Skeptical ScienceWe're constantly seeking to make our #ClimateMythDebunking tools easier to pick up and use.
Youtube comments (where heated ''debate'' over #ChangeChange is often found) present a special challenge. Often it's helpful to cite a source on the web, but links to other places are swiftly removed by Youtube (you're never supposed to leave).
Baerbel Winkler has created Youtube videos consisting of chapters each covering a particular myth as treated in our collaborations with Gigafact. A short url will take a viewer directly to the item in play.
Learn about how to use these in our post.
Making fact briefs available as videos on Youtube
Skeptical Science is partnering with Gigafact to produce fact briefs — bite-sized fact checks of trending harmfully misleading claims, produced primarily for use by thinly-resourced newswrooms but also directly available to the general public. We announced this (renewed) collaboration in April 2024 in a blog post and have published more than 30 new fact briefs since then. Each fact brief comes with a unique and short URL which is ideal to use when linking to it. A screenshot of each fact brief is also available as a 'share graphic' and you can access all of them via a link like this one: https://skepticalscience.com/pics/FactBrief-1970s-ShareGraphic.jpg. You only need to use the relevant 'code' which you can identify in the list of all published fact briefs:
