Lee McIntyre, a research fellow at the Center for Philosophy and History of Science at Boston University and misinformation expert

You know, I’m not even going to dispute that. I’m sure Lee is an expert in misinformation.

Funny how they’re all about promoting “independent thought” in young people right up until the moment a few of them come to a different conclusion.

His Twitter bio:

Philosopher, martial artist, dog lover. Author of ON DISINFORMATION: HOW TO FIGHT FOR TRUTH AND PROTECT DEMOCRACY

That says it all. Whenever they talk about 'democracy', they mean their autocracy.

He probably is, considering he's already admitted to engaging in beastiality.

They're not being duped. They're smart. The folks eating tide pods and cutting off their genitals know exactly what they're doing, they are following THE SCIENCE.

Never forget that the entire Tide Pod thing only happened because adults saw the colorful thing and then assumed kids are so stupid they'd probably eat it, despite having almost no actual cases of that happening for the years they'd existed.

Which lead to massive coverage and talk about it, basically meme'ing it into existence until more (young) adults started eating them as a joke.

Kinda like how Nintendo puts bitterants on Switch cartridges to dissuade toddlers from eating them, but most people only found out about it because game journos were the ones putting game carts in their mouths and writing articles about it.

No they don't. You're conflating looking at statistical data from a hundred years ago that was measured by archaic thermometers and buckets, by a different international organization.

NOAA's temperature records are the temperature records. They don't need to alter anything because they have the weather data. The literally daily temperatures.

At this point anyone can easily see hundreds of alarmist predictions have failed to come true. The internet is forever.
