Climate change: disinformation by interest
Climate change requires urgent action from politics, science and citizenship. But it is also a field of concern in the area of disinformation. Alexandre López Borrull, professor at the UOC’s Faculty of Information and Communication Sciences, explains how false and misleading information on this topic began to spread and what its main arguments are. The author of the book Scientific Faules: de la terra plana al coronavirus, reflects on possible solutions, on economic and geopolitical interests and on the need for an optimistic vision despite the hard reports of the United Nations expert group (IPCC).
