That the truth about the environment is at threat is not new, today's article in the Guardian announcing that "Many researchers are fleeing the platform, unnerved by the surge in climate misinformation since Musk’s chaotic takeover " is just confirming what we already knew: it is time for #researchhubs #scientists #academies #education #researchers #publishers to reconsider how they transfer knowledge and opt for #secure #verifiedtruth as the new normal so that everyone can benefit of reliable information and form their own ideas.
Research dated 2020* suggests that the misinformation network begins with funding supplied by corporate and philanthropic actors with a vested interest in climate change – particularly in fossil fuels. This money goes to a range of groups involved in producing misinformation. These groups – referred to variously as the “climate change denial machine” and “organized disinformation campaigns” – include political and religious organizations, contrarian scientists and online groups masquerading as grassroots organizations. People in positions of power, such as the media, politicians and prominent bloggers, then repeat and amplify this information in an “influencers echo chamber” and from there it reaches a wider audience.
A change is much needed. #covid lesson did teach us something [or not]? Collaboration is the only way to overcome global challenges, mistrust and misinformation are impediments we can't afford, we need new ecosystems where truth and trust feed each other to enhance and empower collaboration.
Knowledge is power and we can't give it up. For those who don't know, QuTii is a non-profit initiative powered by TiiQu technologies. It is politically neutral, it aims to offer the open square for protecting, sharing, broadcasting, verifying and ensuring facts so that truth prevails. A new category of experts is coming and we hope every researcher, specialist, scientist, technologist, and policies expert will want to join. This movement of knowledgeable people grows and builds trust and changes the way we work out the quest for information. AOTs continuously validate their competency through their co-validated contribution and provide open access to verified truth. We are just at the beginning but things are clear in our minds: we will not give up the right to contribute and benefit from truth.

1 年Sean McBride the sad thing is that the entire information system is set for increasing the reach of titles NOT of content. #Authority originally meaning prestige, right, permission, dignity, and gravity is now associated with followers, likes, and viewers and research says that claims spread faster and broader than truth producing way more likes viewers and followers. The good news is that some are wise enough to escape from the trap of social authority statistics and renounce to influence but choose to inspire.

1 年One problem I’ve noticed over time is media people who take the science then screw it up. So even if you have a source of truth they put their spin on it for headlines. Every few months in say health research you see some media article in a health magazine or news outlet like ‘coffee cuts ten years from life’ or ‘meat cuts lifespan’, ‘coffee improves longevity’ etc and the research doesn’t actually say that. The most recent ‘example was ‘nose picking causes Alzheimers’ and then a lot of refutation from scientists. The media cherry picks and doesn’t read the whole research paper in the first place. Not sure how you combat that.

1 年I have been thinking about this quote for a while: "It is time for #researchhubs #scientists #academies #education #researchers #publishers to reconsider how they transfer knowledge and opt for #secure #verifiedtruth as the new normal so that everyone can benefit of reliable information and form their own ideas." I strongly believe that our academic background as well as enviromental journalists or publishers must aim to reach a broader audience in order to get people involved, even through social media, blogs or mainstream media (if we are given the opportunity in the later). I couldn't agree more with this or with what Zack H. Abdi highlighted before regarding the need for collaboration. We should look forward to communicating in a timely trustworthy manner what needs people's attention and do so together instead of as individuals reporting on their own. In doing so we might be able to let people focus on other sources of information, rather than the usual ones, and provide the #verifiedtruth facts first. Hope and optimism to keep moving forward!????
