L'intensité des canicules est elle en augmentation ? J'ai récupéré les températures quotidiennes à la station de Paris-Monsouris. Je regarde les températures minimales (TN) et maximales (TX) de chaque jour.
Pour chacune, je regarde la moyenne annuelle et les extrèmes.

au sujet de la désinformation "climatique" dans les médias pendant les périodes de canicules.

📊Selon @ScienceFeedback, sur #TikTok, 1 publication d'intérêt général sur 4 contient des #fakenews, pour @YouTube c'est 1 sur 5. Pire, les algorithmes favorisent ces contenus trompeurs en particulier sur Youtube, @X et @Facebook.

[#FakeNews] Les énergies #renouvelables, principale cible de la mésinformation sur le changement climatique dans les médias français !
Hier, le secrétaire général des Nations Unies @antonioguterres rappelait que "les renouvelables sont la source d'énergie la moins chère, la plus rapide et la plus judicieuse", constituant "la seule voie crédible pour mettre un terme à la dégradation inexorable de notre climat", avant d'appeler les États du monde entier à lutter contre la #désinformation climatique.
Le même jour, une enquête de @QuotaClimat, @DataForGood_FR et @ScienceFeedback révélait l'ampleur du phénomène dans les médias audiovisuels français : 529 cas d'affirmations trompeuses ou fausses ont été détectés sur les chaînes de télé et les radios françaises entre janvier et août 2025.
Sur Sud Radio, un cas est détecté toutes les 40 minutes d'information sur le changement climatique. Sur CNEWS, c'est une fois toutes les heures. Et une fois toutes les heures et demi sur Europe 1 et RMC.
Ces infox ont atteint un pic lors du débat parlementaire sur la proposition de loi Gremillet et la programmation pluriannuelle de l'énergie au début de l'été. Au total 70% des cas concernent l'énergie, et en particulier l'#éolien et le #photovoltaïque.
L'analyse identifie 19 narratifs récurrents de désinformation, ciblant généralement les solutions au changement climatique et en particulier les #EnR. Ils sont intégralement décryptés dans le rapport complet :

🇵🇹 Happening now at @FCGulbenkian in Lisbon: EDMO Executive Board members Sally Reynolds and Paolo Cesarini are joined by @kateklingova, @lisaginsborg and Emmanuel Vincent @ScienceFeedback to discuss the critical role of #dataaccess in light of the new #CodeofConduct.
⚠️ Poor quality of data, liability issues, complicated access procedures and a lack of standardised #APIs mark just some of the key unresolved problems the community still faces. Learn more about EDMO's work on data access: edmo.eu/areas-of-activities/…

Who’s afraid of the electric car? A new report by EFCSN members @ScienceFeedback and @Newtral reveals how false narratives are slowing down the green transition in Europe, based in part on data from the EuroClimateCheck database.

La #désinformation sur le #Climat se « normalise » dans une partie des médias audiovisuels français. Selon une étude de @DataForGood_FR, @QuotaClimat et @ScienceFeedback portant sur 128 cas au T1 2025, #SudRadio est le média le plus concerné (31% des cas).

The EFCSN strongly condemns the police raid on our Serbian member, @CRTArs which runs the fact-checking platform Istinomer.rs (@istinomer). This incident is an unacceptable attack on civil society, freedom of expression and fact-checking.

Science Feedback recently published an analysis finding that X's community notes failed to address "most of the misinformation identified by fact-checkers on the platform" around last year's European Parliament elections.

And Meta's rollback has ramifications far beyond U.S. politics. Around the world "the public faces an ever-growing risk of being misled by powerful actors prioritizing their own interests over the well-being of their audience or the public good," @ScienceFeedback said.

Fact-checking is not censorship; fact-checking adds to public debates and provides context for citizens to make up their own minds. Fact-checkers are held to the highest journalistic standards, with organisations like the EFCSN upholding these standards.

Russian and Belarusian propaganda thrives online in the EU despite sanctions, - @ScienceFeedback and @Alliance4Europe report.
Nearly three years after the EU imposed sanctions on Russian and Belarusian state-controlled media and propagandists, many remain freely accessible across major social media platforms, undermining efforts to curb disinformation.
▪️Official channels for Russian state media like RIA Novosti, Sputnik, and Russia Today remain accessible on platforms such as Telegram, with some even generating ad revenue.
▪️Prominent propagandists like Vladimir Solovyov and Alexander Dugin maintain active pages on Facebook.
▪️Unofficial pages and accounts on Facebook, X, and YouTube continue to republish content from sanctioned outlets like RT in major European languages, reaching broad audiences.
▪️Coordinated Pravda network targets Europe through 61 websites that republish Russian propaganda tailored to each EU member state and beyond.
▪️Belarusian state media are unaddressed. They face little to no moderation, with their content widely available across platforms.
Despite explicit EU sanctions, 83% of flagged accounts remain online, and additional searches uncovered 370 more cases of sanctioned content or amplifiers, collectively amassing millions of followers. Alarmingly, some platforms provide monetization opportunities for these accounts.
