2/3 To defeat them, be as prepared as possible:
- know the basic #science of #climatechange
- know how to #vetsources for bias/accuracy
- know which sites/#deniers are popular
- keep lists of #refutations handy

#Science and #criticalthinking are two vital skills lacking today, evidenced by the rampant spread of #misinformation on #socialmedia.

PS - I didn't argue with them, but redirected the conversation.
Today I'll be sending a brief email, worded to NOT be confrontational, about the need to #vetsources. More emails about #disinformation will follow.
I'm not going to lecture, but educate, because that works best.👍

1/2 A short read on why it's so VITAL to #VetSources to get FULL context, because #antivaxxers spread #misinformation about #COVID19 and #vaccines by leaving OUT important facts! ⚠️

#Misinformation lacks #accountability: when #trollers make things up or OMIT relevant facts it simplifies any message being shared.
Complex but correct answers are less appealing than simple lies for short-attention audiences on #socialmedia. So, be sure to ALWAYS #VetSources!✅

FYI, my weekday posts are made in spare moments at my day job, but I still do my best to both read AND #vetsources on EVERYTHING I post.
It's important to me to post useful, timely #ClimateAction and #ClimateCrisis info, plus #disinformation / #misinformation resources for you.
