Study: widespread misinformation about climate change

Misinformation about climate change is widespread around the world and „weakens the public mandate for climate negotiations„, according to a new study by the organizations Climate Action Against Disinformation and Conscious Advertising Network. According to the study, there is a „huge gap“ between public perception and scientific facts. Even on such basic questions as whether climate change exists and is mainly caused by humans, there are large gaps in the public’s knowledge.
