Climate change misinformation has been a persistent issue for decades, fueled by campaigns funded by the fossil fuel industry. In this episode of the How to Protect the Ocean podcast, host Andrew Lewin discusses the ongoing struggle to raise awareness about climate change and the detrimental effects of misinformation on public perception and policy. He highlights a recent article from The Cool Down that reveals how organizations are financially supported to spread false narratives and apathy regarding climate change.

Andrew reflects on historical examples, such as the successful efforts to address the ozone layer and acid rain, contrasting them with the current challenges posed by climate change denial and misinformation. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the role of influential figures and organizations, like the Koch brothers, in perpetuating these misleading narratives.

As the episode unfolds, Andrew calls for action against climate change misinformation and encourages listeners to be informed voters, especially in light of upcoming elections. He stresses the need for transparency in political funding and urges individuals to support candidates who prioritize environmental issues over corporate interests. Join Andrew as he navigates the complexities of climate change communication and advocates for a more informed and proactive approach to protecting our planet.
