Me and a few other climate folks on Twitter have noticed a very clear new prominence of climate deniers and delayers

So with some help, I gathered up some data and checked - it turns out that denial/delay, pro-fossil disinformation accounts have seen massive growth in their audience, while pro-climate-action accounts have either stagnated or shrunk.

Elon Musk is reshaping Twitter into a safe space for right-wingers, and in doing so, empowering climate change deniers, delayers and pro-fossil advocates more than ever before.

@ketan Hard to think this matters at all. The hard right are hard-core anyway, about everything - and never, ever change their minds.

Everybody else is somewhat normal and persuadable. And as the evidence mounts, they will see it.
