” was joining the work of the initiative.
