Ever heard someone say that Canadian wildfires are no big deal, that natural gas exports reduce emissions, or even that more CO2 is good for the planet?

With a recent investigation by Canada's National Observer revealing that AI chatbots are being used to flood municipal councils with climate misinformation, countering these pervasive myths is more important than ever.

For CAFES, addressing climate misinformation is key to our work, and we've created several resources to empower you to respond to climate misinformation in your daily life.

The CAFES Climate Misinformation team has prepared a webpage to equip you with credible information debunking common myths surrounding climate science, renewable energy and batteries, transportation, and urban planning. We further provide resources to support you in advocating for meaningful climate action in municipal policy-making spaces.

In addition to the webpage, CAFES Executive Director Angela Keller-Herzog recently penned an op-ed in the West Carleton Online addressing misinformation surrounding the proposed South March Battery Energy Storage System in West Carleton. Check it out!
