Feelings Don’t Care About Your Facts: Hurricanes and Fires in the Age of Conspiracy

November 19, 2024, 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm

Online

Naomi Klein & Dr. Kendra Jewell will lead an interactive discussion on the power of fantastical conspiracy theories in the climate world, from hurricanes in Florida and wildfires in Canada to climate denialism more generally.
Erin Blondeau and Chris Russill will join as experts on the Canadian context to explore how increased mis/disinformation is creating confusion, fueling of far-right policies, exacerbating threats to Indigenous rights, and stymieing public will for climate action.
