Climate Mis- and Disinformation Are Shaping Discourse & Opposition To Renewables

Do you ever wonder why so many people just don’t get how severe the climate crisis is? One big reason why is because Big Tech companies are fostering climate mis- and dis-information. The blatant hypocrisy is taking place even as our world is on a precipice where a single degree more of average warming will be devastating to humanity and ecosystems. It’s become clear: core social media narratives shaping discourse around the climate crisis have persistent “stickiness” of mis- and dis-information, influencing people to disregard the danger of fossil fuels.
