Part 1/8:
The Impact of Pop Culture on Climate Disinformation
In recent years, media has become an influential tool not just for entertainment, but also for shaping public perception about critical issues, including climate change. A particular scene from the newly released show Landman, co-created by Taylor Sheridan and starring Billy Bob Thornton, has ignited debate around climate disinformation. The scene depicts Thornton's character delivering a passionate monologue that seemingly casts doubt on the benefits of renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels. This portrayal raises pressing questions about the role of entertainment in disseminating misinformation.
