Debunking and Prebunking Climate Disinformation

About the event

the Co-chairs of Climate Reality Project’s Chicago Metro Chapter

talk about Debunking and Pre-bunking Climate Disinformation.

Since passage of the IRA Act in 2022, significant progress has been made to address the climate crisis. However, fossil fuel interests and climate deniers have intensified their efforts to hinder adoption of effective climate solutions by households and businesses and to delay and derail local legislative efforts in the more progressive states such as New York, California, and– yes– Oregon.

With climate disasters worsening and the new administration and Congress, it has become increasingly important to address the climate crisis from the grassroots up. We will summarize the top actions individuals can take, including equipping yourself with the latest information to combat climate denial! Breakout groups will allow us to brainstorm ways to counter the current wave of climate disinformation with care, understanding, and climate reality.
