Disinformation exposed – Byron Clark and Mandy Henk
Whether it’s swallowing bleach to treat Covid or casting climate change as a Chinese conspiracy, disinformation takes nutty ideas from fringes and mainstreams them into our popular discourse. At best, it’s hilarious – seen how windmills kill dolphins anyone? But mostly it’s just sad and sometimes tragic.
What is disinformation? How is it different from misinformation? Who are the main perpetrators and the victims? No one knows more about this than Byron Clark, author of ‘Fear: New Zealand’s Hostile Underworld of Extremists’ and Mandy Henk an advocate for healthy, just, and vibrant digital communities.
Together they are offering a Climate Disinformation Night Class, consisting of eight-week, Zoom-based sessions via Tohatoha, an organisation creating a fairer digital world.

How to change carbon behaviour, big time – Ben Gleisner, Cogo
The conscious consumer movement has an impact but it’s still small – a minority of people choose to change their behaviour. Imagine if you could make your carbon footprint your bank’s problem. Imagine these large institutions, with millions of customers and insights into their spending, worry about their customers’ carbon footprint. That’s the genius of new carbon disclosure laws – banks, insurances companies, airlines and other large companies must now report not only on their own footprints but their customers’ too – so-called Scope 3 emissions. And someone needs to help them do that counting.
Enter Cogo, formerly a personal carbon footprint app, now being deployed by banks across Australia, NZ and the UK. Ben Gleisner, founder and entrepreneur joins Vincent to explain what’s going on with Cogo.
