Facebook on Thursday said it will expand its climate information hub and direct its users to experts to debunk myths about the topic in an effort to fight misinformation, reported AFP. The social media giant said it has added a section to its climate hub that features “facts that debunk common climate myths”.

“Along with expanding the centre, we’re improving it. We added a section that features facts that debunk common climate myths,” Facebook said in a statement.

“We already direct people to the Climate Science Information Center when they search for climate-related terms, and will keep doing that where the centre is available. In countries where it isn’t, we will soon direct people to the UN Environment Programme, a leading global environmental authority,” it added.

Facebook will initially rely on climate experts from the George Mason University, the Yale Programme on Climate Change Communication and the University of Cambridge.

The climate information hub is already live in France, Germany, Britain and the United States, while it is being expanded to Belgium, Brazil, Canada, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Mexico, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Spain, South Africa and Taiwan.
