Maybe you’re right, we don’t need a global center on climate change to counter disinformation.

That’s why climate scientists, NGOs, and related organizations need a dedicated communication arm staffed with full-time professionals. The key is to actively counter disinformation and strategically use AI to amplify accurate, science-based messaging.

The fossil fuel industry and its allies have mounted a massive disinformation campaign designed to confuse the public and downplay the dangers of inaction. Most Americans and Europeans now recognize climate change as a threat—just not one serious enough to influence how they vote.

I read your book on Kindle. Scared the hell out of me with information I didn’t know about. Very worried about my grandchildren’s future lives.

I’m not blaming them! They, by their profession, are poorly equipped to fight organized disinformation.

Stopping climate change has become a battle of communication. Unfortunately, the fossil fuel industry is winning that battle with ease, as if taking candy from a baby. It’s time to counter disinformation by an organized response.

I believe the reluctance of climate scientists to organize and directly counter organized disinformation campaigns is rooted in a mix of cultural, institutional, professional, and structural factors:

Climate change is harming the global economy, and its impacts will only intensify. The scientific community must unite to counter well-funded disinformation campaigns that undermine climate action. Continuing the same approaches while expecting different results is nuts.

Global emissions are up 34% since the first COP conference in 1995.
The market for solar panels & EVs has grown - but so has fossil fuel use. However, without the COP process, world temperatures would be headed for a catastrophic 5C of heating, instead of the 3C+ increase that is now projected.

We still hold the power to prevent the worst outcomes of climate change if we act decisively to end our dependence on fossil fuels. But that window is closing fast. Humanity needs to get their heads out of the sand before it is too late to stop climate change!

I believe it’s time we adopt a universal symbol to represent humanity’s failure to heed scientists’ warnings about climate change—while we still have the power to prevent the worst outcomes. Symbols can work because they communicate powerful ideas instantly—without needing words.
