For example, recent analysis shows there have been more tweets and retweets “using climate-sceptic terminology” in 2022 than in any other year since Twitter’s founding in 2006. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/climate-sceptic-tweets-surge-after-musks-twitter-takeover-5mtvnwqzb https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/5/23494220/elon-musk-twitter-climate-misinformation-rise-analysis https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2022-12-08/covid-misinformation-spiking-on-twitter-elon-musk/101742276
