Mastodon users praise factcheck while doubting persuasive power

A Mastodon user characterized the Carbon Brief factcheck as an "excellent refutation" but expressed skepticism about its ability to change minds among Reform UK's core supporters, suggesting it might only persuade "waverers."
“Excellent refutation of Reform UK'S climate stance. Unfortunately facts don't matter to their diehard base, but this might persuade waverers.”
