Climate change deniers are dangerous - they don't deserve a place on our site"At The Conversation Australia we’ve recently vowed to improve our climate change coverage, and part of that means moderating comments with a similar degree of rigour.
...But it’s 2019, and now we know better.
Climate change deniers, and those shamelessly peddling pseudoscience and misinformation, are perpetuating ideas that will ultimately destroy the planet. ...That’s why the editorial team in Australia is implementing a zero-tolerance approach to moderating climate change deniers, and sceptics.
Not only will we be removing their comments, we’ll be locking their accounts.
...It is counter productive to present the evidence and then immediately undermine it by giving space to trolls.
The hopeless debates between those with evidence and those who fabricate simply stalls action.
As a reader, author or commenter, we need your help.
If you see something that is misinformation, please don’t engage, simply report it.

We know you want to have constructive positive discussions, so please don’t engage with the climate change deniers.
Dob them in and help us create a space where they don’t derail the conversation."
