Summary

Jarrod Fidden, an Australian entrepreneur living in Ireland behind a conspiracy-themed dating app, now runs Wide Awake Media, a major climate denial account on X (formerly Twitter).

With over 500,000 followers, including high-profile figures, the account spreads anti-climate and conspiracy narratives while monetizing its content.

Experts note the platform’s lax policies under Elon Musk enable such accounts to thrive in echo chambers of disinformation.

Wide Awake Media exemplifies how conspiracists pivot to climate denial for relevance and profit, as climate disinformation continues to grow alongside rising awareness of the climate crisis.

    That doesn’t make any sense - talk about “caring about words”!
