the IPIE found “powerful actors” like governments, political parties and corporations are often behind misleading climate information

[butters]

Misleading information about the nature of climate change is further complicating and delaying action to fight the environmental issue, according to a new research report.

A sprawling report

“The result is a decline in public trust, diminished policy coordination, and a feedback loop between scientific denialism and political inaction,” the coalition of researchers wrote in the 127-page report.

Researchers noted denial has long threatened the flow of climate science information, but attempts to discredit or delegitimize climate science have started dominating the anti-climate science campaigns.

“When the evidence produced by climate science is disregarded, circumvented or undermined, public trust suffers,” the report stated.

Scientific consensus on climate change is also frequently misrepresented in the media, further complicating the information ecosystem, the IPIE said. The report noted social media has become “key public carriers of information about climate change.”

tell us something we didn't know

If only the government would stop publishing misinformation about things like where Covid came from, a bird flu non pandemic which required slaughtering flocks of chickens and raising egg prices, and climate change.

oh look, Derpy wants to re-litigate Covid AND climate change, because there's no sense in putting out a house engulfed in flames until you know EXACTLY what caused it.

Derp derp derp.

It was not designed in a laboratory, at any rate.

If only the government would stop publishing misinformation about . . . climate change.

The government never did that except under Trump's administration.

Derpy derped…again…



The only time “the government” published misinformation about where Covid came from, was during the Trump administration 1.0. & 2.0. The current best guess is that Covid WAS naturally occurring in an animal / animals at the Wet Market in Wuhan.

, a bird flu non pandemic which required slaughtering flocks of chickens and raising egg prices

The bird flu WAS / IS a pandemic - in the BIRD population. The choice to slaughter sick animals to protect the flock (or herd) has been going on FOREVER.

, and climate change.

Climate change IS a crisis that is being exacerbated by DonOld & corporations who are not only failing to address it adequately, but are also LYING about the KNOWN causes & consequences.





Hope that ^ helps.
