Huge uptick in spread of climate misinformation on Twitter/X. There was a 707% increase – 7500 – in total mentions over the two-week COP28 period, compared with the previous fortnight.

The countries with the most misleading tweets included the USA with more than 54,000, the UK with more than 13,500 and Canada with more than 10,300.
The analysis was made by electric vehicle manufacturer Polestar who said the figures showed that more action needs to be taken to tackle the issue. It created a Truth Bot to help debunk some of the most common climate myths back in November.
