🌋 *Can a volcano mess with CO₂ readings?* Some online claims say Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory gives false carbon dioxide data because it sits next to an active volcano. But that’s false. The observatory was deliberately placed there to get clean readings—far from pollution, with winds that blow away volcanic gases. Experts also monitor spikes to weed out local interference. 📲 Read the full fact-check: https://bit.ly/4jYgEvW

🚨 *There is no new Covid-19 outbreak in Uganda* People are sharing an old video of Minister Among calling for lockdowns to push false claims. But hold on. Among was moved to the Ministry of Gender a while ago. That clip is from when she was still Minister for Kampala. Sometimes all it takes is a quick reverse image search to catch the lie: https://bit.ly/3SVYZdg

🌍 *The internet keeps spinning climate falsehoods. Here are three of the top climate claims we’ve debunked recently:* 1️⃣ Climate ≠ weather You might think “climate is just average weather, but it’s not that simple. Weather tells you what you wear today; climate determines what belongs in your wardrobe. More than just averages, climate is shaped by complex interactions between air, water, ice, land and life, measured over decades. 📊 It takes 30 years of data and global observations to define it. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4jl5f9c 2️⃣ Climate models match observed trends A viral claim says climate models don’t match temperatures recorded since 1995. That’s false. 📈 Peer-reviewed studies show a strong correlation between model projections and actual warming. 🌡️ If someone questions the data, ask them to show their sources. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4k8XNz3 3️⃣ Magnetic poles are not driving climate change Yes, Earth’s magnetic poles move. The north magnetic pole has shifted more than 1,000km since 1831. But global temperatures only began rising rapidly in the 1970s. 🛑 Pole shifts are natural. 🔥 Global warming is caused by human activity. 🔗 https://bit.ly/4kcOHBD _🛡️ Seen something suspicious?

⚠️ Truth hour. Three viral claims that don’t hold up: 🛶 *That “lone survivor” video? Looks AI-generated* The man’s face glitches. His body jerks unnaturally. He seems to cry, but only one eye has tears. Even the seawater looks off. The clip is not real and not linked to the recent Somali migrant tragedy: https://bit.ly/4e25eWE 🚫 *Trump didn’t ban Tesla production* That clip of Trump announcing a Tesla ban is fake. The video was altered and no such order exists: https://bit.ly/4jOdcE2 🚁 *This isn’t a Somali helicopter rescue* The video showing a person being pulled from floodwaters was filmed in Kenya: https://bit.ly/43UgOyn 📲 Get verified updates straight to your phone.
