The Bottom Line

Despite widespread consensus on the reality of climate change, misinformation about both the causes and solutions for climate change took hold during the 2024 presidential election. As this type of misinformation continues to impact public discourse, the need for greater media literacy becomes crucial, particularly to counteract the influence of political leaders and foreign-backed campaigns on voter behavior.

    People don’t say the world is ending all the time. Religious conservatives do. That’s what they don’t see. I grew up in a religious conservatives community and pretty much every Democratic president was labeled the anti Christ, heralding the end of days.

        Stupid American. There’s no natives or Indians anywhere but the u.s right? Not like the entirety of the Americas is populated with native peoples, despite your best efforts to eradicate us. Damn you’re seriously stupid, or racist, or both. Literally every country on this continent has us.
