The Climate Censors

Facebook censors my video, calling it “partly false.”

Before Facebook censored it, my video, “Are We Doomed”, got more 24 million views.

Now Facebook won't show it to many people — not even to my subscribers. Facebook's also punishing Stossel TV by showing our other videos less.

All because Facebook foolishly gave Emmanuel Vincent, a recent PhD graduate from France, the power to censor.

What facts did the “fact-checkers” correct? NONE! There was not a single hard fact that in the video that was wrong.

I asked one Vincent “reviewer,” the only one willing to be interviewed, why I deserve censorship even though our facts were correct.

“The problem is the omission of contextual information rather than specific "facts" being "wrong,”" says Patrick Brown, Assistant Professor at San Jose State University.

Some “fact-check."

“What kills me,” I complain to Brown, “is that when Climate Feedback rates me partly false, that significantly reduces the number of people who see it -- and see my other videos. So this is really important to me that it be done fairly.”

“I am sympathetic with what you're saying,” he responds. “At the same time as a
consumer of information, I like the idea of having some type of system where content can be compared to what experts think.”

But Facebook’s choice of "experts" is absurd.

Emmanuel Vincent proudly says “all the climate scientists that I know personally agree that climate change is real, that it’s serious, and we can do something about it.”

Well, of course climate change is real! But how serious a threat it is, and whether we can do much about it with today’s technology deserves debate. Victor’s little group STOPS debate.

Remarkably, Facebook lets them.

Watch the video above and decide for yourself.

Science begs to be questioned... it glories in it. Propaganda, not so much.

_"Your science is partly false."_
"What's false about it?"
_"Well, your facts are correct, but it's not put into_ context."
"We put it all in context. What are you saying is out of context?"
_"It's not that it's out of context, it's your_ tone."
"What about my other video?"
_"We don't know, we didn't watch it."_
"Why are you doing this?"
_"Well, we need some control over what people see."_

It’s all agenda-based. Never been about science.

[doughaug]

A brilliant physicist commented that "I would rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that can't be questioned" Science is all about questioning things.

This was the ONE guy who would actually talk. Imagine how bad the rest of that panel is.

[MollyMaidParkCities]

Props to the guy for doing an interview

[TheItchyDanil]

I have this crazy idea. We should have this worldwide forum where people can share their ideas and we can find what the best idea is through meaningful discussion.

Anyone who says "dont question the science!" isnt a real scientist

Bravo John Stossel.

"I guess it was just the tone of it."
- The FACT checker

[billyl]

Well the ones he knows personally... says it all

[MrChosenmarine]

"the time for debate is over" is what dictators say, not scientists

[nickolson]

Patrick Brown deserves a lot of credit for agreeing to be interviewed and for being open about his opinions and reasoning. And kudos to John Stossel for having him on and engaging him in dialogue.

[philippeterson]

When you hear somebody say “Follow The Science”, they are usually talking about political science.

We don’t need mommy n daddy to keep us from seeing “misinformation”. Let us see everything and form our own opinion. “Policing misinformation” is code for controlling the narrative.

[Sgt_SealCluber]

"Policing Information" That is what we call Tyranny, Authoritarianism, and a violation of the 1st Amendment.

[EMedNation]

Stossels content should not be censored. He is an excellent reporter and newscaster.

ANNDDD Youtube puts a "Context" card about climate change at the bottom on this video. That's just golden.
