What is climate misinformation, and why does it matter?
Misinformation about fossil fuel emissions and climate change, including tactics like greenwashing and astroturfing, influences efforts to tackle climate change. Major companies and organizations have been accused of discrediting climate science. Misinformation is spread through media outlets, politicians, and social media, often using manipulated content. Advocacy groups and international organizations are working to counter climate misinformation and promote accurate information.
