In today's connected world, we're bombarded with information trying to grab our attention. Every day, our devices, eyes, and ears are filled with claims and counterclaims about sustainability and climate change. So, how do we know what's true and what's trying to deceive us for clicks, money, or something worse? In this webinar, we'll cover the basics of the scientific method, tools for critical thinking, and information literacy. This will help you check sources and methods to distinguish facts from nonsense. We'll also look at common flaws in reasoning that can mislead us.
