UK scientists discuss urgent strategies to tackle climate misinformation

21 nov. 2023 Hi-network.com

In a recent roundtable led by Angela McLean, the UK Government's Chief Scientific Adviser, experts addressed the escalating challenge of climate misinformation. The discussion emphasized that while the UK media has progressed beyond presenting a false balance on climate change and climate science denial is no longer a significant concern, challenges related to misinformation still exist, particularly in discussions about climate solutions.

With a focus on AI's role in spreading misinformation, the roundtable called for multi-disciplinary interventions and public dialogue to counteract the distortion of climate discussions. The meeting included critical figures from science, academia, and policy, emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to navigate the complex landscape of misinformation and promote trust and informed public decision-making.

Why does it matter?

The roundtable's timing is particularly important as climate conspiracy theories gain traction, with lifestyle influencers exacerbating the surge in misinformation, intensifying the pressure on leaders convening at the COP28 summit. The UN has warned that misinformation about the climate emergency impedes urgent action for a sustainable future. While the roundtable has solidified crucial takeaways, their transformation into tangible actions becomes imperative.
