Prebunking of Climate Change Conspiracy Theories
摘要
Prebunking seeks to prevent climate change conspiracy theories from gaining traction. This can be achieved by educating people about the discourse of conspiratorial thinking. Helping audiences identify the specifics of language use that contribute to anti-climate change narratives rooted in conspiracy theories means understanding the use value of conspiracy theories. Improving the persuasiveness of arguments for human-caused climate change is possible. Teaching how conspiratorial rhetoric is used to craft anti-climate change narratives and addressing cultural differences in opinions are key methods.
