Meteorologists face vicious misinformation campaign on climate crisis.

Climate crisis deniers have been targeting UK's top scientists with abusive comments on Twitter since Elon Musk took over the platform last year. Scientists say that the change has been stark, and they are fighting to make themselves heard over a "barrage" of often hostile comments. Twitter's sustainability arm has vanished, and several users with millions of followers who propagate false statements about the climate emergency have had their accounts reinstated. A survey of 468 international climate scientists found that prominent scientists were the most likely to face abuse, with half of those who had published at least 10 papers reporting they had suffered online harassment as a result of their climate work.
