Social Media Channels
You can find and follow us on these social media platforms:
 |
Bluesky |
We are not quite as active on Bluesky as we'd like to be but we increased the number of followers from somewhat over 4,800 followers to over 6,000 as of December 2025. There's a constant trickle of new followers and sometimes a bigger influx when our handle gets shared by others. We hope to post as regularly as possible on Bluesky in 2026.

Our Facebook page has been around for many years and as of December 2025 has about 172,000 followers. We try to share between 3 and 5 articles per day there, selecting content focusing on climate science research or combatting misinformation. We also put together a series of weekly postings, sharing one updated rebuttal (see above) each Tuesday. In case you are wondering why we are still active on Facebook, the blog post A conundrum: our continued presence on Facebook provides our reasoning for the decision.

In December 2023, we decided to set up our own page on LinkedIn as we noticed that there has been a steady increase of climate-related discussions on the platform and that sharing information from there can be quite effective. Here is the link to our welcome post from where - if you have your own account on LinkedIn - you can start following us and join the other 1,080+ followers we have there.
 |
Mastodon |
Our presence on Mastodon - where you can find us on the scicomm.xyz instance "tooting" as @SkepticalScience - is evolving quite nicely and we have about 3,200 followers there as of December 2023.
 |
MeWe |
MeWe apparently got a "facelift" without us even noticing because there hadn't been any activity on the platform for months. It's therefore still rather likely, that we'll close shop and exit the platform in the not too distant future.
 |
X/Twitter |
On X/Twitter we still have ca. 20,600 followers, but - as we dislike what XTwitter has become - we let our account go dormant with no longer posting there and only use it to keep an eye on things every now and then.
 |
Youtube |
The Skeptical Science Youtube-channel is run by John Cook and for example features videos and playlists about critical thinking, countering climate misinformation, the Cranky Uncle game and the Cranky Uncle book.
