“Canada is entering an era where #ClimateMisinformation is becoming a public-safety threat. As wildfires, floods and droughts grow more frequent, emergency systems rely on one fragile assumption: that people believe the information they receive.”

Climate misinformation turning crisis into catastrophe, report says
#Falseclaims obstructing climate action, say researchers, amid calls for climate lies to be criminalised
Damian Carrington Environment editor
Rampant #climatemisinformation is turning the crisis into a catastrophe, according to the authors of a new report.
Measures to fight #climatemisinformation include regulation to improve the moderation of content by social media companies, as with the EU Digital Services Act, and requiring fossil fuel companies to make standardised declarations of their emissions. Jensen said some legal cases against purveyors of climate #misinformation were already under way. In the longer term, improved climate education would enable citizens to identify misinformation.

Colour me surprised.
“KICLEI (‘Kicking International Council out of Local Environmental Initiatives’) was founded in 2023 by #FreedomConvoy activist Maggie Hope Braun with a singular aim: to convince towns and cities to quit the voluntary net-zero program Partners for Climate Protection, due to its ties to the UN through its co-organizer, ICLEI Canada.”
Internal instructions accessed by Canada’s National Observer show that the chatbot produces tailored scripts, petitions, reports and even speeches for council chambers. The messaging is all framed to resonate with municipal officials’ duty to represent local interests. The chatbot drops the cost of misinformation to "close to zero."
" #SkepticalScience offer in-depth analyses of specific claims.
The #SIFT method is another valuable tool. It comprises four steps:
Stop
Investigate the source
Find better coverage
Trace claims, quotes and media to their original sources."
