Climate knowledge has been taken hostage to prevent climate action.
“It didn’t happen by accident. It’s the product of a deliberate and systematic assault on knowledge by some of the richest people on Earth. Preventing climate breakdown means protecting ourselves from the storm of lies.”

Dark forces are preventing us fighting the climate crisis – by taking knowledge hostage | George Monbiot

The US conservative movement has organized & funded a massive anti-wind power campaign, based on lies & bullying. Researchers at Brown University have been investigating & revealing that campaign.
Now cons are pressuring the university to shut the investigators down.

She was right! Heat pumps are important, democracy is under threat, and ThirdAct is brilliant.
"Climate is the fire of our lives. And democracy is the door we have to keep unlocked if we are to get to that fire." Proud to be with @thirdactorg.bsky.social, founded a few years ago on that premise (and to be the anonymous person saying "not now, we're in the middle of a coup" in this piece).

Hat tip to Marisa. Of late, it has been possible to see breaking news on BlueSky, but this feels like the first time a really big national story broke on BlueSky.
“There’s still this idea that news is only ‘real’ once it’s confirmed by big corporate outlets. After all, could one woman with absolutely zero institutional backing in leggings and a sweatshirt in her NYC apartment really be the one to break such an important story? Now we know the answer is yes.”

Yes, yes y’all. I like the push from Dr. V too, but we have to get away from the needless binaries. Systems change AND individual action. Peanut butter AND chocolate. All of the above, but not the baddie version.
Not sure why they have to be separate. We know that yes to renewables, for example, doesn't automatically mean no to fossil fuel, so we have to go after fossil fuel directly to get to yes a thriving planet, and yes a clean energy system. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Renewables growth did not dent fossil fuel dominance in 2022, report says
Global energy demand rose 1% last year and record renewables growth did nothing to shift the dominance of fossil fuels, which still accounted for 82% of supply, the industry's Statistical Review of World Energy report said on Monday.
