But the risks are often more immediate. Online climate-related conspiracy theories can quickly cause damage offline, disrupting emergency communications and recovery efforts. Officials have said this week that the disinformation about Hurricanes Helene and Milton was making relief workers a target, and the American Red Cross warned that the outlandish claims could prevent survivors from seeking help.

What a crock.

The New York Times is known to be dishonest about anything having to do with conservatives. These are the falsehoods that are attempting to destroy the country. It’s really a laugh to see the New York Times make their comments when they are a prime operator of falsehoods, misremembering, fake news and so forth. What a bunch of pathetic putzes.

“The falsehoods, which have been circulating on X, TikTok, YouTube”
Yeah lots of people believe what they see on TikTok!! All of it is always 100 percent true!
Now the NYT will throw into the TikTok rubbish the claim that FEMA spent $700 million to house and feed illegal immigrants - which is 100 percent true and KJP said it at a press conference and was damn proud of it. And they will mix in with the TikTok freaks, the claim that FEMA is offering only $750 for the victims of the flooding, even though Harris said it on TV and was damn proud of it.
