This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Facebook has announced new efforts to combat climate crisis misinformation on its platform, including by expanding its climate science center to provide more reliable information, investing in organizations that fight misinformation, and launching a video series to highlight young climate advocates on Facebook and Instagram. But critics say the new push, announced on Thursday, falls short and will allow vast amounts of climate misinformation to slip through the cracks. Facebook has long been criticized for allowing misinformation about the climate crisis to proliferate on its platform.
