Identifying credible information online

The internet is rife with both credible and dubious information. To verify online content:

• Use fact-checking websites: Websites like Snopes, FactCheck.org, and Climate Feedback analyze claims and provide evidence-based evaluations.
• Check the date: Ensure the information is up to date. Climate science is rapidly evolving, and outdated information can be misleading.
• Analyze the URL: Be cautious of websites with unusual domain names or those that mimic reputable news sites with slight variations.
