How do you tell the difference between facts and misinformation? This Critical Thinking About Climate video explains how to deconstruct arguments so you can spot if it’s misinformation and tag any misleading fallacies. This is a skill we all need these days as misinformation is everywhere!

This video is based on a paper coauthored by John Cook, Peter Ellerton and David Kinkead, outlining a step-by-step method to deconstruct denialist claims about climate change and identify reasoning fallacies. The paper is freely available at http://sks.to/criticalclimate

Thanks also to the UQx crew who filmed our original critical thinking cafe video. You can watch the original video via https://youtu.be/XAp1Foj7BzY
