IC1: Why does false balance distort public debates?
In this inaugural episode of Inconvenient Chats, we delve into the concept of false balance in science communication, particularly in the context of climate change. We discuss how false balance misrepresents scientific consensus potentially leading to inaction. We explore the implications of false balance on democracy and the trust in institutions.
