   Repeating climate denial claims makes them seem more credible
   
   

   Mocatta said her own soon-to-be-published research had found that climate sceptical claims and climate misinformation tended to “travel faster, further and longer from its origin than accurate climate information”. She said climate sceptic claims tended to be more negative and emotion-arousing.
   
   Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw, co-director of The Workshop – an organisation that helps people use evidence to communicate complex issues, including climate change – said people were frequently being exposed to false climate information about climate.
   
   “It is framed in ways that makes it easy for people to hear and share,” she said.
   
   “The cognitive science is pretty clear that repetition is a very powerful tool because of how we process information. The more we hear something, from multiple sources, including those we trust, the smoother it becomes to process, the more accepted it is as ‘just known’.
