Rural Pennsylvania farmers are stopping the spread of solar mis- and dis-information in their communities, and are open to solar leasing proposals, scholar Dr. Shanti Gamper-Rabindran of @GSPIA states in recent podcast with @KaraHolsopple @AlleghenyFront bit.ly/400rbQM
Dr. Gamper-Rabindran's study found that "..There is tremendous support for solar in rural communities, but the solar project has to be tailored [to] the agricultural activity and with the agricultural landscape," Read full study here: bit.ly/3Njhd5I

So turns out that a top anti-climate lawsuit group was being funded as part of a 'confidential' oil industry campaign called 'Defend BP'.

Nothing to see here -- just an internal report by Shell from 1989 precisely predicting the "violent weather" and "deluges" that just destroyed half of Appalachia, and summing up expected climate chaos with the comment, "Civilisation could prove a fragile thing."
Important work coming from @caadcoalition!
New research from Global Action Plan, CASM Tech, CAAD and @ISDglobal reveals alarming spread of climate misinformation in UK. Analysis of 30k+ social media posts shows widespread false narratives, evolving tactics and monetisation of disinformation.

In the face of extreme weather, Africa’s farmers need facts, not falsehoods. Disinformation is an existential risk, and in his article, @heff_andrew highlights the importance of education, empowerment, and technological intervention to stop the spread. cigionline.org/publications/…

Turns out there are 3: "the conservative movement, oil and gas industry groups, and electric utilities/mining/heavy industry"..movement is the "interface"
