Climate Change Disinformation teach-in this coming Thursday March 21st 5.30-7pm

Climate Change Disinformation teach-in this coming Thursday March 21st 5.30-7pm

When:
Thursday, March 21, 2024
5:30 PM – 7:00 PM
Where:
Biosciences Complex
Room: 1101 Main auditorium
Find on Campus Map
Description:

Climate Change Disinformation teach-in this coming Thursday March 21st 5.30-7pm Biosciences 1101

Why is this teach-in necessary?  It’s a response to disinformation about the role of Canadian fossil fuel production in a Paris-aligned world (both generally and specifically promoted at a recent talk at the Smith School of Business).

  • Climate denial has been replaced with other forms of mis- and dis-information that don’t question the science but seek to slow down the transition away from fossil fuels
  • These ‘discourses of delay’ are prevalent in Canada (and on Queen’s campus) and are pushed by the industry
  • These discourses involve legitimate concerns that people express—such as high costs or uncertain efficacy of climate action—but qualify as disinformation because these concerns are intentionally distorted and amplified into misleading claims
  • This is important because evidence suggests that disinformation can be more persuasive than scientifically accurate information

Format: Short (10 minute) responses to different “discourses of climate delay” by a variety of experts with specific reference to the Canadian context. 1-1.5 hours in total (including time for questions).  See full details in attached poster.

Free registration:  https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/climate-change-disinformation-teach-in-tickets-818643563937; Some pizza provided!
