Horrible people want to discuss upper tropospheric warming or their electricity bills and we can't have that.

Careless discussion of such like, or radiosondes, cannot be permitted. Rest assured, the World Health Organization (the WHO) are here to save you from accidentally hearing any climate debates. Average voters must be shielded from climate disinformation, lest they forget to vote correctly, sorry, I mean, forget to leave burning buildings.  Because that could happen to anyone, right?

The WHO (why are we still members) have produced a report titled 'Protecting Health in the Age of Climate Disinformation'. It is said to be the 'first instance of the health community addressing how climate disinformation harms'. This follows on from the EU declaring they would crack down on fake news, and conspiracy theories at the last COP meeting in Brazil.

The WHO has hauled out the linguistic artillery. Those who wield "climate disinformation" are not just shills of big oil, they  are a "hybrid weapon of war" and a growing "public health threat". (Don't you feel important?)

Now obviously, if people are a public health threat, we can't just let them wander around talking to any unguarded voters can we? Same, same, for those naughty weapons of war. What if people like that got loose on the radio?

It's seems pretty obvious where they want this to go. You don't just casually declare your debating opponents are a hybrid weapon of war and shake hands. Right now they are 'only' calling for member states to "recognize" climate misinformation as a public health threat. But we all know where this goes. Sooner or later Public Health threats get put in jail or at least a padded cell (for their own good).

At this stage the press release recommends that health agencies strengthen climate-health infodemic management and help governments identify and respond to harmful information narratives.

Perhaps a nice government will just take their computer away, or their digital ID and block them from social media?

The WHO has just effectively admitted that it's losing the public climate debate — why else would they need to label any dissent as a threat?

'Hybrid weapon of war': Why climate disinformation could be a growing public health threat

By Liam Gilliver, EuroNews

"Climate disinformation is not only a problem of false rumours and mistruths; it is also a problem of power, incentives and accountability."

WHO member states are being urged to recognise climate disinformation as a public health threat as vested interests attempt to "sow doubt and confusion".

Health and civil society organisations have called on 194 countries to make information integrity a core part of climate and health policy, preparedness and response.
