Out-Of-Touch Davos Elites Insist Disinfo On ‘The Science’ No. 1 Global Threat
The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) annual meeting is underway in Davos, Switzerland. Last year, disinformation stole the spotlight and was featured as a key problem for global elites to address.
This year, the WEF has upped the ante, releasing a report that lists “misinformation and disinformation” as the No. 1 short-term risk facing the world—beating out interstate armed conflict, climate change, and lack of economic opportunity. (Societal polarization that is closely linked to misinfo/disinfo, came in third.) [emphasis, links added]
One of the first events at this year’s meeting was a panel discussion, “Liberating Science,” which largely focused on disinformation as it relates to the climate change agenda.
A few short clips from the session went viral on social media; X users took particular note of comments made by two panelists—Naomi Oreskes, a historian of science at Harvard University, and Luciana Vaccaro, a Swiss scientist—who objected to the increased toxicity of the site since Elon Musk took over.
