An online petition that anyone can and did sign. CBC swallowed it hook line and sinker.

11000 “climate” scientists sign a declaration of climate emergency?? I think you misrepresented 11000 scientists. Your headline should read “POLITICAL SCIENTISTS”!

I didn’t know dumbledore and Mickey Mouse were scientists???

[rickmatz]

The media outlets received 600m to preach this crud.

Come on CBC, even the UN put out a statement telling people to stop with all the crisis rhetoric.

Please link to the actual report and list of signers.

[camelectric]

Title should read as : "11 000 regular people liked the post of a science student"

[Oli_Olberius]

Let me just say what everyone's thinking. On their merits alone these two reporters would have never made it in the world of media.
