I am physicist and saw disinformation like that on youtube. It was made up like a science channel. Charts, Latin terms, images, even white lab coats. But completely fake. It felt like somebody was pulling a rug under my feet. And I knew for 100% sure it was bullshit because it claimed that the temperature effect of climate change would be strongest in the tropics, not in higher latitudes as is the case.
