💡 How climate disinformation tried and failed to FLOP #COP30. From fake scandals to viral anti-COP hashtags, the latest edition of OII breaks down who spread the lies and how the climate integrity agenda won out in Belém.

"America" has been sold for $12million, making it the most expensive toilet I've ever used.

On Friday, I am talking with @timmonsroberts.bsky.social about this magisterial recent report on the origins & nature of climate obstruction. Basically: who has sabotaged climate action, how, and why. Got questions?

Klein's messaging is indistinguishable from fossil fuel ads. Literally: caad.info/analysis/new...

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

“This is the first COP in history where information integrity is one of the guiding principles of the negotiations. This issue will not disappear with this COP. It is important that this is not the first & the last in which this topic has been placed as an important pillar.”

🤝 Today on COP30’s first ever official Information Integrity Day, over 195 individuals and 189 organisations have joined us to urge governments to codify information integrity, counter climate disinformation, and put public health and human rights first. buff.ly/6hNxaiq

Oh and also, 1 in 25 COP30 attendees is a fossil fuel lobbyists. kickbigpollutersout.org/Release-Kick...

95% hostile: "Murdoch’s TalkTV and Radio really outdid themselves on COP30 – 84 of 89 segments were hostile... So while some 97% of climate scientists agree it’s a crisis, 95% of Talk coverage insists its not worth fixing. How balanced!" Based on new research from @stopfundingheat.bsky.social

Living the disinfo beat dream!

I understand there's a row in the UK over biased media?

Attention to climate disinformation is finally getting its day at the #UNFCCC negotiations. Countries are signing on for this crucial initiative

💡 @timmonsroberts.bsky.social makes 3 points at the @caadcoalition.bsky.social & @ucs.org presser #COP30: 1 Disinformation is everywhere 2 Those w/ structural power deploy disinformation to maintain status quo. 3 Solutions exist & they're urgent. More info @cssn.org & cssn.org/news-researc...

Talking climate disinformation at #COP30!

Today at #COP30 colleagues launched the opposite of the disinformation playbook from @ucs.org. Congratulations to our fellow @caadcoalition.bsky.social members for making it clear how ad agencies and brands can align their influence with climate science. www.creativesforclimate.co/creative-int...

🐄 New analysis from @desmog.com shows how food and farming corporations, trade groups and initiatives are set to navigate COP30. buff.ly/20x5AAL

A new @caadcoalition.bsky.social report warns climate disinformation fuels a 'false social reality': 89% want more action, yet most think they’re in the minority. Tackling info integrity is now on the COP30 agenda. #ClimateAction #Disinformation 🔗 www.caad.info/analysis/rep...

"That’s why it’s so important that, for the first time, information integrity has made it to the [COP] Action Agenda." 👇 Report on how Big Carbon (=Big Oil & Big Agro) uses disinformation to sabotage climate action at the int. level down to the local, and poisons ☠️ our digital info environment.

Big Tech And Big Carbon Fueling #COP30 Misinformation, Groups Claim #climatecrisis @caadcoalition.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/emmawo...

After four years of monitoring disinformation around the annual UN COP negotiations, CAAD’s pre-COP30 report represents a turning point in the struggle to confront climate disinformation. Read the report and sign up for regular disinformation bulletins during #COP30 here: act.ucsusa.org/4ozdxOj

🚨 Our new report, Deny, Deceive, Delay: Demystified, is out now. 🚨 The report explores how Big Carbon and Big Tech use disinformation to sabotage climate action and why, despite 89% of people worldwide demanding stronger action, progress gets derailed.

“Researchers have defined this kind of systemic misunderstanding of how others think as a perception gap, and one result is that politicians calculate that they can continue to cater to corporate interests and preserve the fossil fuel status quo.”

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved. www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/u...

Dana Nuccitelli (@dananuccitelli.bsky.social) debunks nineteen climate myths propagated by "two octogenarian fringe climate contrarians" on Joe Rogan's podcast.

Right-wing media told Republicans that anti-trans politics would deliver a winning coalition. 2025 races show they misunderstood why the message ever worked.

To understand how Bari Weiss might approach climate coverage at CBS, I read every climate article the Free Press has published. Almost every one reinforced a common fossil fuel industry talking point—that climate change is exaggerated, that solutions don't work, and that fossil fuels = freedom

Incredible- Meta projected 10% of its 2024 revenue would come from ads for scams and banned goods, documents seen by Reuters show. And the social media giant internally estimates that its platforms show users 15 billion scam ads a day."

Meta earns $3.5 billion every six months from showing Faceboon and Instagram users 15 billion “higher legal risk” scam ad impressions a day, internal documents state. That haul vastly exceeds how much the company expects regulators To fine it for running scam ads. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

"Canada told the fossil fuel industry greenwashing was illegal, and its response was that having to be honest and transparent would make it too hard to do business. Apparently the threat worked," says Phil Newell of @caadcoalition.bsky.social www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/04/n...

climate denial, too!

Always happy to get @theonion.com in the mail

"Tell us what you're doing" "Nooooooo but if I tell you im killing everyone for money you'll stop me, and my freeze peach!!!"

🗓️ Join CAAD for a Pre-COP30 Disinformation Roundtable on Thursday October 30th, at 11am ET. We'll dig into the latest climate misinformation trends with a panel of experts and discuss how to counter false narratives ahead of COP30. Register here buff.ly/A1Da6WM

I'll be on this panel talking about a big disinfo scoop DeSmog is preparing to publish :0

Love2give Russian propagandists access to the Pentagon. Very cool. caad.info/analysis/bri...

🎯🧵ALSO: The Tea Party was an elite project the Koch Brothers had been trying to get off the ground for almost a decade before it finally took off. No Kings arose spontaneously from the people who felt abandoned by elites who either collaborated with Trump or indicated a willingness to do so.

Liars know they're lying, and they're doing it on purpose to bully you into accepting their power. Don't.

This story was inspired by a conversation with a fossil fuel exec in Paris a few days after the big outage in Spain. He blamed too much renewable energy as the cause. Was that really it? Turns out: No. @npr.org takes you through a new report on what happened + impacts of renewable misinformation.

Also, majorities in UK+Spain believed holding social media companies accountable for this kind.of harmful content would be a solution!

"Gets created" by advertising. This is why we should ban fossil fuel ads like we did smoking!

i made a helpful reference

This conversation on how media adds to obstruction on climate action by @amywestervelt.bsky.social with @aronczyk.bsky.social and @maxboykoff.bsky.social is really good

"If we're the GOP, then surely MAGA will lose." Some overpaid consultant the DNC is paying to help them lose, apparently.

love that we invented a calculator that lies so effectively real people have to waste their time trying to keep its constant bullshit out of real knowledge spaces

Written version here, for the readers! xtramagazine.com/video/fossil...

Anti-trans hate is the NEW, new climate denial. Great @xtramagazine.com piece building on coverage from @yessfun.com and @emorwee.bsky.social about how the fossil fuel industry is funding the anti-trans movement.

I have too much to get done today so I gotta nope out of the news but I will say that someone once said we needed to keep a scoreboard of how often pundits/columnists are absolutely wrong and it should be published with all their future work to give proper context
