Bots in amplifying denialist messages

Still no refutation to the OP. Go ahead, this is getting amusing. :lol:

For those who need the obvious explained;

The OP has it that there are loads of bots firing out anti-Alarmist posts.

The evidence is that the anti-Alarmist posts, the Skeptics, show a higher level of thinking and look a lot less bot like than the Alarmists.

Then we can add it to the list of things you pretend (poorly, at that) to know about. Twitter is not a state actor. Whoopsie, there goes your rambling about free speech.

Is it your contention that there can be no discussion of free speech outside a state context? Do tell.

If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind. --John Stuart Mill

why would you bring "free speech" into a discussion about Bots?
 
Phys251 said:
These are all the comments so far from those who do not accept the OP.

Notice that none of them, not one, offers a shred of evidence to disprove it.

I wonder why that is? ;)

There is no need to disprove it. It doesn't matter.

Keep it up. This is pure comedy gold now. :lol:
 

Study: A Quarter of Climate Denier Tweets are Bots

Guest essay by Eric Worrall John Cook and Lewandowsky appear to have moved on from claiming climate skeptics are mentally defective to a new position, a claim that climate skeptics don’t actually exist, that we are mostly software masquerading as humans. Revealed: quarter of all tweets about climate crisis produced by bots Draft of Brown…

Yeah, I heard that story yesterday. I wonder though, thigh tech being what it is, if said bots can be traced. It'd be very interesting to expose whose doing all that.

Indeed. Have you noticed anybody who posts stuff with no thinking behind it at all? I'm sure I have.

Yup, that pretty much describes 99% of the climate alarmists in this forum.

WUWT


That figures.

Serious question: do you at least see how unintelligent that WUWT piece reads? I'm curious to know.

The issue raised by the OP is worthwhile only as a joke. The only way it's serious is as a prelude to an assault on free speech.

Which side do you think posts the most bot like content light posts?

You certainly don't meet the true environmentalists on this sub forum but you most certainly do meet the anarchists .... with a green veil of course :wink:

LOL if what the bots say equals the alarmist BS that comes out every day on the Guardian and CNN, then it evens out.

Spamming the usual NASA nonsense. Typical bot behavior lol.

The subject is denier bots making up a quite significant fraction of tweets on the subject, not how many times you can retype the same lame insults. It's not surprising. They have to amplify themselves to be more heard, since people are more likely to listen if they hear others are listening. So in their own fashion, they behave like those denier blogs that all cite each other.

I'm not sure what your angry fart noises were supposed to contribute to that other than to show the same tactic and agenda is applied here.

Stalker bot alert. 4 of my posts obsessively quoted. Someone needs help.

Maybe we've found a bot?

My views are backed by facts- more than I can say for yours. It's not climate change thats causing the Antarctic ice to melt, its volcanoes.

Your link doesn't say that! It actually says:

“Theory suggests that this is occurring because, without ice sheets on top of them, there is a release of pressure on the regions’ volcanoes and they become more active.”

And this could happen in west Antarctica, where significant warming in the region caused by climate change has begun to affect its ice sheets. If they are reduced significantly, this could release pressure on the volcanoes that lie below and lead to eruptions that could further destabilise the ice sheets and enhance sea level rises that are already affecting our oceans.

You have been suckered by denialist misinformation.

Actually, the one who has been suckered is you. The idea that something as relatively insubstantial as a surface ice sheet would somehow block the immense power of tectonic plate movement and resulting volcanism is a fairy tale.

Wrong. I was pointing to the fact that there are volcanoes there. I could care less what some quack's claims are- notice he is quoted as saying "could" three times in the same statement- which means he isnt sure and is just spewing his opinion.

You obviously have a hard time sorting fact from opinion. The one fact in that article is that there are active volcanoes there, thats it.
