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 -

I love it when the #windows startup screen shows me images of Alaska, but the text accompanying this lovely photo of Portage Lake really misses the key point of the picture: When I lived here, there would have been a glacier taking up half the view.

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.

«…This collapse could be a result of global heating. “It’s not that much of a stretch to think, yes, we’re seeing one terrible ramification of human-caused climate change,” he says.…»
".…could be.…" and ".…not that much of a stretch.…"??? Could we even possibly make this accusation any more feebly?
Was anyone predicting glaciers would melt before climate change? They were formerly the kind of long-term fixed thing no one expected to change all of a sudden. Remember the phrase "moving at a glacial pace"?? That didn't arise because glaciers were prone to visible change in a short time.
But then climate scientists did their job and carefully worked out a lot of detailed consequences of physics, predicting that glaciers would be melting more and more everywhere, and that floods and mud slides and ultimately drought would be the next thing we'd see.
It doesn't take a complex analysis to attribute this to climate change. It takes a conspiracy of denialists, and the people that work for them, to suppress credence about the science if you want to tamp down anything so painfully obvious.
This is not a case where something happened and people said "what a surprise. we'll have to figure out the cause", like when a building burns down that no one expected to. This is a building that had a blaze burning in the front yard already and someone was positioning a large fan to assure the flames went toward the building in a known-to-be-dangerous way and then the building burned down and people are saying "hmm, we'll have to see what the cause might have been".
We need to stop reporting these events in isolation and report them as part of a coherent whole. Climate scientists' "a priori" predictions need their due. Predictions were copiously made in advance that the climate dice are not random but loaded, that bad things were about to happen. This is not a time for an "a posteriori" analysis where we pretend we thought the dice were fair and that sometimes bad things just happen randomly.

Not that there will be anyone left to write it, but when history looks back on this, it will not be seen as steps to protect the city but steps to be taken to avoid taking steps that protect the city.
Real protection from something that will just as surely overcome these steps as it has overcome present infrastructure means changing our society.
These are steps toward structural denialism, allowing the real problem to get larger by pretending that we can hold off seeing it for at least our lifetimes.
With every such delay, we multiply the problems that future generations will face.
Per the article «“The future of our city depends on the steps we take now..."» and yet what we really need is to finally say "we cannot wait any longer for a real fix" and the real effect of this is to say "yes, we can in fact wait. this is good enough for now".
This, and its ilk around the globe, takes real fear and dissipates it instead of galvanizing the will to make real change. This turns an existential threat to the planet and turns it into a pretended-to-be-manageable budgetary checklist item.

"The most common refrain I hear from climate deniers is that green policies are some kind of luxury divorced from the worries of working people who are just trying to get by. But the idea that you can separate the climate crisis from the cost of living is patently absurd. What happens when droughts cause food prices to rise and when oil-price shocks squeeze household budgets? When hospitals are overwhelmed by vulnerable people struggling in the heat? When railways and roads buckle, workplaces close and schools are shuttered? The notion that climate action represents “woke nonsense” relies on the ridiculous premise that the climate crisis isn’t real – or that if it is, we won’t feel its impact on our lives. This year has proven just how wrong that is.
We are living in an era of extremes, and my fear is that – without urgent action – the worst is still to come. In this context, climate denial and delay isn’t just delusional – it’s deadly. Because it won’t be President Trump and the fossil fuel companies paying the price for failure – it will be the rest of us. If we are to protect our planet and the people who call it home, we must turn the tide on climate denial by preparing for a hotter future and embracing net zero like never before."

We'd like to think rights are inviolable, but they are fragile and borne of stability and surplus. When those are threatened, people get more casual with what they'll do for others.
Also, the very notion of annual meetings has an inappropriate stability baked in. Climate is accelerating, which means the pace of its wrath is not synchronized to budget cycles or the Earth's leisurely path around the sun.
At this point, the very notion of an annual meeting about climate is a statement of denial. It is essential to meet as often and for as long as is needed to get serious action. It may be uncomfortable for representatives to ask there host nation or company for resources or calendar time, itself the most precious resource, but if those entities are not up to feeling uncomfortable in service of something larger, then THAT is the key obstacle and the smoking gun of denialism.
Climate change should be making us uncomfortable. It promises much worse than that, and soon. Discomfort helps to set priorities properly. Smoothing over discomfort admits the acceptability of status quo priorities.
Ask for semi-annual meetings or the right to variable lengths of time to get real points across and obtain serious commitment.
Survival of the species is on the line, and too many places in the world are hierarchically arranged so that that will be managed by herd thinning in vain hope that's enough to let our most affluent survive at the expense of others. In other words, kindness and human rights will be the first casualties of a society structured to preserve its sociopathic leaders at all costs.
And, saddest of all, when the rest are gone, the sociopaths will realize they haven't the skill to do much of anything necessary even for survival, and then they will be gone, too. If I thought we were focused on preserving at least our kindest, or smartest, or hardest working people, I might have hope in this regard. But the ones with the bunkers are none of these things, nor will they be able to keep those bunkers in working order long enough for the planet to recover and humanity to thrive again.

So one way to mitigate the Trump drilling frenzy is for other countries to cut then cease imports of US fossil fuels.
"The US position in energy today looks unassailable. At home, we keep expanding the share of wind, solar, and batteries in the power system—which at the margin frees up more coal, and more natural gas for export."

@europesays
This is good framing: "carbon pollution".
Better than global heating. "Pollution" implies polluters, with addresses.
It also denies a sense that 'warming' or 'heating' might be okay. No, pollution is a bad thing.

Expressing targets in absolute terms is an improvement over the gameable ways of expressing things we have now
But 2050 is unreasonably far away. Civilization could have collapsed by then, or sooner. There is no safe speed to apply needed changes. Any timeline that is not "now, immediately, without delay" risks politicians saying it's deferable or not their job, or saying that whatever unmetered thing they do in the interim, no matter how feeble, is all that's required to set up future success.
Plus some other nations will not do their part. It matters for everyone to. But everyone must overachieve hugely to cover others' failures.
We need governments to just say "now, highest priority, all hands on deck, all other considerations secondary". Talk of far off dates, with paced action, is just so much spinning of fairy tales and will get us all killed.
