Misinformation Alert: Renewables are falsely linked to the energy crisis

The document identifies a trend of disinformation in the UK where the current energy crisis—driven by high gas prices and Russia's invasion of Ukraine—is being falsely blamed on renewable energy and climate solutions to alienate 'Persuadables' from climate action.

• The high electricity prices in the UK are caused by high gas prices resulting from the global lockdown and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, rather than climate solutions.
• Disinformation actors in the UK are attempting to turn 'Persuadables' against climate action by falsely linking the energy crisis to climate solutions.
