The last four years, in Brazil, have been marked by profound setbacks in environmental policies. An aggravating element was the spread of false information that aimed to misinform about the direct impacts of human action on nature. In this context, the general objective of the work was to understand how Fake News, by denying human interference in the environment, has contributed to the acceleration of this process. To this end, the met hodology of documentary and bibliographic research was used with content analysis on the narratives uttered by the Brazilian president, between the years 2018 and 2021. The results pointed out that antiscience and denialist messages have fostered political support for the emptying of monitoring and enforcement in the environmental context, as well as for the successive increases of burns and deforestation in the Amazon Forest. As conclusions, the work puts to the field the importance of considering the impacts of Fake News in attempts to reduce the Anthropocene, emphasizing, however, that its dynamics have proved more complex than the mere emphasis on the scientific and environmental literacy
