UPCOMING #Webinar!🖥️
ACAT & @che-healthenv.bsky.social will present "Carbon Capture and Storage: A Dangerous Distraction."
Speakers will explain how CCS is a false climate solution that prolongs our reliance on fossil fuels and enables industry to continue polluting.
akaction.org/webinars/202...
In this series, ACAT and @che-healthenv.bsky.social offer tips on how to tackle #misinformation and #disinformation.
📲 Remember: Stay informed, know when to disengage, leverage trusted sources that rely on scientific evidence, and help your loved ones do the same.
🔎 Misinformation and disinformation have become increasingly common, especially with social media being one of the primary news sources for many people.
According to a global survey, more than 85% of people are worried about the impact of online disinformation.

This conference is an insult to Alaskans who care about a truly long-lasting & regenerative economy, energy sources, and healthy communities. We want our families to have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, and we want our kids to be able to use the land like we have for generations to come.
This week, @govdunleavy.bsky.social will be holding his Sustainable Energy Conference, which highlights the voices of major fossil fuel advocates while largely excluding the voices of Alaskans most impacted by the climate and energy crises.

Want to learn how we can hold health harming corporations to account? Join us 12pm PT, Thursday May 29 to hear about the work of the @UCSF Center to End Corporate Harm
TOMORROW - Learn about UCSF’s Center to End Corporate Harm, how to use the Industry Documents Library, and how researchers tap these internal documents to understand how corporations influence science & policy.
