Disinformation campaigns 6/7
Common climate disinformation narratives
Climate disinformation often follows predictable patterns. These narratives are designed to confuse, delay action, or discredit climate solutions and the people promoting them. Below are the most common types:
Denying the science
Claims that climate change isn’t real, isn’t caused by humans, or that scientists don’t agree.
Promoting conspiracy theories
Suggests climate action is part of a secret plan for control by global elites or governments.
Misusing weather events
Uses short-term weather (like cold days or wildfires) to discredit long-term climate trends.
