Does the battle to prevent catastrophic climate change depend on winning the information war?

In a special series coinciding with the crucial Cop 26 summit, 麻豆社 Trending investigates how disinformation and denial are threatening efforts to combat man-made climate change in different ways around the world.

The overwhelming weight of global scientific opinion agrees that humanity is at a turning point where only urgent and dramatic action will save the planet from disaster.

But even as evidence of the dangers mounts up, the push to avert crisis is under attack on a range of fronts.

This series will explore how vested interests are adopting new tactics to delay, block, or distract attention from what science says needs to be done. And it will examine the role of social media in spreading baseless conspiracy theories that warp debate with potential real life consequences.

The series will also speak to the scientists and activists who are determined to fight back against the disinformation before it鈥檚 too late.
