“KICLEI (‘Kicking International Council out of Local Environmental Initiatives’) was founded in 2023 by #FreedomConvoy activist Maggie Hope Braun with a singular aim: to convince towns and cities to quit the voluntary net-zero program Partners for Climate Protection, due to its ties to the UN through its co-organizer, ICLEI Canada.”

“We need to think about the future—and what we want it to be. Because today, the climate crisis leaves people vulnerable and dying.” — Andrew Harper, UNHCR calling on journalists to focus on the human element in face of disaster at #NISCPH #NewsImpactSummit #ClimateMisinformation

Our Story of the Week In our latest #ClimateNews roundup is a reply to a previous essay in the journal _Jacobin_, a critique of suggestions that climate communicators need not worry about #ClimateMisinformation and #ClimateDisinformation. Former Rhode Island state representative Aaron Regenburg makes a good case for why it's critical that we continue trying to keep the public mind firmly anchored in facts.

That and 33 other articles, easy to hand!

‘Just this year…Watters called global warming “corporate propaganda” and “a ruse,” said efforts to reduce emissions were “just a ploy” to get people “to buy more stuff the Democrats are selling,” and claimed that “certain parts of the world will get a tiny bit warmer, but the United States will do just fine.”’

Conspiracy nutter Watters suggested on air ‘that environmental groups advocating for increased investment in renewable energy “are taking dirty Russian money … to scare Americans out of fracking and energy exploration.”

‘He also helped to fuel unsubstantiated rumors being pushed by Republican lawmakers who say that offshore wind farms along the U.S. East Coast—none of which have actually been built yet—are responsible for an uptick of recent whale deaths.’
