Objection to climate change narratives has been ongoing since the 1990s
https://archive.is/ZEbqOBut a search for this petition (I'm a signatory) only brings up articles critical of it, the signers, the wording, etc.
Not one notes that there was no consensus then, and that search results were deflecting potential signatories away from the actual petition even then. What's worse, by effectively shielding the user from dissent, the lie that
97% of climate scientists agree (meaningless, because they can ALL be wrong) could be perpetuated, even as the peer-review process was used to squelch dissenting papers.
I saw this when a professor found paleo patterned ground on top of a butte in SW North Dakota, documented it (a sure sign of permafrost), and submitted his research to the GSA. It was summarily rejected, "because there was no permafrost during the last ice age in ND".
Nothing like circular reasoning to reject what does not fit your narrative, and it is by no means limited to the climate.
During COVID I tried to post links, without comment, on Fecebook, to two papers (peer reviewed, medical journal articles, one from 2005--NEJM and Lancet). The post was branded as "misinformation" in less time than it took to click my mouse.
Twitter was such an echo chamber then, that I didn't even try there.
Web searches relied on searching for specific papers, digging through the references to find others. Many were available, but some were behind paywalls.
It has otten worse, with AI telling us what to think.
Grok (yes, even Grock) was labeling posts as "potential spam", when they were factual, contained only reference links, if any, and sold no product. I confronted it, asked how those posts were considered SPAM. They were not repetitive. They sold no product. Links (if any) were provided to references, not selling anything. The material content was factual. After doing that a few times, Grok stopped putting my posts in the 'potential spam' bit at the bottom of the thread, but I always check there for information that may have been masked. (sometimes censorship is subtle).
