‘A Burning House, A Quiet Media, A Silenced Majority’ from @coveringclimatenow.org digs into how shrinking climate coverage is silencing a pro‑climate majority, and what journalists can do about it.
Spikes in climate disinfo line up with key political moments and big climate events. Much of it targets renewables and leans on anti‑EU and anti‑elite narratives, with pro‑agribusiness spin in Brazil.

New research from @quotaclimat.org @sciencefeedback.bsky.social & @dataforgoodfr.bsky.social finds climate disinfo is being pumped out by a small no. of TV & radio channels.
Across Brazil, Spain, France & Poland they found 815 cases, 85% on private outlets, with France accounting for 665 incidents.
You make a mess, you clean it up, right? The fossil fuel industry thinks that rule shouldn't apply to them.
Now, federal lawmakers introduced legislation to block communities pursuing accountability for the climate deception and damages fossil fuel products have caused. 🧵⬇️

The Heartland Institute is still hard at work attacking climate science. @motherjones.com reports from its latest conference, where Trump’s EPA head Lee Zeldin gave the keynote to a room full of climate deniers.
Big Tech’s climate disinfo playbook isn’t just denial, it’s secrecy by design.
An investigation by Investigate Europe reveals how Big Tech lobbied the EU to write a secrecy clause into law, blocking public access to key info on data centres’ environmental impact.

"The UK Government must prioritise people over Big Tech profits and put the brakes on its AI agenda until the damaging environmental impacts are addressed and the social usefulness – or otherwise – of this infrastructure is established."
Oliver Hayes, Head of Big Tech, @globalactionplan.bsky.social
Britain’s AI data centre boom is about to collide with water scarcity. @globalactionplan.bsky.social's new report warns 84% of proposed sites are in areas that are already or projected to be water stressed by 2040. buff.ly/kmHJ2qJ
Trump’s EPA scrapped the Endangerment Finding, the legal basis for tackling climate pollution.
Health and environmental groups have filed a petition telling EPA to reconsider this unlawful rollback and follow the science.

“Facebook’s AI slopaganda is the new Cambridge Analytica scandal... they knew users wouldn’t quit scrolling despite the degraded feeds because users couldn’t, as Meta deliberately chose to build an addictive product, as a jury has recently confirmed.” CAAD told @desmog.com
"It doesn’t have to be this way. We’ve made these choices as an industry, and we can make different ones. It won’t be easy, but the moment to act is now." @commscholar.bsky.social concludes in the @columjournreview.bsky.social
“We don’t need to guess why Shell or BP are funding research at Columbia as they are literally telling us. It’s so that Columbia can greenwash their business models and extend their license to operate." Leel Dias told @dharna.bsky.social for @theguardian.com

Disinformation is not just a climate problem. It's a public health one.
New piece from @gchalliance.bsky.social shows how misleading narratives delay climate action and put lives at risk, from heat illness to worsening air quality.

If governments and the EU had kept their Paris climate agreement promises to limit global heating to 1.5°C, we wouldn't be in this mess
AND the global oil & gas trade would be less of a weapon of war
AND people's energy bills would be lower
It's time to stop fossil fuels and go 100% renewable

@cleancreatives.bsky.social’s Toxic Accounts report shows how the oil and gas industry has moved from greenwashing to gaslighting.

A new @desmog.com report shows internal records warning that Big Oil knew its operations were wrecking Louisiana’s coast and still worked to delay cleanup and dodge accountability.
In their new piece, @ucs.org explains how a recent court win exposed the Trump administration’s unlawful attacks on climate science.
At the heart of it is a secretive Climate Working Group packed with climate contrarians, designed to undermine the EPA’s Endangerment Finding.
BREAKING: The EU Parliament's trade committee has voted in favour of the EU-US trade deal that would lock Europe into imports of US oil and gas
Handing more power to Trump and the US fossil fuel industry while breaches of international law spike energy prices is a disaster
#ResistTrumpsAgenda
New research from the @granthamlse.bsky.social has found that 7 out of 9 Reform UK-led councils have scrapped their climate targets.
The report also notes there is little clarity around claims that “scrapping net zero” will deliver financial savings.
