    Climate change is...

    This is not a thread about climate change.

    On the recent Netflix doco about the evils of social media they claimed that the google search suggestions are linked in to your location and how much they know about you and where you stand politically.

    So show us how well Google knows you. Type 'climate change is' into Google, PrntScrn, paste into Paint and crop out all your cheerleader pron tabs.

    Apart from the last suggestion I'm looking like quite a normie.
    Some people think it don't, but it be.

    I never Google stuff about climate change and almost never read stuff on the internet about it but I'm sure Google try very hard to find out as much about internetters as they can including using IP addresses to indicate a location.

    Here are five screenshots of results I got by by using five different IP addresses (five different countries).

    Strange, every time I enter the words 'climate change', I get suggestions about 'golden showers'....

    Climate protesters demand bowl to ‘urinate and defecate’ after gluing themselves to floor
    news.com.au
    21 Oct, 2022



    Climate protesters who glued themselves to the floor of a Volkswagen showroom in Germany need to use the toilet – but now complain the company has refused to provide the group with “a bowl to urinate and defecate” in.

    Gianluca Grimalda, a researcher with the Kiel Institute think tank and member of climate protest group Scientist Rebellion, posted on Twitter on Wednesday that 15 people had “occupied the Porsche pavilion” at the Autostadt museum adjoining the carmaker’s factory in Wolfsburg.

    “[Volkswagen] told us that they supported our right to protest, but they refused our request to provide us with a bowl to urinate and defecate in a decent manner while we are glued, and have turned off the heating.”

    Grimalda’s post generated little sympathy online.
