This paper has used a netnographic data collection and content analysis to analyze a thread on climate change on the Swedish debate forum Flashback Forum. Using theories on different forms of confirmation bias, mis- and disinformation, propaganda, and different kinds of climate debaters. The paper aimed to find out what kind of climate debaters where identified, what arguments were used, what sources they used and if there is any possibility to identify confirmation bias. Results showed that there were different kinds of climate debaters and in this paper two more groups have been identified. There is also a low use of sources, and they are of poor quality. There is also evidence of confirmation bias in the source material, mainly in the of the kind described as trench ware fare dynamics.
