Facebook this week announced it would replicate its widely used COVID-19 information center in combating another global crisis: climate change.

Many Facebook users opened the platform on Tuesday to find a banner prompting them to “see how our climate is changing.” That led them to the Climate Science Information Center, a hub with facts about global warming from such groups as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and World Meteorological Organization. Facebook also said it would “include posts from relevant sources to highlight climate science news.”
