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.
More and more it’s clear to me that many people don’t think at all. What do you get with a culture who lives paycheck to paycheck, undervalues education, and overvalues social media? You get a people who only care about right now, and have no vision for the future.
