The article submitted for WorldTruth.tv was a rehash on an old viral scare from a couple years back about the pacific ocean “dying.”
Our issue with this story is that, with the exception of 1 link about Chernobyl, all of the source links point to fear-mongering www.enenews.com, a site that focus solely on questionable conclusions from questionable science. Most of the “scientific evidence” presented in this article was already disproved. You can read a nice collection of the debunking on Metabunk.com.
On the surface, worldtruth.tv appears to be more alarmist conspiracies than satirical comedy — or actual credible scientific facts. If you share something from WorldTruth, you should probably make sure your scientist buddies read it first.
The ruling: Neither real nor satire. Just . . . questionable.
UPDATE: Looking on WT.TV’s Facebook Page, they did fall for the Facebook Disclaimer hoax, the one that rears its ugly head every now and again.
