Facebook announces UK trial to ‘tackle’ climate misinformation
Tackle – or generate? Carbon dioxide being a benefit to plants is deemed false if it’s ‘excess’, according to this report. Anything that might cast doubt on climate catastrophism is likely to get the label treatment.

Labels to be attached to posts directing users to Facebook’s Climate Science Information Center, reports The Guardian.
A new section of the Climate Science Information Center, launching alongside the labelling trial, debunks common myths such as the false claim that polar bear populations are not suffering due to global heating, or the widespread belief that excess carbon emissions help plant life.
Facebook is working with climate communication experts from around the world, including at the University of Cambridge, to produce the content.
Dr Sander van der Linden, a Cambridge academic who has worked with Facebook on the centre, said: “The spread of damaging falsehoods endangers the level of international cooperation required to prevent catastrophic global warming.
“Facebook is in a unique position to counter the circulation of online misinformation, and the new climate ‘myth-busting’ section is an important step toward debunking dangerous falsehoods.”
