Now why would a Russian news agency, known for its outrageously false and incendiary content,want to create a tall tale and spread useless fabricated nonsense about people and science in America? What about this latest disinformation campaign isn't propaganda pablum to create turmoil and chaos by lie? Why is it being repeated on this forum?
The source for the OP is Sputnik: a news website platform and radio broadcast service established by the Russian government-owned news agency Rossiya Segodnya. Headquartered in Moscow it is known for engaging in coordinated inauthentic behavior.
Sputnik is often accused of reporting ‘fake news, spreading misinformation and being a “Kremlin Propaganda Machine” by European and American media outlets. In 2017, the FBI launched an investigation into Sputnik for a potential violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
Sputnik routinely publishes articles that promote conspiracy theories such as those about the murder of Seth Rich, which fact checker Snopes has debunked. Sputnik also employs conspiracy theorists such as former Breitbart writer Lee Stranahan, who was hired as co-host of a radio show for Sputnik Radio, called “Fault Lines with Nixon and Stranahan”. Lee Stranahan also appears as a guest on Alex Jones’ Infowars program, which is famous for promoting outrageous right-wing conspiracies.
All of these climate doom and gloom admonitions are useless without a proper cost-benefit analysis. We need to debate the math of how much porn contributes to global warming vis-a-vis the social costs of banning it. We need more math-debating, not less.
Scientists and experts are all in agreement that man-made climate change is real, and is a threat to our civilization.
If doctor's told you to cut back on smoking to protect your health.....but instead you listen to the tobacco companies telling you to ignore your doctor and keep smoking...that IS crazy.
You can listen to the greedy politicians and big oil exec's....I'm listening to the scientific experts on this one.
