Did these bots come from the future to inform humanity?

Says the “climate alarmist” rag guardian.

But is this article written by a bot? we just don't know anymore

I seriously think this 'bot' bullshit is for the left to shut down free speech again.

This is FakeNews. There are no social bots on Twitter. Scientific research showed, that all those publications and tools could not even identify and verify a single social bot. Sad that the accepts being abused this way.

I've yet to find a 'bot' account.

the guardian being the guardian: only the denial messages are made by bots ... how about the rest? to believers dont have any bots? wtf...

Just to be clear, this refers to climate crisis denial tweets

Twitter don't care.
