On April 22nd, Earth Day, Twitter wrote in a statement: “Now more than ever, meaningful climate action, from all of us, is critical. Today – on #EarthDay2022 – we’re sharing more about our work to serve the climate conversations happening across Twitter, plus the latest on our own sustainability commitments.”
Therefore, the social media will henceforth ban all ads that they deem to promote climate change denialism.
To better serve these conversations, misleading advertisements on Twitter that contradict the scientific consensus on climate change are prohibited, in line with our inappropriate content policy. We believe that climate denialism shouldn’t be monetized on Twitter, and that misrepresentative ads shouldn’t detract from important conversations about the climate crisis. This approach is informed by authoritative sources, like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports.
We recognize that misleading information about climate change can undermine efforts to protect the planet. In the coming months, we’ll have more to share on our work to add reliable, authoritative context to the climate conversations happening on Twitter.
Twitter said in an official statement
The official statement goes onto explain how the company itself plans to ramp up their goals to, somehow, reduce their carbon and greenhouse gas emissions. They plan to do this by “transitioning to renewable electricity in all our EU leased operations; using 100% carbon-neutral energy in our directly leased buildings by 2025; and upping our investments in carbon removal technologies.”
According to Twitter, discussions about all things related to climate change and renewability have grown substantially in 2021.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The WinePress is not on Twitter, but if we were, we no doubt would have been scrubbed long ago. I know that people have told me that some of our posts that get shared on Facebook, Twitter, and other places, have gotten ‘labels’ put on them. Not surprising.
Right now there is this psy-op that Elon Musk is going to scoop up Twitter and make it censorship free – the same man who wants to chip everyone in the head, and upload their consciences to the cloud! The conservatives and MAGA worshippers have bought into this. Don’t listen to it. It’s just another bait and switch.
[5] A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet. [6] In the transgression of an evil man there is a snare: but the righteous doth sing and rejoice. [13] The poor and the deceitful man meet together: the LORD lighteneth both their eyes.Proverbs 29:5-6, 13
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Hey Jacob, just a reminder:
I’ve sent ya two emails. One where I refute a former Sunday school teacher with Job 20:6-9, and one of a news report of a man who used his 3 year old son as a human shield.
The first one isn’t story worthy I don’t think but I love hearing your thoughts on it and even other scriptures I might’ve missed, too.
I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks, Buddy.
No rush, I just LOVE to hear true believers talk and expose things with the scriptures. Talk about spiritual nourishment. Edify.
Any suggestions on a legit search engine (like one that comes up with mostly alternative sites to the ones who are TRULY spreading the misinformation)?
I’ve been using Quant for the last month. From what I can tell it’s structured similar to DDG. But that will get ratioed too eventually.
