I’ve been looking at the tweets on #cop21 and put simply, they are discussing anything but the actual facts about climate. Indeed many have nothing to do with climate and are the usual “saving the whales, saving the rainforest, saving our grants, saving our right to protest about saving the whales …”
As far as tweeter goes, it is largely a festival of the ill-informed “hangers-on” who use climate to push entirely unrelated issues.
Here’s a typical selection:
