Australian Security Leaders Climate Group Report on Climate Disinformation
A report by the Australian Security Leaders Climate Group, led by retired defense figures, warns that far-right movements, fossil-fuel states, and large U.S. tech platforms are amplifying climate disinformation. The report highlights how algorithmic amplification and unregulated generative AI have elevated climate disinformation to a national security threat. It recommends antitrust measures, AI regulation, and investment in resilient public information systems to address the issue.
