Cloudy with a Chance of Misinformation: How Climate Change Denialism is Spread on Social Media
Description
The spread of climate change denialism on social media has been a significant challenge in addressing the issue of climate change. Bad actors have turned to social media platforms as a space for individuals and organizations to spread misinformation and sow doubt about the scientific consensus on climate change. This presentation will utilize research completed by the TaskUs policy research team to discuss the key topics in the area such as distinct categories of misinformation, trends in commonly used keywords, phrases, hashtags, and product/policy recommendations to help combat this issue.
