‘Just this year…Watters called global warming “corporate propaganda” and “a ruse,” said efforts to reduce emissions were “just a ploy” to get people “to buy more stuff the Democrats are selling,” and claimed that “certain parts of the world will get a tiny bit warmer, but the United States will do just fine.”’

Conspiracy nutter Watters suggested on air ‘that environmental groups advocating for increased investment in renewable energy “are taking dirty Russian money … to scare Americans out of fracking and energy exploration.”

‘He also helped to fuel unsubstantiated rumors being pushed by Republican lawmakers who say that offshore wind farms along the U.S. East Coast—none of which have actually been built yet—are responsible for an uptick of recent whale deaths.’

#Bidenadministration urges #BigTech to ramp up #censorship of what they consider #climatemisinformation

Skeptical Science founder John Cook turned out of bed in Melbourne Australia at 3a today to deliver testimony about climate misinformation on social media, to the EU Parliament's "Special Committee on foreign interference in all democratic processes in the European Union, including disinformation."

The session includes many experts, is a one-stop shop for information.

John's segment begins at 16:35:12.

Take a guess on the answer. 🙂

Not OA but the payload is in the abstract. Most of us must trust, not verify.

I think it's actually more the other direction. We have #ClimateDeniers because the Koch brothers (and many others in power who benefit from #FossilFuels) profit off their beliefs.

The majority of climate deniers don't benefit from this system. While they swallow the ideologically salted #ClimateMisinformation, I find it increasingly hard to blame anyone other than the companies investing huge sums of money to produce the #disinformation.

Ohne Worte. "Was Exxon Mobil über die Erderwärmung wusste" -- und Jahrzehnte leugnete.

... is ExxonMobil contributed to a myth that "global cooling" was pushed by the majority of scientists in the 1970s. This in 2023 is still one of the most common #climatemisinformation narratives I see online.

"We argue that scholars have for too long failed to account for the political activities of trade associations, which are also one of the most important opponents of climate policies."

Wish it was #OpenAccess (no, reprint requests don't scale and are an impractical hack).

How can we make progress on climate action when papers, like the Daily Mail, celebrate a coal mine opening?

The answer? Stop funding it ✊

Brands like Asda who appear on the same page, must ask themselves; is funding this ⬇️ in line with your own sustainability goals?

The Sun ⬇️

When seen in light of decades of opposition to renewable energy, stories like this feel pretty bad.

Lidl, Specsavers, Vodafone, Morrisons, Three and William Hill funded this.

It's time to #StopFundingHeat

This is a great read from @emorwee and Michael Thomas.

It’s critical to shine a spotlight on the forces at play attempting to keep business as usual as long as possible.

"A climate denial group is trying to turn public opinion against clean energy by disguising their agenda as pro-environment."

A bit boring though➡️ straight out of the delay playbook; climate solutions won't work - policy harms environment 🙄

Despite delay, distract and diffuse tactics, awareness of the #ClimateCrisis and the impact it has on many of our other crises keeps growing—I argue in my latest comment on #ORFExpertSpeak https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/the-delay-and-diffuse-tactics-of-climate-misinformation/

Would love to hear if people see similar patterns or if I missed elements that deserve more attention. 🙏💚 #ClimateMisinformation #FeedbackWelcome
