President Joe Biden’s top adviser on environmental issues called on technology companies to censor debates on environmental issues and energy policy during a Thursday event.
“The tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation,” White House National Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy, a former EPA Administrator, said during a virtual event, according to Axios. “We need the tech companies to really jump in.”
McCarthy complained about opposition to certain environmental policies, blaming fossil fuel companies for delaying action to address climate change over the years during the event.

Last year, Google announced that videos with content that “contradicts well-established scientific consensus around the existence and causes of climate change” would be demonetized. Facebook and Twitter also took steps to fight supposed “misinformation” on environmental issues.
“Now it has moved from denial, but the dark money is still there,” McCarthy said during the Axios event. “The fossil fuel companies are still basically trying their best to make sure that people don’t understand the challenge of climate.”
The Biden administration canceled offshore oil and gas leases in May, imposed new regulations on onshore drilling in April and revoked a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline in January 2021. The administration admitted Tuesday that energy prices will still be at a historic high.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Daily Caller News Foundation.

We are now experiencing the short term consequences of the bogus man made climate change hoax. It is estimated by energy experts that the full implementation of the leftists dreams of ending dependency on fossil fuels will result in the shortening of billions of lives worldwide. This is just another crime against humanity. Something that is becoming commonplace with the leftists around the world. Pu.
Well, this is another straw on the camel’s back. Those platforms, in their desperation to appease the degenerate and jealous, have been bleeding themselves to death, losing stock value and surveillance-susceptible clients to mine data from. Thanks to that, I’ve learned about Gab and Odysee, among other alternatives (and I’m considering changing my web hosting provider while I’m at it).
They won’t completely die, I’m sure, but this ought to help break up their undue and excessive power.
