A new wave of denial about climate change is on the rise even as there is greater acknowledgment of human-caused global warming, a study of more than 12,000 videos by a disinformation campaign group warns.
一个虚假信息运动组织对12000多段视频进行的研究警告称，即使人们越来越多地承认全球变暖是人类造成的，但新一轮否认气候变化的浪潮正在兴起。
The “new denial” seeks to undermine confidence in green energy solutions, as well as climate science and scientists, the research led by a group of academics and the Center for Countering Digital Hate shows.
由一群学者和“反数字仇恨中心”(Center for Countering Digital Hate)领导的这项研究显示，“新的否认”试图破坏人们对绿色能源解决方案以及气候科学和科学家的信心。
These forms of denial made up 70 per cent of falsehoods related to climate change in videos published on sites such as YouTube and X over a six-year period, said the report, which was published on Tuesday.
本周二发布的这份报告称，在YouTube和X等网站上发布的视频中，这些形式的否认占到6年来与气候变化有关的虚假信息的70%。
Videos that were identified as containing climate denial claims received more than 325mn views in total, based on research that used artificial intelligence tools to sort and classify the assertions in content uploaded from 2018 to 2023.
根据使用人工智能工具对2018年至2023年上传内容中的断言进行整理和分类的研究，被认定包含气候变化否认言论的视频总共获得了超过3.25亿次的浏览量。
The academics led by Travis Coan from the UK’s Exeter university found older forms of denial about climate change had fallen to one-third of the disinformation. Fewer instances highlighting cold weather or a coming ice age were found, for example, as meteorological evidence of global warming increased.
英国埃克塞特大学(University of Exeter)的特拉维斯•科恩(Travis Coan)领导的学者们发现，较旧形式的否认气候变化的虚假信息已下降到三分之一。例如，随着全球变暖的气象证据增多，强调天气寒冷或冰河时期即将来临的情况越来越少。
