I was already expecting to give it a 3 star rating, given that the climate denial label "disinform" has picked up its fair share of disapplication, in this case groups trying to appeal to the voters and running ads that benefit from the way our food gets to us. But rather than block a certain climate change skeptic site surely funded by if not explicitly by such an enterprise, all included in the list are mainstream right of Stalin sites like WSJ and Harper Collins that even propagate Howard Zinn's A People's History of America. While technically sound apart from not allowing adding sites, this is pure disinformation.

This extension is INVALUABLE for those with a CONSCIENCE and a must for RESPONSIBLE CRITICAL THINKERS. FACTS & SCIENCE matter... NOW especially... and more than ever before. To knowingly support BUSINESSES, ORGANIZATIONS & LEADERSHIP with ANTI-SCIENCE agendas is UNCONSCIONABLE at this critical time for our planet!🌎 "Climate Block" is a great tool, helpful even to those who do their homework, already aware of the big players, known for propagating MISINFORMATION. You provide me with an additional layer of defense. Thanks so much!🙏
