Friend,

To save the planet, we first need to protect the truth.

This year’s Earth Day campaign “Our Power, Our Planet” urges everyone to support renewable energy. Yet, our research has shown that climate deniers are strategically spreading disinformation about clean energy online to undermine the solutions we need to save our planet.

By failing to counter the spread of climate denial, social media and search engine platforms are offering climate deniers the tools they need to amplify their lies – damaging people’s trust in science and delaying climate action.

Watch our CEO Imran Ahmed warning about the dangers of climate denial at CAAD’s Climate Information Integrity Summit in Brazil, in preparation for COP30:

Friend, social media platforms have become a polluted space where outrage and clicks outweigh truth.

Climate denial claims are not alternative facts – they are blatant lies.

Real freedom of speech requires informed citizens. That’s why CCDH created an explainer on how social media and search engine platforms are enabling a cascade of climate mis and disinformation. Share it with your friends and family:

Building a fairer internet is climate action. Together, we’re fighting for the future of our planet.

The time to act is now.

Best wishes,

The CCDH Team
