Liars and blockers: The rising threat of climate disinformation and misinformation
Description
A panel-pod on the scourge of climate disinformation and misinformation - "the firehose of falsehoods" as one panellist poetically puts it!
We need to understand which groups are running climate change disinformation and misinformation campaigns - and who is funding them - if we are to make progress.
"We don't need to change the minds of everyone in society to get climate action - we just need to activate enough people!"
Featuring three people involved in a landmark new book called Climate Obstruction - A Global Assessment - out from Oxford University Press. https://global.oup.com/academic/product/climate-obstruction-9780197787144?cc=au⟨=en&
Timmons Roberts is a co-editor of the book, and Melissa Aronczyk and John Cook are two of the many contributors to it. Tune in (and read the book too - it's terrific!)
Track Changes is a podcast for those active in the climate and sustainability bubble, and for the bubble curious. It features chats with climate and sustainability experts, and it's presented by Melbourne-based communications advisor - and former climate journalist - Murray Griffin.
