Notes
In 2019, CNN hosted a Climate Crisis Town Hall. In the days after, Bot Sentinel a platform to identify Twitter accounts behaving as trolls or propaganda bots, saw an unusual spike of the words “climate change” in these trollbot accounts. Insideclimatenews.org wrote an article on these troll attacks towards climate scientists and activists (Lavelle, 2019). This poem explores the objective of these bots: our ballot.
