Said it before, will probably die saying it, we are never going to solve the climate disinfo problem if we don't fix media. As @maxboykoff.bsky.social notes here, the public by and large learns about climate change via the media, so if the media trades in false equivalence, it's damaging!

“You can’t just stack up all the IPCC reports and hope that people get it. You got to find these creative spaces," said CIRES Fellow @maxboykoff.bsky.social in a recent AP News story about climate and comedy. buff.ly/eyywKPm

Check out the 10th annual Stand Up for Climate Comedy event on April 22!

Global warming isn't funny -- except in the hands of these comedians

Comedians have long used jokes to raise awareness of serious problems, and many are now turning the gaze to climate change.
