- Abstract
Given the access barriers imposed by traditional media, climate obstructionism has found a new distribution system for its messages in social networks and messaging services. Using a case study approach, this article proposes an analysis of communications attacking scientific organizations, institutions, public representatives, activists, and media outlets. The study sample, which consists of a total of 129 messages, covers the verification of climate crisis related content conducted until June 30, 2023 by fact-checking agencies operating in Spain. The results demonstrate that this new denialism has shifted from questioning the work of scientists to sowing doubts about the messengers, including activists, institutions and media.
