Have you ever seen a misleading post claiming heat pumps are a “scam” or EVs are worse for the environment than gas cars?
Whether it’s accidental misinformation or deliberate disinformation, these false narratives create a fog of confusion that stalls real climate action.
From corporate greenwashing to subtle "climate delay" messaging, these tactics are designed to blend in and make factual solutions feel controversial.
Building the skills to recognize and respond to misinformation is becoming an essential part of climate leadership. To help with that, we’re hosting the Identifying and Combating Misinformation breakout session at the 2026 MassEnergize Community Climate Leaders Conference.
DOER Commissioner Elizabeth Mahony and GECA Executive Director Larry Chretien will share perspectives on Massachusetts’ upcoming climate legislation and the growing energy affordability challenge — and what it means for communities across the state.
