When it comes to climate change, the facts are clear, yet misinformation continues to sow doubt. A recent video from the well-established YouTube channel Just Have a Think, titled New research DEBUNKS climate disinformation, presents a timely and much-needed look at how climate denial continues to influence politics and public debate.
The video breaks down the most common misleading arguments and illustrates how these claims are deliberately spread to confuse and delay meaningful climate action - ideas that suggest warming has stopped or that we simply must adapt as warming weather poses no threats to human health and that climate scientists are unable to agree. Drawing on scientific research and global data, the host explains not only why these claims are untrue, but also how they’ve evolved over time to sound more persuasive.
In an era when trust in science is often undermined by deceptive communication, sharing media like this is essential. With easy-to-understand visuals the host provides facts rooted in scientific data to recognize prevalent disinformation. This video serves as a refresher for those who may have wondered how climate myths linger despite overwhelming scientific consensus.
Take 15 minutes to watch, and - as the series title suggests - just have a think.
