Climate disinformation is misleading or false content that distorts understanding of climate-related risks, measurements, or trends. It can use cherry-picked data, misleading graphs, fake experts, or repeated slogans to make real evidence seem uncertain. In cyber security, this matters because attacks often target trust and decision-making, not just systems.
In real operations, climate disinformation may spread through coordinated social media amplification, bot activity, or manipulated media that changes how an audience reads a warning or metric. Defenders respond with source verification, content provenance checks, platform monitoring, and rapid correction of false narratives. The security goal is to preserve information integrity so organizations and the public can act on accurate risk signals.
