Facebook Is Making Millions Off Lies About the Climate Crisis

Nov. 5, 2021

A barrage of new data shows just how bad Facebook's climate misinformation problem is, and how the company profits from it.

 

As world leaders at COP26 in Glasgow try to negotiate the drastic and urgent action needed to avoid total climate catastrophe, a trio of new reports shows that work is being directly undermined by Facebook’s inability to prevent toxic misinformation about climate change from pervading its platform.

I feel this tension myself, and as a parent and climate activist, I see it affecting young people especially hard.
