Climate Feedback is a worldwide network of scientists sorting fact from fiction in climate change media coverage. Their goal is to help readers know which news to trust.
The Science Feedback association is a not-for-profit organization registered in France whose mission is defined in its status as to improve the credibility of science-related information online, in the media and on social media. The association notably acts through:
the organizing of scientists’ response to influential information by verifying facts and scientific theories,
the writing of pedagogical content and critical commentary of science media coverage,
the development of numerical services as well as contributions to raising awareness about misinformation to tackle its negative impacts on democratic societies.
Their reviews are written by editors who are scientists or science journalists and abide by strict editorial standards. Editors rely on the best available evidence, notably the peer-reviewed scientific literature and scientists who contribute to their analyses (reviewers). Reviewers are chosen for their domain expertise, notably verified by having recently published articles in top-tier peer-reviewed science journals, and are asked to conform to high quality community standards.
