This year’s climate summit took place against a backdrop of increased drilling and mining — in Brazil, the host government recently granted a license to the state oil company to explore new sources of oil near the mouth of the Amazon River.

Even so, Brazil’s leader, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, opened the talks by denouncing obstructionists who “reject scientific evidence and attack institutions.”

“They manipulate algorithms, sow hatred and spread fear,” he said, describing a surge in disinformation and propaganda aimed at blocking action to slow climate change.

The problem has become so acute that the summit, for the first time, put the issue on the agenda. A coalition of countries and international agencies issued a separate “Declaration on Information Integrity on Climate Change,” calling on governments to address climate disinformation, promote transparency and protect journalists, scientists and environmentalists.

1. Of course they are

The wealthiest people in the world are wealthy because thy are killing the world, and use that massive wealth to tell us all the death of earth is fake news. And they pay lawmakers that they install, to make laws to allow them to make even more wealth from killing the planet faster.
All the warriors out there trying to get the truth out are doing it for free or for Pennie’s. They always have since the era of environmentalism, the 70’s and 80’s So let’s give Greta et al “their” (the right wing) amount of funding from World Wide donations. America’s rich will give nothing. The world can not depend on our leadership. And we should never spend a penny or a vote on the “Green Party”. They ARE the Fakest of Fake Noice, financed by those same billionaires that are billionaires by killing the planet. 🌎 🔥🌚🌑
