Erin Blondeau

Mary Stuart, a Masters student in political ecology, and Erin Blondeau, Director of Communications at the Climate Emergency Unit, tackle the rise of climate conspiracism. They dissect how climate disasters are distorted into government plots and carbon pollution is misrepresented as a societal benefit. The importance of social media in spreading misinformation is highlighted, especially after Meta's news ban. Both guests stress that grassroots organizing is crucial to combatting misinformation and fostering inclusive dialogue on climate justice.
