Climate misinformation

Battling climate myths and fighting for the truth

The problem: A flood of climate misinformation is threatening to erode public support for solving the climate crisis. Often shared on social media, misleading narratives question the causes and impacts of climate change and cast doubt on effective solutions for tackling the problem. These lies spread fast — and they’re slowing environmental progress.

What we’re doing about it: EDF is part of a global coalition that’s keeping up the pressure on social media platforms to reduce climate misinformation. And — with people like you — we’re fighting for the truth. The tools and resources on this page can help you identify, report and debunk climate myths. Together, we can stop the lies.
