"The [researchers] say the “report reveals how these East Coast #OffshoreWind opponents are not solely local – they are embedded in a network of seasoned #FossilFuel interests and #ClimateDenial think tanks that have perfected obstruction tactics for decades.”
One striking aspect of the anti-OSW network is the sharing of tactics and rhetoric, both in mainstream media and on social networks, said Slevin."
"Telegraph columnists routinely questioned climate science and criticised green reforms as a major backlash against net zero policies raged in the UK."
In light of the paper from Geoffrey Supran, @rahmstorf, and Naomi Oreskes showing that #Exxon predicted #GlobalWarming extremely accurately between 1977 and 2003, contradicting their decades of #ClimateDenial, this exchange between Rep. AOC and Exxon scientists is worth revisiting.
We are about to start the export back scheme at a rate of 3.5p per KWH . We pay at the moment 40p to #scottishenergy. Does this mean they make 35.5p per kWh profit. Or do you preside over a #ClimateDenial self energy creation scandal?
#ClimateChange is real, and a real worry is that once they finally recognize it and stop their denial, orthodox religionists, especially evangelicals, are going to insist it is ‘god’s will’, a sign of the end of times, and we should therefore accept and celebrate it. I expect they will stand in the way of those who seek to mitigate it, plan for the changes it will certainly bring, and legislate regulations designed to minimize the damage. Hell no, they’ll be all ‘bring it on, we’re on our way to heaven’. That’s going to be a huge problem for the rest of us, the rational, science-based ones who take this shit seriously. I’m not kidding here, we need to have strategies in place to deal with those who would stand in the way of solutions and the cultural changes necessary to avoid a worsening #ClimateCrisis. #ClimateEmergency#GlobalWarming#Religion#ClimateDenial#Superstition#evangelicals#orthodoxy
"f you regularly follow debates about public policy, especially those involving wealthy tech bros, it’s obvious that there’s a strong correlation among the three Cs: climate denial, Covid vaccine denial and cryptocurrency cultism."
#PBOT has a problem where they all spend effort shuffling around projects trying to catch potential funding sources falling from the sky and then don't really do basic things on the ground about what it's like to ride a bike in this city. #Portland#pdxBikes#Vision60or70something#ClimateDenial
I'm having a hard time believing, not that a #transportation agency would come up with a plan that was to sweep the broken glass and gravel off of the sidewalks and leave it in the bike lanes for a few days before sweeping it up, just that it wasn't done with intentional malice or disdain toward people on bikes. (months after it snowed and they graveled everything while plowing the snow onto the sidewalks) #BarburBlvd#pdxBikes#Portland#BikeTooter#ClimateDenial#CarSupremacy#ODOTGTFOpdx
Qui aurait pu prédire? (qu’une COP présidée par un pétrolier saboterait la sortie des énergies fossiles) #ACAB: All COPs Are Bullshit #COP28#ClimateDenial
“Scientists have won the battle to inform the public about climate change and its causes, which is why those opposed to climate action have cynically switched focus to undermining confidence in solutions and in science itself.”
As Storm Babet hammers Eastern Scotland, leading to record levels of flooding, why is there still so much Climate Change Denial? The scientific community has been warning about the threat of Climate Change for over 30 years, but still, we built on floodplains and failed to reduce fossil carbon emissions.
Now is the time to stop the denial and take real action!
PBOT working overtime to clear five car lanes by piling the snow and cut wood in the bike lanes is peak #climateDenial#CarSupremacy just keep serving up half of GHG emissions #GlobalWarming and wonder why people won't get out of their cars. #pdxBikes#Portland#pdxtst
So... you find people posting idiotic and dangerous misinformation and hate. Upon reporting (to the instance?) it looks like the entire instance is the problem. I imagine this is how hateful extremists are populating the fediverse. So... what happens? #hatespeech#misinformation#transphobia#dogwhistling#cryptobros#climatedenial
Red state attempts to tell city what to do / not do. This is the kind of delay tactics that is the current brand of #ClimateDenial. Helped by #CarBrain that says bus riders are undeserving.
" The bill targeted Indianapolis and could have scuttled over one hundred million dollars in federal funds. Specifically, the bill put a one year moratorium on dedicated lanes deemed essential for the Blue Line while a one year study could be conducted on their effectiveness."
An interesting takeaway from the English Local Elections was that candidates supporting Net Zero and stronger environmental policies did better than the pro mass motoring and climate denial/delay candidates.
It is odd that so much of the media don't want to report this, could it possibly have anything to do with the £2bn a year that the motor industry spends on advertising?
