Social media giant Facebook<\/a> has sought the help of experts on anti-environment propaganda, including a Cambridge psychologist, to improve their\u00a0Climate Science Information Center<\/a>\u00a0and help more of the platform\u2019s almost three billion monthly users find the latest accurate climate science data.<\/p>\n

Dr Sander van der Linden<\/a>\u00a0is one of three experts on behavior and communication to have been drafted in by the social media giant to advise on how best to debunk the toxic myths about global heating that spread like wildfire on digital platforms such as Facebook.<\/p>\n

Along with academics from Yale and George Mason universities, Van der Linden has helped Facebook to expand their digital Center, which connects its users with vetted, proven research from the world\u2019s leading climate change organizations, including the United Nations Environment program.<\/p>\n

Van der Linden and colleagues worked with teams at Facebook to design the most effective types of communication for the platform\u2019s misinformation debunking initiative, including a section that challenges damaging climate change myths, such as the belief that global warming is just part of a natural cycle of temperature fluctuation, and that more atmospheric carbon dioxide greens the planet.<\/p>\n

Already available in the US and parts of Europe, today also marks Facebook\u2019s expansion of their Climate Science Information Center\u2019s availability to other major nations including\u00a0Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Nigeria\u00a0and Spain.<\/p>\n

\u201cClimate change is an existential threat, which makes misinformation about climate change an existential threat,\u201d said Van der Linden, Director of the Cambridge Social Decision-Making Lab at the University\u2019s Department of Psychology.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe spread of damaging falsehoods endangers the level of international cooperation required to prevent catastrophic global warming. Facebook is in a unique position to counter the circulation of online misinformation, and the new climate \u2018mythbusting\u2019 section is an important step toward debunking dangerous falsehoods.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope this collaboration will help people the world over to better discern fact from fiction,\u201d Van der Linden said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In an\u00a0article published<\/a>\u00a0to Facebook\u2019s Newsroom, the company contends that fighting climate change starts with \u201cfighting the misinformation around it\u201d. \u201cWe will keep working to expand the Climate Science Information Centre, providing trusted information from verifiable sources, and, we hope, inspiring people to take action in their community,\u201d it stated.<\/p>\n

Dr\u00a0Anthony Leiserowitz from the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, who worked with Van der Linden and Dr John Cook from George Mason University, said that while misinformation about climate change long predates the internet, it has been \u201cgreatly amplified in our new digital world\u201d.<\/p>\n

In an additional UK-specific trial, Facebook says it will automatically label posts containing climate change misinformation with one of several tags that not only direct users to the new Centre, but issue them with a short corrective message \u2013 such as the fact that 97% of the world\u2019s scientific community are in agreement about the threat of global heating.<\/p>\n

Facebook said that, in nations where its Climate Science Information Center is yet to become available, the platform will direct people to the\u00a0UN Environment Program<\/a>\u00a0website. Nancy Groves from the United Nations said that it aims to continue working with Facebook \u201cto dispel myths and to provide access to the latest science on the climate emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n
