Somebody wrote a program that tells misinformed twitterers when they are wrong.
Every five minutes it searches the tweeterverse for twits containing false information about global warming, then replies to the user, correcting them, and providing a legitimate source.
For instance
"When someone recently tweeted that "First the Earth goes through #GlobalWarming and #GlobalCooling. Its a natural climatic cycle and contributes to natural selection." Leck's chatbot responded "Ancient natural cycles r irrelevant 4 attributing recent global warming 2 humans" and referenced a detailed discussion of the differences between current global warming and natural heat variations."
If a computer code can tell you that you are wrong, and provide legitimate evidence against your statement, you should not be allowed to share your opinions.
I hope this type of code gets expanded to the entire internet such that it becomes impossible to post any non-factual information anywhere ever. That would be awesome.
