Climate change is a topic that has been subject to the spread of misinformation online, which can be confusing and misleading for people trying to understand the issue. Here are some examples of how humans have been flummoxed by torrents of disinformation online about climate change:

- **Organized spread of spurious information**: Climate change misinformation circulates online and frequently ends up being discussed in established media or by people in the public eye.
- **Obstacles to meaningful climate action**: Every falsehood, distortion, and conspiracy theory about climate change is an obstacle to meaningful climate action, which is a collective effort.
- **Unsatisfyingly mixed responses from social media platforms**: Social media sites have been rife with climate and clean energy misinformation for years, and their responses to this growing problem have been unsatisfyingly mixed, at best.
- **Delaying climate action**: Rampant disinformation about climate change is shared widely online, seeking to sow division and delay climate action.
- **Misleading statements and outright lies**: A wide range of misleading statements and outright lies about the reality of human-caused climate change circulate widely, which can distort perceptions of how many people don't believe the science that shows the Earth's climate is changing because of human activity.

These examples show how misinformation about climate change can be spread online, leading to confusion and a lack of action on the issue. It is important to recognize the role of misinformation in shaping our responses to climate change and to understand the origins and spread of misinformation, especially through online networks.
