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
“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.”
"New denial" is a well-funded and orchestrated campaign, that is repeating the tobacco playbook. As #globalHeating is accepted, the latest #disinformation themes are:
"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."
"[Outright climate denial] is explicitly banned from generating ad revenue on #Youtube according to Google's policy.
Instead, the report found that last year 70% of #ClimateDenial content on the channels analyzed focused on attacking climate solutions as unworkable, portraying global warming as harmless or beneficial, or casting climate science and the environmental movement as unreliable. That's up from 35% five years earlier."
This #FossilFuel driven Dementor campaign is not helping people already struggling with mental health, especially the young. It may help if you point out to them that part of the bleak view on climate they get online is manufactured.
" “New denial” content — attacks on solutions, the science and the climate movement — now makes up 70% of all #ClimateDenial claims posted on #YouTube, according to the report, up from 35% in 2018. "
New data, derived from official UN delegate lists, found at least 166 climate deniers and #fossilfuel public relations professionals are at #COP28. The true number is probably significantly higher as only the most prominent bodies were included in the
@capntransit this must be a fake picture since the US can't do overhead lines with double-stacked cars 🤪 "a joint research agenda to test the safe integration of emerging technologies, including hydrogen-powered and battery-electric locomotives" #GreenWashing#ClimateDenial#PredatoryDelay#HydrogenPower#COP28
Qui aurait pu prédire? (qu’une COP présidée par un pétrolier saboterait la sortie des énergies fossiles) #ACAB: All COPs Are Bullshit #COP28#ClimateDenial
@fzer0 I call this particular kind of climate denying troll the “snow watchers”. They’re inactive as such during most of the year but awake in winter to declare climate change science as invalid because they see snow outside their window. #xitter is full of them.
Confirmed: Sultan Al-Jaber, head of COP28 but also of ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.) as well as Masdar, a renewable energy company in which ADNOC has a 24% stake, has been using COP28 to secure deals to increase fossil fuel extraction. In addition, COP28 staff have been directed to "always" plug ADNOC and Masdar in summit meetings.
This guy was actively supported and justified by the Biden administration. I wonder if the scandal has anything to do with their decision to keep Biden away from #COP28.
"Telegraph columnists routinely questioned climate science and criticised green reforms as a major backlash against net zero policies raged in the UK."
All my friends and family know who Greta Thunberg is but none of them (except my partner, because I told them) know that Ms. Thunberg has been getting arrested a lot. So interesting.
Anyway Thunberg is appearing in London court today for a plea hearing.
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!
