2×05 | Climate Change Myths and Little Lies

by | Nov 6, 2024

It could be said that we live in the information age, at a time when anyone, from their cell phone, can consult any data or learn about any subject. One might think that at such a time, everyone would be perfectly informed about one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, Climate Change; however, the reality is different, precisely because today it is as easy to spread information as it is to spread misinformation, myths or lies. And in a subject as sensitive as Climate Change, there are many myths to combat.

Our guest today, a multifaceted woman who jumped from physics to meteorology and from there, to present the program on climate and meteorology, ‘Aquí la Tierra’, of Radiotelevisión Española, knows it well. Isabel Moreno is passionate about outreach and proof of this is her role as Ambassador of the Climate Pact of the European Union, or her own Instagram profile, where she starts each video with a “hey!” to raise awareness about the issue she is most passionate about, Climate Change, of which she has even published a book: Climate Change for Beginners.

With her we are going to dedicate today to fight myths and little lies about Climate Change.
