- dexen 7y agoYou fact-checked a meme. That's more befitting Snopes[1] than serious HN discussion. Thus my joking response - mirroring your post's form & logic, and yet arriving at the opposite result. Essentially me lampooning your position "factually wrong but morally right"[2], as the (UN environmental official's) quote turned out to be factually wrong. I will stick to the "> The fact that we are seeing the same headlines for many years now should have been an obvious giveaway" part tho. -- [1] https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-fact-checker-declares-war-on-satire-11566428259 https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-fact-checker-declares-war-on-...
