Where does climate misinformation spread?
ClimateSense is a European research project. We combine AI detection, knowledge graphs and maps to trace misleading climate claims, the actors behind them and the places they reach. Our tools are built for fact-checkers, journalists, NGOs and policymakers.

What we build
LACK
An open knowledge graph of 27,945 people and organisations working against climate science and policy, and who funds and leads whom.
Explore LACKFact-check graph
Connects climate misinformation claims to scientific evidence, to support transparent fact-checking.
Claim map
Shows where fact-checked climate claims appear, by place, time and topic.
Detection models
AI models that detect climate-related misinformation in text.
About ClimateSense
ClimateSense (Climate Misinformation Surveillance and Analysis with Multidimensional GIS) is a research project designed to combat climate-related misinformation through Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Climate misinformation remains widespread. It affects public perception and obstructs effective climate policymaking.
The project builds a multidimensional GIS that integrates climate metrics (temperature, precipitation, wind, carbon emissions) with misinformation data from fact-checkers and media platforms. It lets users explore where climate misinformation emerges, how it spreads and how it relates to observed climate and policy conditions. This enables more targeted monitoring, better prioritisation for fact-checkers and clearer evidence for policy actors. The system will be evaluated using data from the next three COP conferences.
