The #DenialMachine uses MANY #trolltactics to delay #ClimateAction:
Doubt
Disinformation
Division
Deflection
Defeatism
Learn to spot them! Browse my #ClimateTip and #TT_TIP tags for lots of #troller examples. Also see my #Climate_Ed Megathread for tons of #ClimateScience info!
Scientist: "climate change will be really bad?"
Denier: "How bad?"
Scientist: "Wrong question. You should be asking: 'What are we going to do about it?'"
Climate deniers try to "hide" a crisis by demanding specific details before reacting.
- #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange
Countering the #disinformation of the #DenialMachine is MUCH easier when you know what to look for!
@Bat_Yann's blog post at SkepSci is full of great info on how to spot #tollers AND counter their #misinformation/disinfo. He even mentions my name and tags: #ClimateTip & #TT_Tip!
In his guest blog post on Skeptical Science, @Bat_Yann provides useful tips how you can help to keep #climate misinformation on Twitter in check

Exactly! Learn to spot trolls using my #TT_Tip and #ClimateTip tags, with many specific examples of #trollfarm #trolltactics that #trollers use to confuse the public.🤔
Cleaning up #trollnoise is how we'll make #socialmedia a positive place for everyone, for a #BetterFuture! 👍
Remember, Trolls aren't for engaging. They're for reporting and blocking.
Your public service announcement for the day! 😆
@Tazerface16 I also got frustrated with #trollers, and decided to start this account in part to educate the public about how much #disinformation is spread on #socialmedia.
I give examples and #trolltactics using the #TT_Tip tags, and the #ClimateTip tag for #DenialMachine climate trolls. 😁
My guiding principles for practicing Twitter pest control:
-Nobody is entitled to your time and attention.
-It's your right to choose who you engage with.
-Blocking disingenuous assholes is not censorship, whether they're obviously abusive or not.
#TT_Tip #Narcissists only care about themselves: they're relentlessly #selfish. If you pay attention, you'll see this character defect often.
#USAfriends, true #SystemChange means getting these monsters OUT of power: #VoteBlue2020! Speak up for #SocialJustice and #RacialJustice.
Suddenly it’s the Coronavirus and not the China Virus. Suddenly we’re all in this together. Suddenly the Republican party is calling for people to show empathy. Suddenly it’s clear none of them cared until it affected them. YOU never mattered to him or them.
#TT_Tip You can measure #trollfarm focus by watching their preferred targets, like Minister McKenna: this post has VERY few trolls on it so far.👹
They're busy spreading #disinformation elsewhere, likely drumming up sympathy for the #POTUS #COVID19 infection.🤔
#BeAware folks.
The economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic shows the need to create jobs and projects that can draw investor capital from around the world, adding that investors are increasingly looking for opportunities in clean energy and infrastructure.

FYI, watch regularly for new #DenialMachine #trollers Following you for the purpose of casting doubt on your #ClimateAction tweets.
Like this one just now: their timeline is PACKED with harmful #disinformation on the #ClimateCrisis and #COVID19.🤨
#ClimateTip #TT_Tip #TrollTip
3/3 They doubled down on the #Racism and 'China Bad' next, so I was done: I Blocked him.
Watch for 'Reasonable' trolls like this: they're #TimeWasters who just want to make you #DoubtYourself.
#BeAware: spot them and move on.✅

More on the Gish Gallop troll tactic:
https://t.co/XBdTNq6Ypg
Modern online trolls have adapted the tactic to bury you in 'walls of #disinformation' that are too much to easily factcheck all at once. It's designed to make you lose interest and not take action on issues. #TT_Tip

The most common form of climate misinformation is attacking climate scientists & climate science. This underscores the importance of developing strategies to counter these kinds of attacks, which undermine public trust in science (full video at https://t.co/mK8romiweS).
Well THIS is DARN useful, folks!👍
I see this behaviour often when dealing with #DenialMachine #trollers, where they 'play the victim' to elicit sympathy and deflect to conversation.🤔
Add #DARVO to your #trolltactic #TrollTip #TT_Tip #ClimateTip toolbox ASAP. 🛠️Thanks Sarah!😁
