  1. The ACT Party’s climate policy is idiotic and deceitful.

    NZ’s pledge to halve emissions by 2030 was already insufficient and then further weakened by accounting tricks, rollbacks, and a relaxed methane target.

    Independent ratings do NOT see NZ as more ambitious than other countries.

    It's blatant climate denial.

  6. My personnal feeling is more like:
    - first they went for climate-scientists #climatedenial
    - then secondly they went for scientists and historians, it was at the beginning of COVID19

    Journalists helped to complete the job

    Then they continued, because it worked: Journalists are NOT scientists

  7. Documents shed light on the earliest-known instance of #ClimateScience funded by the #FossilFuel industry, adding to growing understanding of #BigOil ’s knowledge of #ClimateChange . Fossil fuel industry sponsored climate science in 1954.

    February 1, 2024, Rebecca John

    Excerpt: "Unknown until now, however, is the fact that Keeling’s earliest research into carbon dioxide across the western U.S. was funded in part by the fossil fuel industry via a private foundation — and that in 1954 this foundation was informed of the potential impact of manmade carbon dioxide emissions on both the climate and human civilization.

    "Newly discovered documents affirm that the #automobile and #petroleum industries funded early climate science #Keeling conducted at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) between 1954 and 1956. Records show that 'oil and auto companies' sponsored the scientist’s research via an organization called the Southern California Air Pollution Foundation, formed in 1953 to tackle Los Angeles’s infamous smog. American Motors, #Chrysler, #Ford, and #GeneralMotors were among 18 automotive companies that gave money to the foundation.

    "A 1959 internal U.S. Public Health Service memo also identifies the #AmericanPetroleumInstitute ( #API ) and the #WesternOilAndGasAssociation — the oldest petroleum trade association in the U.S., which is now known as the #WesternStatesPetroleumAssociation — as 'major contributors to the funds of the Air Pollution Foundation.' Its Board of Trustees included top-level representatives from the Southern California Gas Company, the Southern California Edison Co., Chrysler, General Motors, and Union Oil (now #Chevron).

    "And from mid-1955, these trustees were also appraised of research projects by a seven-man 'technical advisory committee,' which included a senior official from API as well as scientists from the Richfield Oil Corporation (now #BP ) and #Chrysler.

    "With the discovery of these Air Pollution Foundation documents, it is now possible to date the earliest sponsorship of climate science by the fossil fuel industry to 1954, approximately a quarter of a century before Exxon’s internal research program of the late 1970s. These new documents provide important evidence that the fossil fuel industry has been intricately connected to climate science from its earliest beginnings — not only as a driver of the greenhouse effect behind climate change, but also as a contributor to the scientific discoveries that would transform our understanding of humanity’s relationship with the Earth and its atmosphere.

  8. Charlie Kirk was a fossil fuel industry plant
    Big Oil's money gave Kirk a larger platform to spread baseless climate conspiracy theories—as well as other extremist views.

    > fails to agree timeline for seventh assessment report

    The timeline they're failing on for all of these global climate meetings is that of the meeting itself. If it takes 2 or 3 weeks, take the time, but do not leave until there is agreenent. What is there waiting that is more important?

    Reality cannot be scheduled. It must be taken on the timeline it offers. If that doesn't align with budget cycles, tough.

    Is it too much civil disobedience to ask that these folks just sit still and run overtime as needed to get their job done? What's the worst that could happen? Well, funny you should ask, because that's the exact topic of these very meanings...

    The arguments made, and the article upthread is super helpful for laying them out (so I recommend reading it), amount to some people (i.e., national.representatives) with no apparent sense of the urgency arguing that "perfect is a friend of the good", it "just" requires more time--as if there's any to be had.

    I'm sorry, even without their all-important report, it's obvious what the problem is: a lack of sense of the incredibly high risk of delay.

    Stay until everyone sees it.

    Bar the doors if need be.

    There is no extra time, no time to plan comfortably, no time to get every detail right.

    There is only now, and the too real possibility of no tomorrow.

    #Verdrängungsgesellschaft, that’s very good. Also because Verdrängung is actually a better word than denial: that you are just pushing things to the side (a phenomenon I recognise well in myself). I don’t know if there is a true English translation for it; displacement and delay don’t quite capture it for me, either. #ClimateDenial #ClimateDelay

  11. 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?

  12. Climate work to do.
    But, to paraphrase Zevon,
    We'll do it when dead.

    #hhaiku #senryu #poem #ShortPoem #climate #ClimateDelay #ClimateDenial #WarrenZevon

    Lyrics to Warren Zevon's "I'll sleep when I'm dead" begin with:

    So much to do, there's plenty on the farm
    I'll sleep when I'm dead
    Saturday night I like to raise a little harm
    I'll sleep when I'm dead 

    That's us, unable to stave off extinction because we're too busy raising a little harm.

    scientists say Rupert Murdoch wielded his media empire to sow confusion and doubt

    theguardian.com/media/2023/sep

    The tycoon, who is stepping down from News Corp and Fox, has used his outlets to promote denial and delay action, experts say.
