政策制定者、学者和实践者都呼吁关注气候变化辩论中的错误信息问题。但是，什么是气候变化的错误信息，谁参与其中，它是如何传播的，为什么它很重要，以及可以做些什么？气候变化错误信息与气候变化怀疑论、否认和逆向思维密切相关。一个行动者网络参与了融资，生产和放大错误信息。一旦进入公共领域，在线社交网络的特征，如同质性、两极分化和回音室气候变化辩论中也发现了这些特征为错误信息的传播提供了肥沃的土壤。潜在的信仰体系和社会规范，以及心理学，如确认偏见，是导致错误信息传播的进一步因素。从不同学科的各种方式来理解和解决错误信息，进行了讨论。其中包括教育、技术、监管和心理方法。没有一种单一的办法能够解决所有关于错误信息的关切，而且所有这些办法都有局限性，因此需要采取跨学科办法来解决这一多方面的问题。关键的研究差距包括了解气候变化错误信息在社交媒体上的传播，并研究错误信息是否延伸到气候危言耸听以及气候否认。本文探讨了错误信息和虚假信息的概念，并将虚假信息定义为错误信息的一个子集。多样性的学科和跨学科的文献进行审查，充分询问的概念，特别是在此范围内，虚假信息，因为它涉及到气候变化。这篇文章被分类下：认知，行为，和气候变化的通信>通信
Policymakers, scholars, and practitioners have all called attention to the issue of misinformation in the climate change debate. But what is climate change misinformation, who is involved, how does it spread, why does it matter, and what can be done about it? Climate change misinformation is closely linked to climate change skepticism, denial, and contrarianism. A network of actors are involved in financing, producing, and amplifying misinformation. Once in the public domain, characteristics of online social networks, such as homophily, polarization, and echo chambers-characteristics also found in climate change debate-provide fertile ground for misinformation to spread. Underlying belief systems and social norms, as well as psychological heuristics such as confirmation bias, are further factors which contribute to the spread of misinformation. A variety of ways to understand and address misinformation, from a diversity of disciplines, are discussed. These include educational, technological, regulatory, and psychological-based approaches. No single approach addresses all concerns about misinformation, and all have limitations, necessitating an interdisciplinary approach to tackle this multifaceted issue. Key research gaps include understanding the diffusion of climate change misinformation on social media, and examining whether misinformation extends to climate alarmism, as well as climate denial. This article explores the concepts of misinformation and disinformation and defines disinformation to be a subset of misinformation. A diversity of disciplinary and interdisciplinary literature is reviewed to fully interrogate the concept of misinformation-and within this, disinformation-particularly as it pertains to climate change.
