How did you compile this 14 min after the article was posted?

That account copypastes it into climate threads: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30258365 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27447861

Is there a way to flag accounts that copypaste talking points into these kinds of topics?

Click the post's timestamp and tap "flag" and/or email concerns to hn@ycombinator.com.

I know about flagging posts, and that account's posts of this guff have been flagged before.

I asked about flagging accounts

Then the second half of my response gave you the answer.

"Quick! How do we shut this down!? The narrative must be preserved!"

You "flood the zone with crap" to shut it down. And that's what's happening. The above coppypasta is a prime example.

Yes. It is called a “downvote”

Meanwhile I got 27 up votes.

Pitch in, accordingly to your needs.

Why are you conveniently ignoring everyone asking you for sources?

And maintained by me, an avid reader of printed newspapers to this day.

I'd love to see copies/scans of all of these articles. That would make for fascinating reading.

Yeah, probably should do a web page containing all these news snippets.

It's mostly copy-pasted from this article:

https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2019/09/20/nolte-clima...

Like it was pre-prepared. Climate change articles get quickly jumped on here with energetic negativity and are often flagged out. It's fascinating to watch; but a sign of a healthy debate, it is not.

Lived in Los Angeles Greater Area pretty much most of my life.

Still get that newspaper delivered to my doorstep from way over there.

Yeah, I am skeptical.
