<p>A British leftist group calling itself the Center for Countering Digital Hate has issued a report on what it calls the &#8220;Toxic Ten,&#8221; which are so-called fringe websites spreading &#8220;climate change denial.&#8221; The ten include our group, the Media Research Center, as well as Breitbart, The Daily Wire, Townhall Media, Newsmax, The Washington Times and The Western Journal.</p>
<p>So, any challenge to Greenpeace climate-crackdown orthodoxy is now classified as &#8220;toxic&#8221; and &#8220;digital hate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Their solution? To press Facebook and Google to &#8220;stop monetizing&#8221; these conservative sites, stop allowing them to buy ads and to &#8220;comprehensively label&#8221; their climate reporting as misinformation. You don&#8217;t have to prove conservatives wrong. Just &#8220;comprehensively label&#8221; them as false.</p>
<p>Once again, the left wants to win debates by stopping any debate from happening. The founder of this &#8220;Digital Hate&#8221; squad is a man named Imran Ahmed, who previously co-authored the book &#8220;The New Serfdom: The Triumph of Conservative Ideas and How to Defeat Them,&#8221; with Angela Eagle, a Labour Party member of Parliament.</p>
<p>Ahmed can already count on jihad from the &#8220;objective media.&#8221; Their British socialist friends at The Guardian awarded their report with the headline &#8220;&#8216;Super polluters&#8217;: the top 10 publishers denying the climate crisis on Facebook.&#8221;</p>
<p>Offering any criticism of climate panic (and climate policy) is &#8220;super polluting.&#8221; Does this sound like science, or does it sound like political hyperbole? Naturally, Ahmed told The Guardian, &#8220;big tech is once again on the wrong side of science, truth and human progress.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Washington Post also provided a pliant piece headlined &#8220;Breitbart has outsized influence over climate change denial on Facebook, report says.&#8221; Tech reporter Cat Zakrzewski warned, &#8220;The far-right news and commentary site is one of just 10 publishers responsible for nearly 70 percent of interactions with climate change denial content on Facebook.&#8221;</p>
<p>On Twitter, Zakrzewski gushed, &#8220;The nonprofit has been effective in drawing policymakers&#8217; attention to falsehoods on social media, as it did with its &#8216;disinformation dozen&#8217; report earlier this year.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Post reporter avoided any evidence of &#8220;falsehoods&#8221; by engaging with conservative articles. She blithely wrote that, &#8220;For years, Facebook has faced pressure to issue a broad ban on climate misinformation,&#8221; and that somehow doesn&#8217;t strike her as distasteful censorship.</p>
<p>My column on ClimateDepot founder Marc Morano&#8217;s book &#8220;Green Fraud&#8221; was pictured under the Daily Wire section of the report. The MRC section is illustrated with a Joseph Vazquez article on NewsBusters about &#8230; Marc Morano. He&#8217;s apparently Digital Hater No. 1.</p>
<p>In my Morano column, I noted that the climate panic lobby is never held accountable for failed predictions of doom from decades ago. In one PBS series called &#8220;Race to Save the Planet,&#8221; Meryl Streep claimed, &#8220;By the year 2000 — that&#8217;s less than 10 years away — the earth&#8217;s climate will be warmer than it&#8217;s been in over 100,000 years. If we don&#8217;t do something, there&#8217;ll be enormous calamities in a very short time.&#8221;</p>
<p>In 2021, that can be defined as climate misinformation.</p>
<p>But panic helps Democrats sell a crackdown. The Post story quoted Sen. Sheldon &#8220;Whites Only&#8221; Whitehouse complaining, &#8220;Facebook and other social media companies make money when they send users down rabbit holes of climate change denial. That&#8217;s a very dangerous business model for the future of the planet.&#8221;</p>
<p>Apparently, the &#8220;business model&#8221; is this: Only the leftists get to talk on climate policy; everyone else should be suppressed. No one is allowed to question the failed predictions and overwrought &#8220;solutions&#8221; of climate experts like Greta Thunberg and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.</p>
<p>The Washington Post should embrace their business model with the slogan &#8220;Climate Democracy Dies in Darkness.&#8221;</p>
