Tell Ofcom to stop climate misinformation TalkTV regularly spouts misinformation about the climate crisis, claiming that “CO2 is not a threat to the planet” and that the science behind it “doesn’t add up to a row of beans”. The rightwing news channel has even said that we are "scaring children about something that is not going to happen", and that net zero is “driven by pseudoscience” and “suicidal”. But when Stop Funding Heat complained to Ofcom, the regulator did nothing about it – and didn’t even explain why. This is a blatant failure by Ofcom to do its job, so we’re fighting back.

RSPCA warns animal owners of 'huge risks' of heatwave The RSPCA advises dog owners and farmers on how to look after their animals in high temperatures.

Heat is also dangerous to humans btw.

No mention of the cause of increased risk of heatwaves (burning fossil fuel).

No mention of the role of the farming industry in increasing the risk.

Another fail by BBC. #MediaTellTheTruth

Protesters wearing black hold placards showing images of floods caused by climate change and research data in front of Daily Mail offices in London

Another day another protest. At the Daily Mail (UK right wing tabloid) challenging their claim to be the voice of ordinary folk. Their climate change denial is totally out of step with recent Yale research showing people are climate aware and care deeply. Do better! #MediaTellTheTruth

If the Media told the FULL TRUTH about Climate Breakdown….

Well that would be really something!

#mediatellthetruth

…but surely the Media will tell the FULL TRUTH about Climate Breakdown?
