Climate science and reporting are vital to understanding how our climate is changing and what we can do about it. But false information about climate change spread online is causing big problems. It鈥檚 no longer just about saying that climate change isn't happening; it鈥檚 increasingly about spreading uncertainty about its causes, its speed and the solutions. That鈥檚 making climate misinformation and disinformation harder to spot - and more divisive.
Host Jordan Dunbar is joined by Jacqui Wakefield, global disinformation reporter with the 大象传媒 World Service and guests Marco Silva, climate disinformation journalist at 大象传媒 Verify and Prof Michael E Mann, climatologist and director of the Center for Science, Sustainability and the Media at the University of Pennsylvania.
