A third of UK teenagers believe climate change is “exaggerated”, a report has found, as YouTube videos promoting a new kind of climate denial aimed at young people proliferate on the platform.
Sky News host Rowan Dean has proposed a “carbon neutral Big Mac recipe” to cut down methane emissions “in line with Labor's plan to save the planet from catastrophic climate change”.
YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and TikTok have all made pledges to crack down on the spread of misinformation, but it’s still being promoted on all their platforms.
