I had no idea my electricity bill is a russian disinformation. Do you guys think I could not pay it?
At this point there is nothing russia isn’t responsible for…
Shocker
Wow Polish right wingers are Russian bots… no way
Yeah, Russians bots are everywhere and plenty of (especially older) people are manipulated.
Russia is responsible even for the KPO shitstorm.
Doesn’t matter anyway, those that are on the denial train will just call this for what they think it is…the ‘left’ attacking them.
Regardless of proof. Regardless of reality. Regardless of anything anyone can / will say to them.
I was curious how they reached that conclusion, expecting the usual botometer-junk-science. The first curiosity is that this article, which doesn’t link to any sources, is from August 13, but the report it refers to was published way back in January.
Pages 69-72 it says. On those pages: The same claim
>Russia is intensifying its disinformation campaigns regarding the climate crisis. … From May 2022 to May 2024, Russia was the main source of communication in online discussions about green energy on social media and news sites.
but hardly any background on methodology, how they defined “disinformation”, how they attempted to measure it, how they attributed it to Russia. A page later they at least mention two concrete channels
>It is known that RT (Russia Today) and Sputnik are channels used to spread climate disinformation in Poland and the European Union. The scale of these media outlets’ activities in the area of climate denial can be considered massive.
and several “main methods of disinformation”, all of which have forever been part of political discourse in democratic societies, like
>making accusations against the scientific community;
(yes, science is not religion, that’s a good thing),
>engaging politicians as climate experts while simultaneously ignoring the opinions of experts dealing with this issue
(yes, in democracies not only board-certified *experts* have a voice on expert matters, that’s another good thing) or
>”blame-seeking” – shifting responsibility onto other entities and institutions, e.g., for negligence related to the energy transition.
Under the latter definition, any deviation from certain dogmas, in particular voices critical of the government, can be labelled as “disinformation”.
Cows don’t give milk and hens don’t lay eggs anymore – it’s all Russians’ fault!
Russia is still mad they failed in taking over Poland.
This sub is blaming russia for literally anything. Bad weather. Ukrainian nationalists. Polish nationalists. German nationalists. American nationalists. Fake news. Bad news. Sounds like an easy scapegoat instead of debating the real issues at hand.
Big surprise – country which exports a lot of coal and oil wants Poland to keep using coal and oil. That part isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that people today fall for this social media slop.
