CO2 in the atmosphere just exceeded 415ppm for the first time in human history
&gt; an army of lobbyists and media companies to push the hoax&#x2F;not-our-problem-narrative<p>I&#x27;ve noticed on most of the climate change posts on HN that they 1. fall off the front page very quickly (due to systemic flagging?) and 2. every single comment that&#x27;s pro-fighting-climate-change has a &quot;skeptical&quot; reply that hits all the denier FUD talking points. For example, your comment has a reply saying both sides exaggerate, thus muddying the point you&#x27;re trying to make. Classic whataboutism talking point.<p>What I don&#x27;t understand is if HN mods see this going on and can tell if the person is a shill or an actual climate denier. Statistically, replies in these threads should skew heavily towards pro-fighting-climate-change, but even in this post, it seems like every other reply is denier talking points. It is really starting to make me think that HN doesn&#x27;t care about stopping shills.
