Conspiratorial narratives about climate action have entered the mainstream all over Europe

Conspiratorial influencers who built large audiences during the
Covid-19 pandemic have turned to false and misleading claims about the climate and other topics to keep their audiences engaged.

Across Europe, conspiratorial influencers who amassed big audiences during Covid have turned to the climate + farmers' protests. This is starting to impact elections, including the UK's. My first for @RollingStone with @SamShepEdwards @alessioperrone

Ahead of the EU's parliamentary elections, climate disinformation is ramping up, with the far-right looking to benefit. The amount of disinformation had grown substantially in the last 6 months, report @DarrenLoucaides @alessioperrone and @SamShepEdwards: https://t.co/IH6pyyJqup

Ahead of the EU elections, conspiratorial groups once dedicated to Covid are switching to climate disinfo. New investigation for @euronews https://t.co/jBt5WPPWg3

Paradox of carbon pricing is that while progress is being made on extending and creating new ETS schemes, the majority of the price signal still comes from fuel duties. And a rash of cuts on this (all untargeted) risks weakening the carbon price signal https://t.co/tSuog1ULrz

🚨The evidence just keeps on growing

Latest research, under review @Nature, conducts systematic review of +2,000 carbon offset projects

Result: Only 12% of the total credit volume across these 4 sectors in the #VCM constitute real emissions reductions https://t.co/e7k1MiI8G1

Alors que la journaliste Ariane Lavrilleux est en garde à vue et que son domicile a été perquisitionné, le gouvernement reste silencieux.

Interrogé par Mediapart, son porte-parole, Olivier Véran, a préféré éluder la question. 👉 https://t.co/m2H6rQkUij

In Spain climate change plays almost no role in electoral campaigns or manifestos, mainly to the lack of attention to the issue by mainstream parties. One explanation is that public mass mobilisation on climate change has not yet occurred https://t.co/9on6A9lVDJ

As voters go to the polls in Spain amid a historic drought, I looked at why the issue of climate change has had limited impact on elections so far for @euronewsgreen #28MayoElecciones

Another blow to the reputation of the voluntary carbon market:

Cannes Festival ends its relationship with Swiss carbon finance consultancy South Pole after reporting showing credits bought to offset emissions were worth only a 1/3 of what was claimed

[Ariane Lavrilleux @AriaLavrilleux]

"On n'est pas ravis mais on pouvait pas le savoir" me dit le secrétaire général du #FestivaldeCannes

1 semaine après notre enquête @Disclose_ngo, le festival révèle qu'il n'a ps renouvelé pas son partenariat avec le leader -très controversé- de la compensation carbone⤵️
