BBC Newsround｜TikTok如何应对气候变化虚假信息？

How is Tik Tok Tackling Climate Change Misinformation? | BBC Newsround

Videos on TikTok can make us laugh, cry, and even teach us interesting things about the world. But every now and again, posts containing harmful misinformation can end up on our 4U pages.
TikTok上的视频可以让我们欢笑、哭泣，甚至让我们了解世界上有趣的事情。但时不时地，一些包含有害虚假信息的帖子也出现在我们的4U页面上。

(Wake up guys, global warming isn't real. There is no climate change in the manner in which they speak. )These are just some examples of videos containing false information about climate change. Some of the people posting or sharing these videos believe climate change to be made up or exaggerated.
(醒醒吧，全球变暖不是真的。从他们的言论中，根本不存在气候变化。)这些只是一些包含气候变化虚假信息的视频的例子。一些发布或分享这些视频的人认为气候变化是编造或夸大的。

Climate scientists agree that human activity is responsible for the rapid climate change of the last hundreds years. Evidence shows that the increasing use of fossil fuels has led to a rise in CO2 and greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which has led to global warming, rising sea levels and made extreme weather more intense and more likely.
气候科学家一致认为，人类活动是造成过去数百年气候迅速变化的罪魁祸首。有证据表明，化石燃料使用量的增加导致大气中二氧化碳和温室气体的增加，从而导致全球变暖、海平面上升，并使极端天气变得更加剧烈和更有可能发生。

Doug is a climate scientist at the Met Office, that's the UK's national weather service. After seeing so much misinformation on social media, he decided to take action by posting his own videos about the science of climate change.
道格是英国国家气象局的气候科学家。在社交媒体上看到大量虚假信息后，他决定采取行动，发布自己关于气候变化科学的视频。

Now that's a phrase that we're going to have to get used to. As a climate scientist, I want people to understand how it will impact them right now and in the future. There's a lot that you see which disputes the basic facts of climate change. (Three facts why climate change is not man-made. The banks of this world know it's not going to happen. ) And it's very easy to take away a false picture about how certain we are about climate science. I see this again and again and again. It makes me feel tired and it makes me feel like I want to do better in communicating the science of climate change.
现在，气候变化是一个我们必须习惯的短语。作为一名气候科学家，我希望人们了解气候变化在现在和未来将如何影响他们。你看到的很多东西都在质疑气候变化的基本事实。（气候变化不是人为的三个事实。这个世界的银行知道这不会发生。）而且，我们很容易对气候科学的确定性产生错误的认识。我一次又一次地看到这一点。这让我感到疲惫，也让我觉得我想在气候变化科学的传播方面做得更好。

Earlier this year, TikTok promised to crack down on so-called climate deniers and says it has suspended accounts that frequently share false information. However, the BBC put this policy to the test. They found 365 videos that broke the rules. Many of them claimed man-made climate change wasn't real. The BBC Click team flagged the videos to TikTok, saying they contained harmful misinformation and gave the social media platform time to react.
今年早些时候，TikTok承诺打击所谓的气候否认者，并表示已经暂停了那些经常分享虚假信息的账号。然而，英国广播公司对这一政策进行了测试。他们发现有 365 个视频违反了规定。其中许多视频声称人为气候变化并不真实。BBC Click 团队将这些视频标记给了 TikTok，称其包含有害的虚假信息，并给了社交媒体平台作出反应的时间。

But almost 95% of the videos were still on TikTok over 24 hours later. What's more, these posts had a combined 30 million views between them. TikTok say they have now permanently removed the content and accounts that the BBC found. TikTok also said they're working with fact-checkers and that people searching for content around climate change are shown a link to places where they can find correct information.
但几乎95%的视频在 24 小时后仍留在 TikTok上。更重要的是，这些帖子的总浏览量达到了3000万次。TikTok表示，他们现在已经永久删除了BBC发现的内容和账户。TikTok还表示，他们正在与事实核查人员合作，人们在搜索有关气候变化的内容时，会看到一个链接，指向他们可以找到正确信息的地方。

But as TikTok are finding, keeping misinformation off social media isn't an easy task when there are 600 million daily users of the app. However, many climate change scientists think it's important that misinformation is kept off social media and the facts are shared as widely as possible.
但是，正如 TikTok 发现的那样，当每天有6亿用户使用该应用时，要让虚假信息远离社交媒体并非易事。不过，许多气候变化科学家认为，重要的是不要在社交媒体上散布虚假信息，并尽可能广泛地分享事实。
