We've found a ‘vaccine’ for fake news. Wait! No, we really are Cambridge researchers

Re: Real fake or fake fake?

Yup, welcome to life behind the irony curtain.

I notice that other reports of this 'news' (ie. Yahoo!, Phys.org) focus on what they call "the reality of Climate Change". They suggest inoculating people against the Global Warming Petition Project by telling them "many of the 31,000 signatories to the petition were fake, with names such as Charles Darwin and members of the Spice Girls cropping up". This is itself false.

Also, no reporters of this 'news' (including El Reg) carry any links to the original research. Just sayin'.
