Citing the latest assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), social media giant Twitter has announced that it will prohibit misleading advertisements on climate change.

By misleading, Twitter means ads that “contradict” the scientific consensus on climate change. This decision, Twitter said, is in line with its inappropriate content policy, which deals with prohibiting ads that contain inappropriate content.

Twitter’s announcement on Friday–coinciding with Earth Day–is part of an attempt to curb climate change disinformation campaigns on its network.

Thanks to the Associated Press for letting me use some of their footage!

It has stated it will use the work of respected bodies such as the IPCC to gauge what qualifies as climate denial
