  • Deliberative process in the public sphere is negatively influenced by information disorder. Todemonstrate this statement, a systematic review of the scientific literature on information disorder in thecontext of climate change was conducted, following the PRISMA verification method (Page et al.,2021). At the end of the process, we obtained 32 scientific articles published in 2022 and 2023 thataddress information disorder and climate change. The studies were analyzed considering theHabermasian approach to deliberation and the public sphere. Our research question is: how doesinformation disorder affect deliberative processes in the public sphere, especially in issues related toclimate change? The results suggest that the disinformation landscape leads to cognitive distortions andmisguided decisions, contributing to the fragility of opinions and debates in the public sphere
