"Provincial governments are primarily responsible for education but the federal government can play a role too, particularly when an education topic is deemed in the national interest. The need to urgently address #ClimateChange is absolutely in the national interest & in that of our children."

I read an article in Rolling Stones magazine (@RollingStone) from 2017 about Elon Musk, "The Architect of Tomorrow." It's very funny to read this today. It reminded me of an argument I had a few years ago with a software developer I respected, because he argued that the guy was a genius and I said he was just a crook. Until recently, in the developer bubble, many people I knew said that the guy buying Twitter would be fantastic for the platform because it would increase freedom of expression. I even saw people I used to work with sharing some of this nonsense.

Isn't it amazing how easily people are manipulated into believing fantasies that help create a myth? And there was a lot of help from the media in all of this. This is the richest man in the world, who some believed wanted to solve humanity's problems, but is helping to destroy US democracy and interfering in that of other countries to go the same way.

#Putin now firmly getting his claws into the minds of the #German electorate, as pro-#Russian, pro-#Nazi #AFD party goes to #1 in the polls.

Until the #EU finally roots out #Russias #disinformation machine, #European society will be brought to chaos.

"The federal government is coming out with a framework on environmental learning which needs best practices and principles & to be aligned with our treaty obligations under the #ParisAgreement to limit warming to 1.5, placing the urgent need to transition away from fossil fuels in the framework."

This has real consequences already--kids are dying of preventable disease.

Research into how #disinformation affects democracy has never been more important. But #autocrats and #populists discredit any findings that challenge their worldview. In my latest article on ECPR's The Loop I describe how #Trump is changing the rules of communication, and manipulating public discourse

"Just as we wouldn't want #BigTobacco sponsoring events at our schools, #BigOil shouldn't be either. There needs to be a ban on #FossilFuels sponsorship & provincial governments need to step up & fund the #ClimateChange education our kids deserve."

The #whitehouse is panicking right now.

They have turned their website into a #propaganda and #disinformation spreading service, mostly because of how many #maga people are finally turning on them as they lose their jobs, crop futures, and see the government trying to take their needed services away, like #socialsecurity and #medicaid.

They're hoping to mislead their loyal supporters.

Who will believe it if it looks like government info.

This is my final post on ScienceMastodon; I will be moving to DragonSidedD@mstdn.science

I want to take a moment to thank Dr. Charles Seife @cgseife for his investment of time and funds into this experimental #Mastodon

Far more importantly, thank you Prof. Seife for your decades-long, prescient work in the critical task of improving #science communication, and fighting #disinformation

We are in a race between education and oblivion.
